Alfa Romeo's Alfa D.N.A. System Challenges Elite Athlete on Road and Ice
Alfa Romeo's renowned Alfa D.N.A driving mode selector features across the entire 2014 Alfa Romeo range as standard, regardless of engine or trim level. The 2014 Alfa MiTo and 2014 Alfa Giulietta will feature the driving mode selector with three distinctive settings - 'Dynamic', 'Natural' and 'All-Weather'- while the Alfa Romeo 4C supercar has an additional fourth setting specifically for track driving: 'Race Mode'. The Alfa D.N.A. system lets drivers manually select from one of several different driving modes depending on the road conditions: ‘Dynamic’, ‘Natural’ and ‘All-Weather’, as well as ‘Race’ in the Alfa Romeo 4C. Once a mode is selected, Alfa D.N.A. then automatically adjusts settings for throttle response, power delivery, power steering assistance, VDC stability control and braking Pre-Fill. Where fitted, ALFA TCT gear-changes and adaptive suspension settings are also adjusted.
To mark the range update, Alfa Romeo teamed up with one of the world’s elite parkour athletes, Ronnie Shalvis, to put the Alfa D.N.A. system to the ultimate agility test. In the sequence, Ronnie takes on both Alfa MiTo and Alfa Giulietta in the ultimate urban playground, pitting man against machine on both road and ice surfaces to see who has the greater control of their environment.
Ronnie Shalvis commented: “With parkour, you have to adapt to varying and challenging environments, whilst remaining agile and dynamic. If you fail to respond to a situation or mistime a move, it could result in serious injury. When everything works together, though, and you nail those difficult manoeuvres, it’s an amazing feeling! Making the film with Alfa Romeo was a fantastic experience and I think it really demonstrates how having that control of your environment lets you stay safe but also have a lot of fun."
