The 2022 Porsche 911 and 2022 Alfa Romeo 4C are two iconic cars. The 911 has been around for seven decades, making it one of the most successful sports cars in history. The 4C is a newer model that upholds a similar legacy as its German counterpart. So, how do these two stacks up against each other? In this article, we’ll dive into what makes these two vehicles so unique and how they compare to one another on performance, price, and reliability.
Design & Style
The exterior design of the 2022 Porsche 911 is a thing of beauty. This car features a classic design that will stand the test of time, and it’s something you can leave on your driveway for years and still look good. However, if you’re looking for something more modern, we recommend checking out the 2022 Alfa Romeo 4C. While this vehicle has a less-than-traditional body shape, it still offers many classic details, such as an engine bonnet with two air vents on either side (called “nostrils”). The 4C’s exterior also comes equipped with LED headlights and taillights, which are always an excellent choice for making any car stand out from its peers—and who doesn’t want to be noticed when driving?
The Porsche 911 has a clean, simple interior design that feels like it was pulled straight out of the 1960s. It’s not perfect by today’s standards, but it’s a classic that works. The Alfa Romeo 4C takes a more modern approach to its interior design and cabin space, even though its exterior design is reminiscent of older cars.
Both vehicles have standard air conditioning, which means you’ll be able to stay cool on hot days or warm in cold weather when driving around town or on long trips. Neither vehicle has any built-in navigation system or rear entertainment system for the back seat passengers; however, both models offer an optional infotainment system that allows you to connect your smartphone via Bluetooth for hands-free calling and streaming music through Apple Music or Spotify Premium subscriptions. They also have standard satellite radio capability, so you can listen to music from SiriusXM Radio channels whenever you want (but remember: there are no physical CD players).
Technology & Safety
In the 2022 Porsche 911, you’ll find a touchscreen display that offers access to the infotainment system and climate controls. The Alfa Romeo 4C is a step back in this area, as it offers an analog instrument cluster instead of an LCD screen. Both cars offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality.
The 2022 Porsche 911 has some pretty high-tech safety features available on higher trim levels: adaptive cruise control with brake function (ACC), automatic emergency braking (AEB), blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert (BCTM), lane change assistant with side assist and active lane change assist.
Performance
The 2022 Porsche 911 will get the same engine as its 2021 predecessor, though there may be some small tweaks. The 3.0-liter turbocharged flat-six engine produces 379 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque in base trim. An optional Speedster package boosts output to 370 hp and 310 lb-ft, while a Sport Chrono Package ups it once again to 385 hp and 323 lb-ft.
The 2022 Alfa Romeo 4C features a 1.7-liter turbocharged inline-four that makes 237 hp at 5500 rpm and 258 lb ft at 2000–5500 rpm — that’s enough power to propel this lightweight coupe from 0–60 mph in just 4 seconds flat!
The Bottom Line
The 2022 Porsche 911 is a fantastic car that easily wins the battle of the roadsters. The 2022 Alfa Romeo 4C has a unique look and feel, but it just needs more under the hood to compete with the performance machine that is the 2022 Porsche 911.
