Colotti's cooperation with Alf Francis lead to the widely used in competition Colotti-Francis gearbox systems. With Wolfgang von Trips he designed the Trips-Colotti-Auto Union (TCA). Colotti's company is now called Colotti Trasmissioni and is run by his son Marco after his brother Paolo (1956-2016) died. (en)

La vettura era basata sulla Maserati 250F, modello a cui lavorò Colotti durante la sua permanenza alla Casa del tridente. Ci fu una collaborazione con la (1959) e con Stirling Moss. Quest'ultimo ebbe diversi problemi con la sua Cooper T51, preparata da Colotti, per problemi al cambio. La cooperazione di Colotti con Alf Francis portò ai sistemi Colotti-Francis. Con Wolfgang von Trips progettò la Trips-Colotti-Auto Union (TCA), e più tardi le loro trasmissioni furono utilizzate nel 1967 sull'Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale. e nei primo anni '70 sulle Fiat 124 Abarth Rally ufficiali. La compagnia è oggi conosciuta come “Colotti Trasmissioni” ed è guidata dai figli di Colotti, Marco e Paolo. (it)
