Alfa Romeo 4C Takes on Mini JCW Roadster in Rare Drag Race

However, the Mini has a slight advantage.

The Alfa Romeo 4C has been voted the best lightweight sports car. Although its styling is controversial (I love the unique cuts), its 1.21 horsepower per pound power to weight ratio is superior to that of the Lotus Elise and nearly as good as the Evora.

You can expect the 4C will outperform other sports cars. How does the 4C compare to a Mini Cooper JCW Roadster?

Let’s see the video above. Before we start, let us lay out the numbers so you can compare them in black and white.

Alfa Romeo 4C Takes on Mini JCW Roadster in Rare Drag Race

Alfa Romeo 4c’s turbocharged turbocharged four-pot produces 240 horsepower (179 kW) as well as 258 lbft (350 Nm). Although these numbers may not seem impressive, considering the 4C’s 2,072 pound (940 kg), dry weight, they support the power-toweight ratio I mentioned earlier.

The Mini Cooper JCW Roadster comes in stock with a turbocharged, 1.6L gasoline engine. It produces 208 horsepower.

This is not your average Mini JCW Roadster. It’s a tuned version with 270 horsepower (201 kW) at the top and 295 lbft (400 Nm) in twists, according to its owner. This is a significant power boost, but it’s not possible to discredit the fact the Mini weighs significantly more than the Alfa at 2,767lbs (1,255kg).
