    After it was axed in 2020, three final examples of the Alfa Romeo 4C are set to be sold to customers, each commemorating the success of 1993 DTM Champion Nicola Larini and inspired by the brand's iconic racing liveries.

    Since the 4C is no longer in production, these cars are being offered by Stellantis Heritage, rather than Alfa itself. However, these won't be three brand-new cars, but rather preexisting examples modified to spec.

    Officially dubbed the 4C Collezione GT “Nicola Larini”, its namesake was involved first-hand in the design process.

    Inspired by the liveries worn by the 1970s Giulia GT, three colours are on offer: Pine Green, Plum Red, and Ochre Yellow, each accented by white front and rear bumpers and body-coloured wheels.

    The body colour is also reflected in the interior trimming, with the signature of Larini, who won that DTM Championship in an Alfa 155 V6 TI, to be found on the dashboard.

    The timing of this project coincides with Larini driving in the 1000 Miglia 2024 on behalf of Alfa Romeo, which will see him behind the wheel of a 1900 Sport Spider made in 1954.

    This isn't the first time preexisting 4C examples have been modified by Stellantis Heritage, following a re-bodied Abarth OT 1300 tribute revealed earlier this year and the similar Abarth Classiche 1000 SP convertible from 2021.

    No pricing has been disclosed by Stellantis for this tribute to Alfa's motorsport heritage, although it's unlikely to be cheap.
