Product Description

Alfa Romeo have Formula One heritage dating back to the very inception of the F1 World Championship. The Italian automotive giants won the first ever F1 World Championship in history with the 158 and this is the C43 - there last ever F1 car. 

The manufacturers have a long and impressive history in and out of F1. The iconic sports car brand is renowned for its sleek and sexy Italian design.  

This Italian Grand Prix livery on the C43 was the very epitome of their design.    The C43 will pay tribute to the launch of Alfa Romeo's fuoriserie car - the 33 Stradale. 

The original 33 Stradale was built in 1968 to show off the manufacturers racing pedigree. In 2023 Alfa Romeo released an updated 33 Stradale - a limited-edition supercar for only the keenest of collectors.

The hefty price tag didn't seem to put off customers as all 33 editions were sold almost instantaneously.  

About the Livery 

The C43 paint scheme features the one-off design that Valtteri Bottas' and Zhou Guanyu's cars displayed at the 2023 Italian Grand Prix.

Developed by the team, this special livery is just one of the designs they have developed to tell the story of their journey to become an icon on the grid, as a team that embodies their Italian heritage.  

Developed with the team's Centro Stile, the C43's Monza livery combines classic with modern and is described by the team as "...a design that makes no compromises, and that doesn't sacrifice class in its pursuit of the eye-catching." 

The one-off livery was unveiled by the team drivers during a special event at the Alfa Romeo Museum in Arese, near Milan, to mark the launch of the new 33 Stradale. 

Manufacturing the show car 

The chassis and bodywork is constructed from high performance, lightweight pre preg Carbon Fibre and are designed to represent the real car with excellent surface finish whilst being durable and able to take the load exerted through the 4 axles. 
 

The showcar is built from start to finish in-house at the F1 Authentics HQ in motorsport valley.

The moulds are custom made specifically for the 2023 Alfa Romeo C43 using CAD data from the team themselves.

With these moulds, carbon-fibre pieces are laid out ot create each piece of bodywork. The bodywork is then painted in house at F1 Authentics in our specialised paint booths before heading over to the race bay to be built by our team of former F1 mechanics.  
 


The car comes fitted with electronic features, including a fully wired steering wheel with a working screen and working rain lights that has been engineered by us.

The steering wheel is fully connected to the front wheels via the steering rack enabling the wheels to turn left or right.  

The car can be lifted by the front and rear and the nose and front wing assembly can be removed for transport purposes, as can the wheels for pit stop practice.
