Novsight Serial numbered plate to remind you

Novsight Serial numbered plate to remind you how special this car is Plus, given the car's compact size, it comes as no surprise that storage space is rather measly with some cubby holes for keys and wallets, and a mere 105 litres of space in the rear (just in front of the engine) for small bags.Engineered to be light and fast, the abundance of carbon fibre, aluminium and plastic compounds have combined to let the 4C tip the scales at a mere 895kg (unladen and without fluids). Powering the car is a mid-mounted 1.8-litre turbocharged powerplant with 240bhp and 350Nm of torque on tap. And from the moment you ease yourself bum first into the car and turn the ignition, being in the 4C becomes an occasion to remember.

As the engine roars to life with a single purpose - pure driving exhilaration - and you push the button or tap the paddle shifters to engage first gear and drive off, the engine makes it known to all around that it's on the move with a mixture of roars, growls and whooshes as the air exits the wastegate on gear changes. The 1.8-litre engine is the perfect comrade for aural pleasure 240bhp may not sound like much, but given the car's lightness, it packs in more than enough power to see you shoot off like a catapult, with peak torque hitting you squarely in the chest from just 2,200rpm. The century sprint is despatched easily, possibly even quicker than the published 4.5 seconds before the car maxes out at 258km/h. Drivers who like getting it on hard and fast will easily get hooked on how easily the 4C's six-speed dual-clutch gearbox deals out speed. It's like taking shots of tequila and getting the 'high' kicked in instantly - tremendously intoxicating. You'd want to come back for second, third and fourth, except that when you're flat out on third gear, you find yourself way above the legal speed limits and in need of slowing down.Coupled with that carbon fibre tub of a chassis, it's immensely planted round corners. headlight
