Alfa Romeo 4C

The Alfa Romeo 4C is a sports car by Alfa Romeo which appears in the Asphalt series.

Overview
The Alfa Romeo 4C is a two-seater, rear-wheel drive coupé with technology and materials derived from the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, with 1750 turbo petrol engine with direct injection, the "Alfa TCT" twin dry clutch transmission, the Alfa DNA dynamic control selector. The concept vehicle was unveiled at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. Compared to the production version, it's very similar, with the biggest differences being front lights, side vents and mirrors.

The production car was unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, followed by 2013 Essen 'Techno Classica', Goodwood Festival of Speed 2013, Moscow Raceway and the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.

Production of the 4C began May 2013 at Maserati's plant in Modena, with an expected production of up to 2500 units per year.

The car was designed by Centro Stile Alfa Romeo (Style Centre) and developed by Alfa Romeo. The chassis is composed of a central carbon fiber tub, with aluminium subframes front and rear. The carbon fiber tub is produced by TTA (Tecno Tessile Adler) in Airola, as a joint venture between Adler Plastic and Lavorazione Materiali Compositi. The carbon fiber components that make up the chassis are cut using CNC technology.

The chassis of the car weighs 65 kilograms (143 lb) (Spider's chassis weights 107 kilograms (236 lb)) and is a single carbon fiber body, similar to the body of many supercars. The outer body is made of a composite material (SMC for Sheet Moulding Compound) which is 20% lighter than steel. The stability is comparable to steel and better than aluminium.

The 4C employs double wishbone suspensions at the front and MacPherson struts at the rear.[34] The resultant weight distribution is 38% on the front and 62% on the rear axle. To save weight and increase steering feel, the 4C has no power steering. It's center of gravity height is 40cm; lower than the Lotus Elise.

The 4C uses a new all-aluminium 1.75 L (1,742 cc) 240 horsepower (180 kW) at 6000 rpm inline 4 cylinder turbocharged engine. The engine has been designed for minimum weight. The engine's CO2 emissions are 157 g/km and combined fuel consumption 6.8 L/100 km (42 mpg-imp; 35 mpg-US). 0–62 miles per hour (0–100 km/h) acceleration is achieved in 4.5 seconds and the top speed is 258 km/h (160 mph), the power-to-weight-ratio being just 0.33 hp/kg (8.22 lb/hp). In race mode, with left foot on the brake pedal, if you pull the right shift paddle the engine will rev to 3500 rpm, but if you also pull the left paddle the engine will rev to 6000 rpm and 0–100 kilometres per hour (0–62 mph) time will go down to 4.2 seconds.

The 4C is equipped with a six speed Alfa TCT Dual Dry Clutch Transmission, and can be operated via gearshift paddles on the steering wheel. It also has an Alfa 'DNA' dynamic control selector which controls the behavior of engine, brakes, throttle response, suspension and gearbox. In addition to the modes already seen in Giulietta, the 4C has a new "Race" mode.

Asphalt 8: Airborne
The Alfa Romeo 4C appears in the Monkey's Year Update as a top D Class car. It has a starting rank of 936 (currently the second highest in D Class, 43 points lower than the nanoFlowcell QUANTINO), a MAX rank of 1200 (the third highest in D Class) and a final rank of 1358 (currently one of the highest in Class D, 4 points higher than the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X and Subaru Impreza WRX STI but not as high as the Donkervoort D8 GTO and Mazda RX-8), gaining a tuning kit bonus of 54. While the 4C doesn't accelerate rather quick as with the Impreza or Honda S2000, it has a long nitro boost aided with good handling abilities. As such, the 4C is quite competitive with the S2000. While being the second best Alfa Romeo in the game, it is much more recommended for Multiplayer.

As of now, the Mazda RX-8 supersedes all the aforementioned cars.

The Alfa Romeo 4C costs when released for a limited time, and  to max out, and it requires 12 I4 cards in its pro kit formulas.
