Full TFT display for Alfa Romeo 4C

MTA, a leader in electronic and electromechanical components for the OEM, today announces the collaboration with Alfa Romeo for the delivery of a full TFT display for the Alfa 4C, the new "pure2-seater" coupe with rear wheel drive and central engine.

The instrumentation that MTA developed for Alfa Romeo 4C has clear references to the racing world and is presented as a configurable 7" TFT, user-friendly and yet refined unit, with a sporty design to highlight the fiery character of the car. The large color display is encased in a stylish plastic mask (which can be in carbon fiber on demand) and uses the most powerful graphics processor, which is capable of handling sophisticated 2/3D graphics, lending the product even more character.
The dashboard has been designed to adapt to the 4 different personalities of the car which can be set using the Alfa DNA device: Dynamic, Natural and All Weather plus the brand new Race position, developed specifically for the 4C.
Depending on the currently selected set-up, the satin-finish background of the dashboard changes color, and the size of the displayed data in the central section also changes.
When the car is in Natural mode, we find the date and speed, while the engine revs are displayed along the central trim. On the opposite side, we find the fuel indicator and water temperature. Moving on to the Dynamic mode, instead of the date we find two bargraph indicators for the turbo pressure and the engine oil temperature. The back ground is yellow in Race mode and the central section shows an accelerometer, similar to the ones used in all major sports competitions, with a dot that moves along a Cartesian xy graph, to show the frontal and lateral acceleration of the car. In All Weather mode the background is blue with indication of the date, similar to the Natural mode settings.
The central part of the dashboard, in all modes, houses the warning indicators that light up to indicate various types of messages to the driver. On the left and right side,there are 14 warning lights for the main car components (airbags, lights, ABS,turn indicators, etc.). This new-generation display developed by MTA can be accessed using buttons positioned in the car: 3 keys to scroll the menu, where you can set the language and units of measurement, such as the speed in kilometers per hour or miles per hour depending on the country of use, and the language. A fourth button allows you to scroll through the trip computer whereyou can store trips and compare travel statistics on fuel consumption and muchmore.
