Alfa Romeo 4C Runs 8:04 Nurburgring Lap Time
Alfa Romeo has announced that its 4C sports car has turned in an impressive 8:04 Nurburgring lap time, and it could still go faster.
The 8:04 lap time puts the 4C in the same company as the Audi R8 V8, Porsche Cayman S and is even faster than the previous BMW E92 M3 model. But the Italian automaker believes that it might still go quicker.
