\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Making its debut last year at the\u00a081st Geneva International Motor Show, the Alfa Romeo 4C Concept has officially been approved for production. \u00a0What is making a lot of Phoenix Valley luxury and performance enthusiasts salivate is that Alfa Romeo has also made their distribution intentions clear: We wish to re-enter the US market with the 4C.<\/p>\n

The Alfa Romeo 4C is compact looks and feels like a super car \u00a0in league with the Bugatti Veyron or the Lexus LFA, yet its simplified engine and shockingly low price tag (keep reading to find out) sets it apart from the crowd.<\/p>\n

Alfa Romeo was originally intended to invade the US luxury auto market in the latter half of this summer, but as of the now the\u00a0automotive\u00a0manufacturer finds themselves still sorting through mountains of red tape and regulations. \u00a0However, it has recently been reported\u00a0in\u00a0Automotive News <\/em>that\u00a0Fiat Group (the umbrella company for Alfa Romeo) has been\u00a0granted the U.S. trademark for \u201cAlfa Romeo 4C\u201d. \u00a0While the date of actual sale of the Alfa Romeo 4C keeps getting pushed into the future (late 2013 currently) we do know that Fiat Group means business.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an extremely important step for Alfa Romeo, as we continue to reposition our brand and prepare it for global distribution. The United States remains our primary objective as we prepare for a 2013 introduction of our models,\u201d added Harald J. Wester, Fiat\u2019s Chief Technology Officer and head of the Alfa Romeo and Maserati Brands.<\/p>\n

Maserati\u00a0is set to produce\u00a0the 4C\u00a0in Italy with the intention of exporting internationally. \u00a0The luxury high performance car comes with a\u00a0$59,310 pricetag here in the US.<\/p>\n

Phoenix Valley luxury and performance\u00a0automobile\u00a0enthusiasts who wish to\u00a0acquire\u00a0an Alpha Romeo 4C, when they do eventually hit Phoenix Valley shores, need to get in line now, as only 2,500 models will be produced each year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Import to the U.S. will change the face of super cars in North America \n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2693,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[12],"class_list":["post-2692","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-auto-news","tag-featured","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"yoast_head":"\nAlfa Romeo 4C is Coming to the U.S.<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Alfa Romeo 4C Concept Production North America Patent Maserati Fiat U.S. Sale Scottsdale Phoenix Arizona Valley\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/alfa-romeo-4c-is-coming-to-the-u-s\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Alfa Romeo 4C is Coming to the U.S.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Alfa Romeo 4C Concept Production North America Patent Maserati Fiat U.S. Sale Scottsdale Phoenix Arizona Valley\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/alfa-romeo-4c-is-coming-to-the-u-s\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Arizona Auto News -
