At the 2015 Dubai International Motor Show, Garage Italia Customs has unveiled the “La Furiosa”, a 4C one-off created for Alfa Romeo.
The La Furiosa looks breathtaking with its black carbon fibre roof, which allows a half-view of the weave, gradually fades to “Accursio” red with “Velvet Touch” finishing. The gradient shading continues on the rear cover of the engine, giving the car’s silhouette powerful chromatic harmony. The same shading is found on the brake calipers, where the white Alfa Romeo writing stands out.
For the carbon components which characterise the 4C – like the front light units, the air vents and lateral mirrors – the Garage team has instead chosen a candy red colour. It is said to have been virtuously applied in order to leave the peculiar weave of this ultralight material in view, so giving the car a more uniform look.
Meanwhile, the cabin has been completely upholstered in red Alcantara which includes the dashboard, centre console and door panels. Black Alcantara adorns the seat covers, with contrasting backing and red sides. The two-coloured chromatic match is also found on the steering wheel, which is upholstered with contrasting seams.
The manufacturing of the pillars is also very particular. A special toned-down Alcantara has been applied here. It was obtained through digital printing, resulting in the same gradient effect of the bodywork painting. The headliner is in black Alcantara.
The special edition model was made for Alfa Romeo by the customizing company started by Lapo Elkann. The eccentric brother of FiatChrysler chairman John Elkann is himself an heir to the Agnelli empire, and has played a variety of roles in the company – including brand promotion and the creation of the Gucci edition Fiat Cinquecento. Alongside fashion house Italia Independent, Lapo founded Garage Italia Customs to apply his unique sense of style and that of his team to models like the Fiat 500, Jeep Renegade, and Maserati Ghibli.
