We have to find more customers, and the way to do that is by providing what they want. Fancy niche models will not contribute very much to our stability.” He does not say “like the 4C” but it is clear this is what he’s thinking.

The mid-engined four-cylinder 4C will continue for now, but there is no indication that it will be replaced.

Production of 4C began May 2013 at Maserati's plant in Modena, with an expected production of up to 2500 units per year.[28] It will be the first mass-produced Alfa Romeo car for re-entry into the US market.[29]

Production of Alfa Romeo 4C was originally estimated to be over 1000 units per year,[30] with an upper limit of 3500 units per year, depending on the quantity of carbon fiber chassis that can be built by the supplier Adler Plastic.[31][32][33] Within the 3,500-unit quota, 1,000 units of which are earmarked for Europe.[
