'Just drive' is a definite invitation to see these real sensations that simply Alfa Romeo can offer.

Remarkable efficiency, extreme aerodynamics, exceptional management and layout that occupies the stylistic attributes of the Alfa Romeo tradition. This in short is the latest Alfa Romeo 4C, a device without compromise that beckons motorists to take to the street or track to go through the delight of driving it.

The Alfa Romeo 4C is essentiality and lightweight, an automobile where everything is made to supply absolute driving enjoyment. Its design was shaped by that same essentiality. The auto expresses a "natural beauty" that results from the perfect fusion of function and shape. Its dimensions and layout instantly provides some of the very amazing coupes of time to mind, the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale. Like the celebrated 33 Stradale, the 4C is intended to satisfy practical demands and extreme mechanical.

Created by Alfa Romeo engineers and created in the Maserati plant in Modena, this fascinating coupe with 2 racing bucket seats utilizes components and layout solutions like carbon, aluminum, and rearwheel drive derived from the 8C Competizione along with systems from Alfa Romeo's newest versions, all completely revised to maximise the brand new car's sporting appeal.

A period of about 4 metres plus a wheelbase of less-than 2.4 metres emphasise the auto's compact dimensions while at the same time accentuating its agility. The dynamic characteristics of the Alfa Romeo 4C are affirmed with a weight to strength ratio of less-than 4 kg/HP; it's really a value worth a 'supercar'.

This car fairly simply shouts Alfa.

In case these amounts attest to the excellent functionality and dynamic characteristics of the 4C, there's a single feature enduringly joined to each Alfa Romeo: simplicity in recognising some of the brand's versions through other senses. Not only is it eyecatching, but the sound of the engine has already been emphasised with low-frequencies and also the roar of the exhaust.

In exactly the same manner it's been analyzed with special interest paid to an enveloping seat layout so the automobile could be 'felt'. When loaded to obtain the crucial comments even in the most demanding braking scenarios the brake, for instance, could be modulated.

The annual access to the 4C Alfa Romeo to the important world markets is restricted to just 3,500 units - 1,000 units that are earmarked for Europe.

The 4C marks the start of Alfa Romeo's global development strategy that, in addition to future models, is supplied as a worldwide brand that competes within the center of the Superior market. This is the exact reason it's creating synergies with the Premium manufacturers of the Fiat-Chrysler Group, and Maserati in particular, which provides the power of its own history, its capability to innovate and its popularity all over the world.

Layout

Created by Alfa Romeo Centro Stile, the growth of the 4C's outside was characterised from the beginning by the requirement to improve the design of the automobile and also the technical features both from the dynamic and aerodynamic perspective. That is why, all of the fashion remedies adopted are optimised in accordance together with the greatest aim of the automobile: functionality.

The end result of the teamwork caused an automobile that communicates pure sports style by means of an union of attractiveness and technology, which is an important necessity for virtually any Alfa Romeo sports vehicle, where type is regularly first and foremost perform. Besides, every structural component is conceived for maximum dynamic performance, and to help make the down-force required to ensure maximum hold under quick cornering.

The back quantity, enveloping and sinuous, embraces and encloses the beating heart of the automobile: the engine and also the mechanics, observable through the rear-window. All of this, because of the growth of a noticeable musculature over the wheels, lends energy and strength to the back area.

The musculature supports its construction on spherical rear light clusters and in the side air intakes required to cool the air inlet and also the intercooler for engine consumption. This, with the two side intakes, types the famed 'Trefoil', a distinguishing characteristic of Alfa Romeo automobiles.

Even in the back, what first seems as an aspect of genuine images really serves a definite goal. Look at both lines alongside the number-plate holder: aesthetically, these produce two points of light that include dynamism and motion to the volume. Functionally, however, additionally they shield the cluster from pendular weight in case of rear impact.

The whole tail section - starting in the back upper profile and also the reduced profile characterised by a big "diffuser" with aerodynamic spoiler and air outlets - was put through extensive wind-tunnel testing to make sure the top possible aerodynamic performance.

Finally, the surface colour range reflects the spirit of the automobile and is important as the Alfa character needs: white, red, black and gray. However, particular focus is paid to technologies with the launch of threelayer colors. The by now consolidated and wellknown Competizione Red is the nature of the Alfa Romeo spirit with its glow, depth and iridescence that designs the volumes of the auto.

Tradition and future

The Alfa Romeo 4C instantly brings to mind a number of the conventional iconic models that have left a critical mark in the history of the Business name. Above all others, when it comes to dimensional and layout similarities, one sticks out particularly: the 33 Stradale of 1967, a vehicle that joined extreme mechanical and practical demands with the essential fashion which "clothed" the motor and chassis suitably with unmistakable Alfa Romeo remedies.

The exact same investigation for the bare necessities is put on creating one-of earth's lightestweight cars, the Alfa Romeo 4C. A down-right investigation for your perfect weight resulted in the formula to join 'lightness and efficacy' while investigating new remedies and substances, and of course scrupulous development work involving very complex technologies, in several instances via the superiority of F1 or the aviation sector.

Now these values - Technologies and Dynamism, Effectiveness & Lightness, Italian Design - take shape within the newest Alfa Romeo 4C, an uncompromising although available sports-car, a lusty and technological supercar that provides precision, agility and amazing functionality. In short, it's really a vehicle to drive and appreciate both in the track and in the street.

Inside

It's really a design theory at which various components - instruments, dash and seats - follow particular driver and passenger usability and comfort requirements.

Definition of the inside took on special relevance when configuring the carbon-fibre 'monocoque' mobile. This veritable 'monolithic core' generated a logical organisation of the primary building components consistent with the principle of integrating components and optimising weights. When industrialising the job initially concentrated on so they're turned toward the driver arranging controls and devices, this strategy really simplified building when it comes to separation and fabrication procedures into sub-assemblies.

The climate-control system ducts are incorporated with the whole dash block, which features a supporting 'technical spider' framework within the mould. Comprising a thermoformed shell-like those found on limited-edition supercars, the dash was created to make using capabilities easy and reaches its zenith within the notion of severe driver-inclination, because of electronic devices and gear-shift controls situated on the properly shaped tyre.

The cockpit, which potently suggests the world of motorbike racing and cars, includes all information required to control and generate the auto. All readings are observable in the instrument panel, including an initial digital display, including all the control functions for the Alfa Romeo supercar.

This proper building simplification when it comes to decreasing the amount of components and putting the different components in clear view fulfills the aim of concentrating the connection with all the auto's inside in the experience of driving. Userfriendly and proper relevance was given to placement the TCT transmission selector, activated by buttons to the tunnel console, the gear shift levers to the steering wheel, and also the DNA program selector for shifting the operating parameters of the motor and also the primary mechanical and electronics.

Regarding the collection of components, the Alfa Romeo 4C job is an ideal synthesis of the brand's values. It's really a mix of functionality and dynamism, sportiness and innovative technology, and modernity and convention. The lines, designs, materials and colours emphasise this want to take centre stage: the satisfaction of being an Alfa Romeo. As an augmentation of the internal and external skin, volumes and, where feasible, for an obvious framework, but the stuff isn't intended as a covering. The stuff is the very nature of the construction.

The aesthetic choices are derived from organic and technical materials, and not look, but material. The inside area is minimal and 'nude' in its treatments and finishes. The atmosphere is dark black, embellished entirely by a couple of metal details with the aluminium effect. The actual protagonist is carbon.

The seats, having a composite construction, ensure the feeling of the route the motorist gets, because of the chance of locating a great driving position while ensuring comfort even in regular use. Additionally, the internal 'asphalt kind', 3D and 'rough' grains phone the actual material to mind: contact with all the route. Lastly, the unit and foot-boards for passenger and driver are produced with aluminum, in this manner emphasizing its sports nature to the smallest detail.

Architecture

Driving enjoyment is the effect of carefully design.

The Alfa Romeo 4C has rear-wheel drive to make full utilization of the benefits afforded via this configuration. When engine energy throws weight to the back of the automobile, rear-wheel drive provides better grip under acceleration. Rear-wheel drive also enables you to enter curves at higher rates, delivering a much more extreme driving experience.

The aluminium motor is centrally-mounted.

Aerodynamics

Having described the 4C's architecture, Alfa Romeo engineers began to hunt for the most appropriate substances with this solution. Steel, aluminum, SMC and carbon-fibre were picked for their capability to combine efficacy and lightness. This report makes 4C 1 to the Alfa Romeo of the vehicles on earth.

After picking the components, the designers done all outside and internal flows of the vehicle, paying careful attention to each detail essential to reduce the formation of vortices and at the very similar time to make certain cooling of the engine compartment. Along with this particular layout of the back and reduced under-body air-intakes and over 200,000 hours of optimization within the wind tunnel as well as in the track were added. The outcome is really a Cx equivalent to 0.34, the top value among automobiles with negative lift.

The Alfa Romeo 4C attains optimum aerodynamic performance levels, promising a negative Cz which, as in racing vehicles, contributes towards achieving improved stability at higher speeds because of the negative lift.

Substances

The Alfa Romeo 4C comes from a clean sheet of paper and an idea. The clean sheet of paper was a necessity for the concept, growth and execution of the recent notion of the sports-car: the "affordable supercar". Actually, the 4C was created to be a fantasy which comes true for Alfa Romeo enthusiasts throughout the planet, but also to be not only an exclusive car when it comes to operation and content. So we needed to believe when it comes to low-production volumes - but still within the order of several thousand vehicles annually.

Therefore the clean sheet of paper, initially clear of design and creation restraints, became instantly enriched with new problems and new parameters. So they determined to take another course: reduce the auto's weight by selecting materials that blend lightness and efficacy, and enhancing - sometimes even making - production procedures that fuse high-technology and craftsmanship. It's a record which makes the 4C 1 of the vehicles on earth.

To reach this challenging target, tons of work was poured in the substances. They were selected because of their specific weights as well as for the mechanical, chemicalphysical and technological properties which best match the demands of operation and dynamic behaviour of the sports-car. And that is the exact reason the 895 kg of fat are largely formed of steel, aluminum, lightened SMC and carbon-fibre.

Carbon-fibre

The key of the lightness and dynamic behavior of the Alfa Romeo 4C lies in the hundreds of carbon fibre used, which signifies around 25% on the whole amount of the 4C. Nowadays carbon fibre is the stuff that ensures the greatest efficacy between weight and stiffness. It's a remedy adopted by the majority of complex super-cars. Actually, the monocoque weighs just 65 kg.

Alfa Romeo will be the only brand-able to-do that, and its own generation speed tops 1,000 pieces annually.

In this manner the monocoque achieved rates of reaction to dynamic and pressures behavior unimaginable with the adoption of other technologies and substances. The prepreg carbon fibres could be arranged within the ideal structural direction regarding the forces to reach a result which simply a metallic substance could give with superimposed levels, additional reinforcements and various thicknesses.

Moreover, polymerisation within the autoclave - 'cocura' in technical terms - enables box section constructions generally coming out of numerous parts (frequently of different substances) made and assembled in many periods to be created within a procedure. This is what occurs for the door pillar, by way of example. In the conventional steel version, it's composed of about 6 bits joined together and to the body in many periods of the generation process.

With the 'cocura' procedure, the door pillar is really a single item and the main supporting framework.

Actually, the carbon-fibre monocoque is really a single-piece - and therefore it responds to outside stresses with apparent advantages with regard to dynamic behavior.

2014 Alfa Romeo 4C in Detail

Aluminium

Using components with low specific weight and high torsional rigidity differentiates each of the structural parts of the Alfa Romeo 4C. As-is shown by using aluminum for the roof support cage and front and back beams. The composition of the production process and also the parts were changed within this instance too, to be able to lessen its weight and raise its rigidity. More particularly, the designers developed a brand new section for the traditional rectangular section that is replaced by the struts. They're also created utilizing the advanced 'Cobapress' procedure. This procedure unites the advantages of molding with those of aluminium alloy is further compressed by press forging, which to close any remaining porosity. All this lightens the element for the advantage of its own mechanical properties.

The constant wire with cold metal transfer procedure is employed for the welding. This leads to very accurate welding that doesn't distort the parts and ensures optimum filling of gaps.

Aluminum is also utilized within the kind of front brake discs, with cast-iron ring equipment and aluminium bell. That is technology patented by SHW and it ensures up-to 2 kg of decreased weight per enhanced braking and disk. Unique steel radial pins manage the difference in thermal expansion between aluminum and cast-iron and correctly transmit the movement.

It's a lowdensity, highresistance complex that offers a 20% weight-reduction compared to the conventional metal shell. The Alfa Romeo 4C will be the first regular production car with such a large percent of lowdensity SMC: at only 1.5 g/cm3 it is considerably lighter-than metal (~7.8 g/cm3) and aluminum (~2.7 g/cm3), along with becoming more malleable. This attribute allowed that independence when it comes to design as well as style essential to produce a genuine Alfa Romeo recognisable at first. It's likewise a secure substance which, as opposed to aluminium, doesn't deform in minor crashes, and is exceptionally resistant to atmospheric and chemical agents. Additionally, it disperses sound economically, raising acoustic comfort.

Lowdensity SMC also ensures critical functional integration between components, causing a decrease in procedures, elements and assembly time, consequently decreasing manufacturing costs.

PURRIM (injected polyurethane)

PURRIM (injected pu) was also picked for the mudguards and bumpers for the reasons mentioned. It's a light-weight substance (-20% when compared with steel) acceptable for making even extremely sophisticated style elements as a 4C mud guard.

Windows

Not an individual materials, including glass, was ignored so as to really get the cheapest possible weight. Within this particular instance, weight was lightened by really "slimming down" the shape. The windshield is only 4 mm. This is an excellent result, particularly if we consider its specially aerodynamic form which is hard to reach with this kind of thin sheet of glass.

Engine

Fitted out like this, the compact super-car registers especial outcomes both during pick-up when accelerating. This remarkable amount of functionality is reached with minimal effect to the surroundings.

Aluminum block and particular intake and exhaust systems

The Alfa Romeo 4C 240-hp direct-injection 1750 Turbo Petrol-engine implements particular intake and an innovative aluminium block and exhaust systems

that are optimised to accentuate the sports appeal of the automobile even farther. Additionally, it boasts cuttingedge technical solutions-including a ground-breaking scavenging control system that eliminates any turbo lag and direct-fuel injection, double continuous variable-valve timing setup, a turbocharger.

The Alfa Romeo 4C's complex 'scavenging' technologies maximises torque at low engine speeds and produces more energy in response to driver input. The control device determines valve overlap angles and times with outstanding precision to produce a throughflow of air in the inlet manifold to the exhaust manifold. By enhancing the scavenging of the combustion chamber, this direct circulation increases turbine speed and combustion efficiency and decreases turbolag.

Turbocharger

The turbine as well as the manifold are produced from metal and made to function at quite high temperatures (over 1000deg) - a prerequisite to reduced gas consumption on mediumhigh speed motorway journeys. The valve is just another useful device for motor performance. Turbo pressure is adjusted by this using control logic which changes to suit driving circumstances, minimising pumping losses.

AfterRun Pump

Like all best contest cars, the Alfa Romeo 4C utilizes an automatic cooldown system to shield its turbocharger. Switching off the motor would generally make the immediate stoppage of oil circulation, making the oil within the turbocharger to stagnate at quite high temperatures. The thermal pressure endured by the oil in this manner causes a lack of lubricating ability as well as results in the creation of deposits that may damage the engine. To keep this from happening, Alfa Romeo has launched an afterrun pump.

Gearbox

Power only could never produce the functioning of the Alfa Romeo 4C. An innovative transmission system is required to manage it.

A genuine point-of reference of the group because of its extreme speed and low-weight of actuation, the gears could be adjusted in consecutive mode utilizing the shift paddles located behind the steering-wheel. As the gear remains engaged, removing all discontinuity in power-transmission the next gear is chosen.

The Alfa TCT gearbox has-been optimised for your Alfa Romeo supercar. The 4C's particular clutch features allnew management applications that guarantees the quickest possible gear shifts under all circumstances. Gearshifts are somewhat more competitive within the sporting performance modes, and motorists can certainly feel the brand new equipment participating, as on the racing-car. On bends, in the flip side, gearshifts are finished in the smoothest way possible in order to avoid reducing equilibrium.

The Alfa Romeo 4C is additionally fitted with Launch-control for simple powerful standing begins.

Functionality

You examine it and you like it: broad tyres, low ride plus a wellbalanced competitive style. It's amazing. But that is not all. You hear the motor and it excites you with its complete and persuasive mechanical sound. Because that's what it's all about, and so there's nothing left to give your-self delight and time, engage first-gear and do except sit-down driving: becoming comfortable with direct controls instant answers.

Another thing that's crucial is maintaining the mass only possible. In a run across the course, it is crucial to ensure the wheels grip the terrain for so long so possible, that is to the transverse and longitudinal accelerations as well as the total advantage of road hold.

In case these concepts produce the exceptional dynamic characteristics of the 4C, there's a single feature enduringly joined to each Alfa Romeo: simplicity in recognising some of the brand's versions through other senses. So it's not just eyecatching, but the sound of the motor - which is emphasised with low-frequencies as well as the traditional roar of the exhaust - as well as the enveloping seat created therefore the motorist 'senses' the automobile also make its distinctive identification.

When loaded to obtain the crucial feedback even in the most demanding braking scenarios the brake, for instance, could be modulated.

Like all the latestgeneration Alfa Romeos, the 4C too is designed with the DNA selector. This product lets the driver change the auto's character to adjust it to the problems it's subjected to in the second.

Besides the three settings accessible up until now - Dynamic, Organic and All-weather - the apparatus constructed for your Alfa Romeo supercar has a fourth mode: 'Race', made to improve the driving experience on the monitor even farther.

Race is easily the most extreme functionality mode, and is engaged by transferring the mode selector to 'Dynamic' location and keeping it there for 5 seconds. Alfa Race style puts you in complete charge of your vehicle under race conditions. Within this scenario, ESC stability control stays inactive and only intervenes to ensure stability under brutal braking. ASR doesn't intervene either to the acceleration or braking, leaving you to really control grip via the accelerator pedal only. Alfa's Q2 electronic differential administration system, in the flip side, stays active, since it's crucial to allowing quick leaves from bends.

Efficiency changes using the 'Dynamic' manner, which configures the automobile to produce amazing driving efficiency. Motor control parameters are configured to react immediately to accelerator input as well as a rapid action program is selected by the Alfa TCT gearbox to lessen gear-shift times by up-to 25%. If drift angle and controls location could get the automobile in danger the ESC program allows a particular angle of drift and just intervenes.

Press the Alfa DNA selector to change to 'Natural' manner, created for regular use. The AutoUp function shifts up-to the next gear when engine speed approaches the acceptable limit, whilst the function shifts down once engine speed drops below 1000 rpm. Lastly, the Alfa Q2 differential functions in only cuts and manner in if one of the rear wheels endures a significant reduction of grip.

Finally, all you've got to do is change the selector to 'All Weather' mode to ensure optimum safety under adverse weather. With this particular setting the vehicle responds to accelerator input quite gently. The ASR program chooses brake control logic and particular motor and, in case of lack of grip, changes power to fit road speed and avoid skidding that may otherwise be hard to control.

Mechanics

Along with its complete efficiency, the managing of the Alfa Romeo 4C makes it-one of the kind. You can completely appreciate the vehicle in all scenarios, and not just during intense use to the monitor, because of its sense and ease-of driving at top levels. Self ventilated brake discs, activity suspensions, various diameter tyres and immediate steering: an advanced ride control system able to maintain weight down to a minimum is created for the 4C.

Sports suspension

Race-derived technical solutions are adopted by the suspension to produce unrivalled driving enjoyment and optimise operation. A superimposed wishbone method is utilized in the very front part of the Alfa Romeo 4C. The wishbones are secured directly in the monocoque and contain tubular control arms, a coaxial springshock absorber assembly and antiroll bar, productive and all lightweight.

A Sophisticated MacPherson geometry is adopted in the back to ensure brilliant road-holding and driving pleasure, even in the most severe manoeuvres. Within this manner both height from earth and fat are reduced, all for the advantage of precision and clasp, even at high rates.

Braking system

That is technology patented by SHW and it ensures up-to 2 kg of decreased weight per enhanced braking and disk. Unique steel radial pins manage the difference in thermal expansion between aluminum and cast-iron and correctly transmit the movement.

Various diameter tyres

The hunt for the best potential grip also resulted in the variety of various diameter tyres, 17"-18\" or 18"-19", bigger to the back to fill the demand for greater grip to the axle where the traction functions.

Steering

Steering with plasticised links ensures an immediate driving sensation for the motorist and leads to restricting the total weight of the automobile, as it's completely mechanical, consequently without power steering. The steering ratio (16.2) can also be such as to let 90% of bends to be studied without ever taking your hands-off the steering wheel.

Manufacturing

The 'testing' and 'completing' areas, in the flip side, are distributed to Maserati manufacturing. Here, the emphasis is definitely on excellent craftsmanship and technologies, a mix that causes the creation of cars which are genuinely unique in technical options and attention to detail.

'Gems' of engineering and styling such as the Quattroporte, Granturismo and Grancabrio came off these lines in only the past decade, as did the intriguing Alfa Romeo 8C much more lately. It was the very first time the Maserati plant opened its doors to a different brand, one especially related to Maserati in relation to aspiration and tradition.

Thinking about the current and previous history, it was natural the Fiat Team would turn to Modena for the conventional production of the Alfa Romeo 4C, also. It's a vehicle that beginning with its construction comes from the combination of the most meticulous attention and also the maximum technology that only man can ensure.

Here creation first of all blends as well as all the fire of the individuals, which shows itself in rigour and also the conviction to perform a great job.

The essential part played by human ability, as the abundance of craftsmanship and practical skills considered, becomes obvious at this stage. These individuals constitute a real elite of manufacturing experts who will perform actions requiring from 20 to 40 minutes and work with complete understanding even on 40 different stations. This implies they are completely rounded mechanisms who almost master the whole production flow.

The peculiarity of the operation is based on the templates used to provide the proper geometry to the passenger compartment cell. The joints are produced with hightech compound polymer components and are strengthened with mechanical joints.

Metrological space

Once the period is completed, the Alfa Romeo 4C body in white faces as much as quality assurance within the space. Daily several bodies as samples taken experience highly accurate measurement. Measurement points are checked more than 400 by the dedicated team to make sure the body is ideal about the dimensional and geometric level. No space is left for tolerance within this procedure: the measures must give compliant to results with the job.

Picture and Assemblage

The stage following a stage is picture. It's the sole procedure that's done away from Maserati plant. Actually before assembling the interior parts at station 1, the vehicle returns to the main structure by eliminating the currently picture 'skins', like the bonnet and doors, and also the structural parts, like the back beams and dome bar. It's just at this point that it's fixed to the rack.

The specialist experience of the operator is right at the center of the whole procedure in this place. That's the reason the work-station and the whole logistics system are assembled across the operators' activities. All of the parts needed to create the 4C arrive in the many stations within the correct amounts, in the correct area, and in the correct time. For instance, there aren't any useless or abnormal motions at station 2. Where procedures are performed at the appropriate height the automobile is lifted or turned to consistently provide the side. All of that is really a guarantee of quality while offering the opportunity to the folks to practise their manual dexterity in the perfect means.

Also procedures like window assembly, completed by robots elsewhere, get up to the attention and care of individuals. This too is an unique peculiarity of the 4C creation process. And that is not all. Most of the sub-assemblies of the auto - dash and lights, like - are assembled here in the factory, unlike what happens at other industrial sites where they arrive already preassembled from the providers. All of these are aspects that make a deep influence in the actual and perceived quality of the finished product.

Testing region, highway testing and completing

Testing is the sole period of the creation process because it's required to objectify the standard of functionality entrusted to technology. The systems rigorously assess each and every detail of the automobile, from functioning of the climate-control system for the setting of the dynamic behavior and mechanical parts.

All of the 4Cs created get a 40 - kilometer road test pushed through a specialist test driver, once they've passed the screening location. This is just another practice common of the very esteemed supercars. The group of test drivers is really a key point-of pride for the plant.

The manufacturing stream of the Alfa Romeo 4C nearly reaches where they experience the last setup operations before continuing to industrial logistics to really go on the industry, the end once the vehicles reach the Completing place.

Customisations

An 'crucial' version for 'driving purists' will probably be accessible in most marketplaces to exalt the driving experience to the maximum.

Mopar merchandising items and accessories

Mopar has created a great variety of accessories for your Alfa Romeo 4C that harmoniously blend together with the styling and technical attributes of the supercar. The optionals offered by Mopar within the aftermarket contain the carbon-fibre headlights, 18"-19\" bigger wheels, racing exhaust tailpipe or racing setup - including back antiroll bar and springs, shock-absorbers and front antiroll bar with special calibration - that could be matched with race tyres especially developed with Pirelli.

In addition, we get the pencil inspired by its own aggressive lines, designed entirely for the 4C and created with the same components utilized in the vehicle, including aluminum and carbon.

These services join the already wealthy 4C group that comprises various kinds of thing: these contain the more iconic, capable to convey the brand's picture and also the content of its own DNA to the complete, including the aluminium luge and also the carbon sunglasses. Then there are those developed with style and way of life in your mind, including the high-impermeability raincoat, the carbon-brushed sweatshirt with soft-shell inserts. The auto-shaped USB drive and also the autobon cover for iPhone or iPad, in the flip side, tend to be more geared towards enjoyment.

Authorised Alfa Treatment 4C Support Centres

Competent and trained employees, repair tools and specific analysis, plus high levels of support.

As are the regular care and repair procedures, the freephone number is available for offering practical and support information and for activating the road-side assistance furnished by the Authorised Centres. And it's exactly fixes on which the main new solutions focus.

The 4C is a 'special' vehicle that's the fruit of advanced technologies and substances that demand a targeted and extremely professional strategy, notably in the carbon-fibre monocoque, aluminium parts and SMC body.

More particularly, a particular Diagnostics Centre has-been made for the monocoque in Torino, which supports the 4C Support Centers in analysis and repair perform. The facility boasts the professional experience of the team of 'flying doctors' that may achieve the 4C to be fixed at each Service Centre of the EMEA region if needed, who analyse any harm the carbon fibre construction has endured using radiographic and resonance systems. In the event of little or moderate damage, they're equipped to make repairs on-site. If, in the flip side, the injury is severe, the doctors choose to substitute the monocoque in the Support Centre to which the client turned.

The Alfa Treatment 4C Support Centres will also be equipped to fix and replace aluminium beams. At length, a fixing system has been made for the beam, which is actually more complicated since it also houses the motor mountings to displace. Fix needs the damaged portions be replaced and cut, and the elements be sealed with the cold welding effect that is reproduced by special adhesives.

Service Centre technicians are further able to repair little or moderate damages of the SMC portions of your body with specific devices.

Interactive movie configurator

The brink of initiation in the area of on-line auto configurators is going even further forward in the occasion of the Alfa Romeo 4C's start. The site 4c.alfaromeo.com comprises an interactive movie configurator which lets users personalise their super-cars in a multimedia context full of feeling.

In particular, the whole procedure for configuring the 4C is exhibited within an interactive movie clip at which choices made by the customers - like shifting the color of the human body, choosing components like wheels and headlights, for instance - change the contents instantly without interrupting the movie. The automobile plays the starring role in the movie clip while offering users a 3-d and dynamic visual perception of these alternatives, while altering its appearance during performance.

Why is the Alfa Romeo 4C unlike most of the others is the existence of a real virtual management booth which lets users personalise their expertise and share it with their buddies. They could freely choose comprehensive video sheets to the auto's specs that enrich the video with arousing film-style cuts to show every configuration in to a personalised video edited together enjoys.

It's a global project created by Wedoo, the best digital company on the marketplace and in on-line configurator innovation. By combining interactive computer graphics, movie pictures and also the most advanced texture mapping and animation systems, an event of high visual and emotional effect has-been made for your Alfa Romeo 4C.
