Colotti Trasmissioni
A passion that has continued since 1958.
Colotti Trasmissioni is a company that has been manufacturing differentials, transmissions and related mechatronic components for motor vehicles for more than 60 years.
Constant study has definitely been the key to the company’s success. Collaboration with major Italian car manufacturers, dedication, humanity and seriousness have ensured that Valerio Colotti’s passion has been passed on from generation to generation, right up to the present day.
A passion that has lasted more than 60 years
The history of Colotti Trasmissioni began in 1958 when Valerio Colotti founded “Tec-Mec,” the result of experience in suspension, steering, brakes, chassis, differential gearboxes design within two of Italy’s automotive giants, Ferrari and Maserati.
Shortly after the company’s inception, Tec-Mec began working with Alf Francis, chief mechanic of Rob Walker’s racing stable; the name of the business was then changed to “Colotti-Francis.” Toward the end of the 1960s, however, the name changed again, the last one to date, and “Colotti Trasmissioni” was born.
The founder
The company’s founder, Valerio Colotti, also counted by the Enzo Ferrari Museum among the people who have contributed to the History of Automobilism, was an Italian designer specializing in the world of engines.
Throughout his career he linked his name to two brands in particular: Ferrari and Maserati, for which he designed chassis and transmissions.
The company today
The differentials patented by the company, manage to satisfy the most diverse categories such as those engaged in: rally-cross, slalom, uphill and off-road racing. The company also specializes to this day in rebuilding gearboxes, and transmissions in general for historic cars. A history of passion and commitment that has been passed down from father to son and today continues to be a point of reference within the industry.
