The Alfa Romeo 4C was the test car for bringing Alfa back into the U.S. market. Built to compare to a Lotus Elise, Mazda MX-5 or other similar small, sporty little rockets, the 4C hasn’t really taken off as well as FCA has probably hoped it would. Many reviews targeted the supercharged 1.7L four-banger for not being enough engine for the promise the car’s visuals offered up, even though a 4C will trap a high-12 quarter and is plenty fast enough for 99.98% of drivers out there. But for the remaining two hundredths of a percent, the ones who insist that their meals are cooked over lava and whose idea of the perfect shot drink is JP4, here’s an option: ditch the four and jam in a Zytek 3.0L V8 that came out of a Formula 3000 race car. You’ll end up with a sexy little number that has all of the restraint of a woman scorned, all the peace and solitude of a bomb blast, and the lateral grip of a cheetah two feet behind an injured gazelle and closing fast. Marco Gramenzi is the man who whipped up this howler of a sports car, and Bozzy is the one who captured the noise of this little terror at the Verzegnis Hillclimb in the far northeastern section of Italy, near Slovenia. Crank the volume up!
