Max Biaggi drives the Alfa Romeo 4C SBK Safety Car video

At the recent Silverstone round of the World Superbike Championship, current WSBK Champion Max Biaggi – now a commentator for the Italian TV – was invited to drive the new Alfa Romeo 4C on the historic British circuit, and you just know Mr.
Biaggi is not the kind of man that would miss out on such a good opportunity to have some serious fun.

The little Italian sports car is the official safety car for the World Superbike series and we usually see it dressed in red, but this time around it was given a special white livery with a 3-color stripe – resembling the Italian flag – crossing it all throughout in an attempt to emphasize its sportiness.

However, here is a nice video documenting the event, with Max Biaggi explaining – in Italian – how a rider should approach the most significant corners of the British circuit.
If you don’t speak Italian just don’t worry, he isn’t really telling us any undisclosed secret about it.
The Alfa Romeo 4C is powered by a new 4-cylinder 1750 cc turbo petrol engine producing around 237 horsepower, with direct fuel injection, dual continuous variable valve timing – an innovative aluminum block with specific intake and exhaust systems – and a revolutionary scavenging control system that gets rid of any turbo lag.

Thanks to engine and a curb weight of just 950 kg , the Alfa Romeo 4C can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.
5 seconds before hitting its electronically-limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).
