In 2018, the heritage division at Fiat Chrysler America launched a challenge referred to as “Reloaded by Creators.” It began with FCA Heritage restoring and promoting a variety of treasured and classic Italian fashions just like the Alfa Spider IV and Lancia Fulvia introduced again to new situation by the in-house manufacturers. When Stellantis took over FCA, Stellantis’ Heritage Division took over the initiative and expanded the challenge with one-offs just like the Abarth Classiche 1000 SP tribute constructed on the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider. The classics heads are at it once more with this, the 4C Designer’s Reduce challenge. Deliberate as a tenth anniversary celebration of the Alfa Romeo 4C coupe, the Designer’s Reduce will create a one-off tribute to some side of Alfa Romeo historical past that may also “pay tribute to genuine Italian fashion and driving pleasure embodied by the unique 4C.” Alessandro Maccolini, who designed the 4C and stays a part of the Alfa Romeo Type Heart as a design supervisor, is heading the hassle.
He is provide you with three aesthetic proposals to this point. The primary is the 4C Tributo, a crimson purple take that takes straight intention at one of many peaks within the classic Alfa Romeo catalog, the Tipo 33 Stradale.
The second is the 4C Corsa, a race-inspired model in matte grey “to intensify the muscular form and performance-oriented technical options,” on black wheels.
Lastly, the 4C Leggenda. Executed up in mild blue over white wheels, the sporty inspiration is the 1750 GT Veloce, the historic inspiration is colours that echo hues in Milan’s crest of Biscione, a characteristic in Alfa Romeo’s emblem.
The automaker desires suggestions from fans about which one to decide on and which path to take.
It is not clear but if Alfa Romeo plans modifications to the powertrain. The Abarth Classiche 1000 SP tribute did not alter the mechanicals, sticking with the 4C’s 1,742-cc turbocharged four-cylinder making 240 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. It’s clear that Alfa plans to promote this one-off, highlighting its desirability to “passionate collectors.” The curious are inspired to e-mail Stellantis Heritage now. The Abarth 1000 SP continues to be obtainable to buy, as are a 1958 Abarth 500 tribute that is based mostly on a 1970 Fiat 500. Have your cash prepared.
