The Alfa Romeo 4C sports coupe and convertible get new options for the 2018 model year.

With Alfa Romeo focusing heavily on the Giulia sedan and its new Stelvio SUV, it’s little surprise the 4C is not getting any more updates or changes. Pricing for the 2018 model 4C Coupe starts from $57,495 including destination, while the 4C Spider has a $67,495 starting price. The only changes for the 2018 model year are the addition of an optional front fascia with carbon fiber vents, and increased availability of the black leather seats with yellow accent stitch.

Previously, buyers that wanted the yellow stitching had to purchase the Giallo Prototipo (yellow) 4C model, but now the option of black leather seats with yellow stitching is available on Black, White, and Basalt Gray vehicles. In order to add the yellow stitching, buyers will have to pay $1,500 in addition to the $2,000 leather upholstery option for $3,500 total.

Otherwise, the Alfa Romeo 4C retains its 1.75-liter turbocharged engine with 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, while tipping the scales at under 2,500 pounds.

Available exterior colors for the 2018 model year include Black, White, Basalt Gray, Alfa Rosso, Giallo Prototipo, Madreperla White Tri-Coat, and Rosso Competizione Tri-Coat. Along with the yellow accent stitching option for the black leather interior, buyers can also get red accent stitching. For a truly race-inspired cabin, there’s a red leather seating option with black accent stitching.
