THE COLLECTION WELCOMES ALFA ROMEO

Food, charity and the launch of a new vehicle make for a perfect event, and that’s what this was! Together with Ocean Drive magazine, we here at THE COLLECTION celebrated the arrival of the Alfa Romeo brand and the all-new, limited-production 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C!

The Alfa Romeo was spinning (literally) with buzz and its Rosso Alfa color popped from every angle. The arrival of the 4C boasts a sweet price point and race-inspired performance, which will add a unique diversity to our showrooms.

Boasting Italian style, the Alfa Romeo 4C demonstrates original values of performance and engineering excellence. Starting at $68,400 and a limited production of only 500 in the U.S., the launch edition of the 4C is a two-seater sports car with a focus on aerodynamic efficiency and lightness. The solid foundation is due to the handcrafted carbon-fiber monocoque chassis weighing a mere 143 lbs. Sporting a modest 1.7-litre four-cylinder engine, the 4C boasts 237 horsepower and can travel from 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds on its way to a 160-mph top speed. The 4C is built using the latest technology blending the legendary trademark of style and performance.
