The Geneva Auto Show is witness to many a beauty making their debut. Among them the Alfa Romeo 4C Concept has been showcased as a two-seater vehicle that comes across as a rear-wheel drive sport coupe. The car maker proposes to take the concept to production without much delay. We hear the model will go on sale in 2012.
