These details are enough to make it clear that this is an exceptional car. Unique as Nicola Larini and the great Tazio Nuvolari, who silenced the Germans in their hunting ground.

ALFA ROMEO + TAZIO NUVOLARI + NICOLA LARINI: THE HISTORY
It was July 28, 1935, when The Flying Mantuan on a red Alfa Romeo (Type B - P3) upset Auto Union and Mercedes-Benz's plans, particularly those of Manfred von Brauchitsch during the last lap of the Nürburgring circuit when he saw his victory move away.

More than fifty years later, again, a red Alfa Romeo, this time driven by Nicola Larini, blows up the Mercedes team's projects and those of Klaus Ludwig, "The King of the Ring". A few days before the race on June 10, 1993, Ludwig declared that the Tuscan pilot's lack of knowledge of the Nordschleife would not bring good results.
So, what happened in the end? Pole and victory in both races by Larini in the 155 V6 TI.
Not only: after the season, there were 12 victories and several podiums and placings, Larini won the Drivers' title and the Manufacturers' title took the road to Arese.

ALFA ROMEO 155 V6 DTM: THIS CAR
The sporty features of this 155 V6 make it a remarkable specimen. The engine could be removed and changed in less than 25 minutes. A record time even for the rear axle fixed with just six bolts. The braking system is equipped with Brembo 4-piston pumps both at the front and at the rear. The car also comes with power steering, three differentials, Magneti Marelli electronic control, six-speed H-shifting gearbox and suspensions like the Formula 1.

At the time, for each victory, it was customary affixing to the door a small sticker showing the image of the "Biscione", and the car we offer has 10 of them. With an undisputed authenticity, this car retains all original details and a unique patina for a racing vehicle such as the 155 DTM. Starting from the rollbar sticker dated March 1993, the plaque on the tank and the seat belts, the numbers on the engine and the main components. Finally, the punching signed "Settimo", referring to Settimo Milanese, the glorious headquarters of Autodelta and Alfa Romeo Racing Department.
