Alfa Romeo 4C value and depreciation
Known for carbon tub at supercar-lite money.
Projected value of a new Alfa Romeo 4C
We class the Alfa Romeo 4C as a luxury flagship & exotic in our 12-tier model, which puts its retention at roughly 52% after three years and 35% after five. Flagship saloons and exotics shed value brutally once the first owner is done. Some halo cars (911, certain AMG and M cars) beat this curve and carry per-model overrides.

A handful of 4Cs were sold new in South Africa from 2014, with the Spider following in 2015 at prices around R1.17 million. Its carbonfibre tub and 1750 turbo engine made it a genuine exotic in miniature, if a demanding daily drive. Scarcity keeps used values firm, unlike almost every other Alfa.
