For these two cars you will be getting a 1.75-liter, all-aluminum, direct-injection, turbocharged engine with Alfa TCT twin-clutch transmission. The 4C Spider comes with a carbon fiber windshield, soft-top roof with a hard-top option made out of carbon fiber as well. You can also opt to get a center-mounted exhaust with carbon fiber surround.
