Pogea
Racing Alfa Romeo 4C Centurion 1 Plus
With
a punchy 1,75-litre 4-cylinder turbo'd engine delivering 237 hp, the Alfa Romeo
4C is one of the most thrilling lightweight sports cars currently on the
market. However, that fact hasn't stopped a number of aftermarket tuners from
fettling with the car and the latest to do just that is Pogea Racing.
The
tuner revealed its first impressive take on the 4C back in late June and has
now announced a limited edition variant of that model, dubbed the 4C Centurion
1 Plus. Generally speaking, the 4C Centurion 1 Plus is the same as the original
4C Centurion introduced by Pogea Racing except for the fact that it will be
restricted to just 10 units.
The firm has managed to extract 314 hp and 336 lb-ft of torque from the
tiny turbocharged engine. While it hasn't been revealed just how those improved
figures have been achieved, Pogea Racing claims that the car can now accelerate
to 60 mph in a brisk 3.8 seconds as well as a 189 mph top speed.
Beyond
the engine changes, the 4C Centurion 1 Plus includes lowering springs as well
as a set of lightweight forged XCUT wheels in a staggered setup, 18-inch at the
front and 19-inch at the rear. They are then wrapped in 225/40 and 265/30 tyres
from Michelin.
Other
modifications to the car include a large rear wing producing 35 kg of downforce
at 160 km/h. Additionally, the dual-clutch transmission has been modified to
now change gears 55 per cent faster than typically. A bodykit made entirely
from carbon fibre helps complete the changes.
All
ten units of the Pogea Racing Alfa Romeo 4C Centurion 1 Plus will set buyers
back 79,950 euros.
