- The Stellantis Heritage division announced a trio of special Alfa Romeo 4C units, available for sale.
- The 4C Collezione GT “Nicola Larini” feature unique liveries and the signature of a DTM champion.
- They will be based on pre-existing units of the 4C, as part of the “Reloaded by Creators” program.
It seems Stellantis Heritage has a soft spot for the discontinued Alfa Romeo 4C sports car. Hot on the heels of the one-off 4C Unica, part of their exclusive “Designers-Cut” series, the division has now unveiled three new Alfa 4C Collezione GT “Nicola Larini” editions. These special models are inspired by motorsport and emblazoned with the signature of a DTM champion.
In line with the rest of the “Reloaded by Creators” series, these cars aren’t fresh off the production line but based on pre-existing Alfa Romeo 4C units. As their name suggests, they pay homage to racing driver Nicola Larini, who clinched the DTM championship title in 1993 behind the wheel of the Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI. Larini himself played a key role in designing these cars, collaborating closely with the Alfa Romeo Centro Stile team and Stellantis Heritage to create the custom spec models.

The renderings showcase three distinct liveries—Pine Green, Plum Red, and Ochre Yellow—that harken back to the classic hues of the 1970s Giulia GT. According to Alfa Romeo Design Project Manager Alessandro Maccolini, who originally designed the 4C, these shades have been “slightly revisited to make them more compatible with the 4C’s body”.
More importantly, all three cars feature white front and rear bumpers, with a matching Alfa Romeo emblem graphic on the hood. The wheels are finished in the body color, with Larini’s signature featured on the hood and the dashboard. Following Larini’s input, the interiors are clad in black microfiber to minimize glare, with color accents that echo the exterior paint, delivering a cohesive, race-inspired aesthetic.

The reborn 4C units won’t have any chassis or performance modifications, retaining the original carbon fiber monocoque and the turbocharged 1.75-liter four-cylinder engine which is good for 237 hp (176 kW / 240 PS). Alfa Romeo’s mid-engined sportscar remained in production between 2013 and 2020, when it was discontinued without a direct successor.
Nicola Larini expressed his admiration for the Alfa Romeo 4C, stating: “I’ve never driven such an easy car to manage at high speeds, which is the most important thing when dealing with powerful vehicles. I think that the 4C will forever remain in the hearts of car enthusiasts and, especially, new owners of the new collection which bears my name. I hope they enjoy the very best sporty driving experience.”
The trio of Alfa Romeo 4C Collezione GT “Nicola Larini” units are available to order at an undisclosed price, targeting collectors. Each model will be “produced, certified, and sold directly by the Stellantis Heritage department,” adding an extra layer of exclusivity to this rare release.
