Alfa Romeo 4C concept pictures and video

By Greg Mombert Published August 1, 2011

The Alfa Romeo 4C concept made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year, and so far only a few photos have been officially released. The compact “supercar” relies on the classic two-seater formula for its layout. Rear-wheel drive, a length of just over 13 feet, and wheelbase of less than 8 feet combine to give the concept its compact size and agility. The combination of a completely carbon body along with an aluminum frame structure and crash boxes limit the Romeo 4C’s weight to only 1,874 pounds. Powering the 4C concept will be a 4 cylinder 1750 Turbo Petrol engine that pumps out over 200HP and features cutting-edge technology for direct injection, valve timing, and eliminating turbo lag. The Romero 4C is will not be just a concept — the real thing is expected to go on sale in 2012.

BYD Seal 08 makes a splash for under $30K, and It gives the Tesla Model 3 a run for its money

More range, more interior, more spec, for less money than a Tesla Model 3. Just not in the US yet.

The Tesla Model 3 has spent years defining what a premium and functional EV should cost; that’s what we’re used to. However, BYD seems to think that number is way too high.

The Chinese automaker has unveiled a new flagship sedan, the Seal 08, that packs features you don’t normally expect from cars in this segment, blurring the line between affordable and luxury. And after reading its entire spec sheet, it’s actually the price that shakes me the most.

A stolen Kia reveals the hidden limits of connected car technology

Kia can see where your stolen car is. GDPR means it won't share that in real time. That is the entire problem.

If you’re buying a car with connected car technology, thinking it would help you to recover it in the event of theft, you might want to recalibrate your expectations.

A recent incident in the UK, in which a car owner had three tracking devices installed in his car and still couldn’t recover it, led the carmaker to state that connected-car technology isn’t a “certified security vehicle tracker” (via the BBC).
