Seven Four-Cylinder Cars That Defy Supercar Conventions

Jalopnik highlights seven four-cylinder vehicles, ranging from the 1960s ASA 1000 GT to the 2024 Lotus Emira, that achieve supercar-level performance through lightweight construction, turbocharging, or advanced engineering. These models challenge the traditional definition of supercars, which typically requires V8, V10, or V12 engines. Key examples include the Lotus Esprit, which reached 170 mph with a 300 hp four-cylinder, and the Alfa Romeo 4C, which uses a carbon-fiber monocoque to achieve a 0-60 mph time of 4.2 seconds with just 237 hp. The list also features rare homologation specials like the Porsche 968 Turbo S and the single-seater BAC Mono, demonstrating that cylinder count is not the sole determinant of high performance.

Dodge Chief Takes Chrysler and Alfa Romeo NA Lead in Stellantis Shakeup

Stellantis appoints Dodge CEO Matt McAlear to lead Chrysler and Alfa Romeo in North America after chief executive Chris Feuell exits for personal reasons. Feuell’s tenure left Chrysler with a two‑model lineup centered on the Pacifica/Voyager and yielded little revival, while Alfa Romeo NA sales declined amid leadership reshuffles. McAlear, a 13‑year Stellantis veteran who previously oversaw Dodge and the Charger launch, inherits a reorganizing corporate structure and a brand portfolio with an uncertain product plan beyond a planned 2027 Pacifica refresh as the automaker reevaluates its North American strategy.

"Alfa Romeo's Name Change Saga: From Milano to Junior"

Alfa Romeo is changing the name of its upcoming Milano compact SUV to "Junior" after a dispute with the Italian government, which objected to the implication that the vehicle was built in Italy when it will actually be produced in Poland. The name "Junior" holds historical significance for the brand, dating back to the 1960s, and Alfa Romeo CEO Jean-Philippe Imparato stated that the change was made voluntarily. Despite the controversy, the new Junior represents a shift towards an entry-level luxury crossover for the brand.
