Ciao everyone, here it's Marchettino and today let's spice up this 4C!
Probably you remember this 4C that doesn't go unnoticed at all,
I followed the Gumball with my friend's 4C and today I took him to ACME, a tuner near Desenzano del Garda as he decided
to make his Alfa Romeo 4C spicier and quicker.
A great positive side of this car is that being turbo, you just need to work with the electronics to unleash even more power and fun out this car.
The 4C is on the market since many years and it's a shame has never proposed upgrades and mods for this car so
I'm very curious to see how does the car changes by working on the electronics because this car is stock so let's see with a remap
how much power you can increase, as you can see the car is ready on the dyno
Matteo from ACME has already synchronized the car with the dyno and now we just have to make a dyno run to see the power
to find out how much more we can add!
Matteo is shy, so I pretend to be expert and let's see on the computer, after the dyno run we notice the peak of power was 265hp and 377nm.
The car is running on 100octane fuel the results are higher than what claimed by Alfa Romeo and I remind you the car is fully stock!
Here's why it has more power, it's because of the RedBull behind and I forgot, the car is wrapped so it's right to have extra power.
After several tests the new ECU software has been loaded on the 4C and now let's do more dyno runs.
There's lots of noise - the vents have been turned on - inside that room there's such noise you can't imagine!
I'm gonna stay comfy on this racing couch and wait for the result.
How pretty!
We took the car out the dyno and here's the numbers! We can notice
the increase at high rpms above 5500rpms, so does the power which is more steady and vigorous 'till the redline.
So here's the final numbers, 388nm and 302,5hp!
Impressive numbers for this tiny car and what to say, let's go for a drive to see how it goes!
Thoughts?
Cool, pretty cool!
Very technical thought!
It goes, it really goes especially above 3500rpms!
You start to feel it, the torque increase also.
Even from the passenger seat you feel this power increase especially at high revs where
above 5500-6000rpm you feel the dropdown of power.
I don't understand why over the years Alfa Romeo has never introduced an upgrade or facelift of this car because it's a great product!
Ok I confirm it goes!
It's a pocket rocket!
The 4C is a great sports car, it just needed that extra power to make it quicker and with this remap the target has been hit!
Absolutely, great job!
Like everyone say, the chassis of the 4C is amazing it can hold extra power, the grip is endless and with 300hp and a more torque it's perfect.
I trust the graphic, this 4C goes!
Listen to the turbo spool!
I need to come visit ACME both with the M3 and Abarth, after having seen them work on the 4C I need to come back!

And sadly, here comes another trip with the 4C!
