The “Collezione GT Nicola Larini” series sees three special Alfa Romeo 4C Coupes transformed with design cues inspired by Larini’s 1993 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters triumph in an Alfa 155 V6 Ti DTM. These are part of Stellantis’ “Reloaded by Creators” series, which upcycles existing vehicles rather than producing new models, blending heritage with a contemporary touch.

Each of the three cars wears a distinct colour scheme – Pine Green, Plum Red, and Ochre Yellow – shades that evoke the classic Alfa Romeo Giulia GT, a model celebrated for its racing pedigree. These liveries include Alfa’s emblem prominently on the bonnet, alongside white front and rear bumpers, echoing the style of the 1970s Giulia GT. The wheels are finished in the body colour and feature matching accents, adding a touch of refinement and cohesion to each car’s distinctive look. Larini’s signature graces the bonnet, as a nod to his role in shaping this exclusive project.

Inside, the interiors take on a racing aesthetic, guided by Larini’s input. The cabins feature black microfiber upholstery to reduce glare, with accent colours that mirror the exterior shades, emphasizing each car’s unique character. Larini’s signature also appears on the dashboard, enhancing the personalised appeal.

Despite their cosmetic transformations, these cars retain the original Alfa Romeo 4C’s impressive structural and mechanical setup. The carbon fibre monocoque remains intact, as does the turbocharged 1.75-litre four-cylinder engine, producing a spirited 176 kW. This configuration maintains the model’s authentic driving dynamics, which were key to the 4C’s popularity from its launch in 2013 until production ceased in 2020.

Speaking on the reimagined 4C series, Larini praised the model’s balance and handling, describing it as “an easy car to manage at high speeds,” and added that he hopes the limited-edition 4Cs will deliver an engaging, sporty experience to their future owners. These reborn Alfa Romeo 4Cs are now available for collectors, though pricing remains undisclosed. Each car in the “Collezione GT Nicola Larini” series will be produced, certified, and sold directly by Stellantis Heritage, further elevating their appeal to Alfa enthusiasts.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
