Well, that's a bit of artistic license. It is true that the same DCT was available on one model Dart. The engine is a sleeved version of the same powerplant as the Giulietta QV. The heater controls are from a Fiat Punto. The list goes on. It just seems that there's a fair bit of symbiosis going on here, as none of the above are a patch on the 4C. And the larger volume / alternate applications of these parts means that a replacement isn't going to cost Ferrari (or even Mercedes) money.
