Alfa Romeo 4C Collezione GT “Nicola Larini”

Larini praises the Alfa Romeo 4C

The Alfa Romeo 4C debuted in 2014 and was produced until 2020. Nicola Larini, who counts this mid-engine sports car as one of his favorites, has built three special examples.

Stellantis Heritage, which produces historic models for Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Lancia, and Abarth, has announced the Alfa Romeo 4C Collezione GT Nicola Larini project, a tribute to Italian racing driver Nicola Larini.

The project was revealed in a special video posted on Stellantis Heritage’s official YouTube channel by Alessandro Ravera, Stellantis Heritage’s Special Vehicle Operations Manager, Alessandro Maccolini, the designer of the 4C, and Larini himself.

The “Alfa Romeo 4C Collezione GT Nicola Larini” is based on the mid-engine sports car “Alfa Romeo 4C” manufactured from 2014 to 2020 and is available in three unique specifications. The 4C is equipped with a 1.75-liter inline 4-cylinder gasoline direct injection turbo engine mounted in the rear mid. The creation of this tribute model was made possible by Larini’s own high opinion of the 4C.

In the video, Larini points out that “the speed, responsiveness, grip and lightness that satisfy even professional drivers are unmatched by any other model.”

“My thoughts about the Alfa Romeo 4C are endless. Having had the opportunity to drive it and fully understand it on a test track like Barocco, I can confidently say that it is the best car ever. Pushing it to its limits really made me realise that, although it is a road-going model, it is also designed for circuit use.”

“You can’t really understand how safe the Alfa Romeo 4C is until you drive it to its limits. And despite being mid-engine, it offers ample comfort. It’s a sports car that prioritizes high speeds, but it’s also incredibly easy to drive. It’s a car that will forever be engraved in the hearts of car enthusiasts, and I hope that the new owner of this new collection, especially the one that bears my name, will do the same.”

Giulia GT-inspired coloring

The Giulia GT recreates the livery of the Alfa Romeo 4C Collezione GT Nicola Larini. — The Alfa Romeo 4C Collezione GT Nicola Larini comes in three colors inspired by the original colors of the Giulia GT, with the front and rear bumpers painted white.

Born in Tuscany, Italy on March 19, 1963, Nicola Larini competed in F1 with Ligier and Ferrari. In 1993, he moved to the German Touring Car Masters (DTM), where he won 10 races and became the champion, driving an Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI.

The bond between Alfa Romeo and Larini is also fully utilized in the “4C Collezione GT Nicola Larini” project, with Larini choosing the three vibrant exterior colors of “ROSSO PRUGNA,” “VERDE PINO,” and “GIALLO OCRA.”

The three colors are inspired by the original color of the Giulia GT, which was popular in the 1970s, and the front and rear bumpers are accented with white, reminiscent of the Giulia GT. The wheels are also matched to the main color. Larini’s autograph is engraved on the hood and dashboard.

The 4C Collezione GT Nicola Larini is produced, certified and sold by Stellatis Heritage, and is currently available to order from collectors and Alfa Romeo enthusiasts.
