To celebrate the unbreakable bond between the global brand Alfa Romeo and Nicola Larini, the 1993 DTM champion with the Alfa 155 V6 TI, the Heritage department of Stellantis (Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Lancia, and Abarth) conceived and developed the 4C – Collezione GT “Nicola Larini” project, which will bring to life three unique and spectacular examples based on the supercar that brought the Biscione brand back to the United States in 2014.
Created under Stellantis Heritage’s “Reloaded by Creators” program, the three exclusive 4C “Nicola Larini” models are the result of transforming existing automobiles. In this specific case, a decisive role is played by the three attractive paint jobs, one for each car, which the Tuscan driver selected in collaboration with Stellantis Heritage and the Alfa Romeo Style Centre, paying tribute to the traditional boldness of the Italian brand in choosing distinctive colors with strong personalities.
In fact, inspired by the original paintings of the iconic 1960s Giulia GT, the three color shades chosen for the 4C – “Nicola Larini” GT Collection are Pine Green, Plum Red, and Ochre Yellow, all accentuated by white inserts placed on the sides, front and rear tail.
These three special units of the 4C have not undergone any changes in terms of engine or chassis, maintaining the carbon fiber monocoque and the original 4-cylinder direct injection engine with an aluminum sump that, with a displacement of 1750 cm³, produces a power output of 240 hp and is combined with the “Alfa TCT” dry dual-clutch automatic transmission.
Thanks to its low weight of 895 kg and the power of the engine, this 4C is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds and reaching a top speed of over 250 km/h.
“I have never experienced a car that is so easy to drive at high speeds, and that is the most important thing when it comes to high-performance cars. I believe the 4C will remain in the hearts of all enthusiasts and, above all, of the new owners of the new collection that bears my name, which I hope they enjoy as a top-level sports driving experience”, said Nicola Larini at the presentation of these new Alfa Romeo 4Cs.
Stellantis Heritage has already announced that each of these models will be sold, although the price has not been revealed.
