Alfa Romeo has chosen to slowly get rid of their petrol-engined line-up entirely in anticipation of several European markets banning internal-combustion cars in the near future. After a raft of special-edition versions of the Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio models, two more have been introduced, dubbed the Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio Super Sport editions.
Alfa Romeo is a brand that is known to make some pretty cars. Zagato, the legendary Italian coachbuilder, shares the same reputation. So what happens when these firms with a keen eye for design get together? The answer is this, the Alfa Romeo Giulia SWB Zagato coupe.
Alfa Romeo’s venture into the SUV segment was confined to their lone offering, the Stelvio. Now, they add a new member to this family, slotting under it. 2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale is the Italian brand’s attempt to crack into the compact side of things, with their first-ever electrified powertrain.
GTA (Grand Turismo Alleggerita) is an iconic nameplate for Alfa Romeo. This name adorned the legendary Giulia GTA from 1965, a car that has won hundreds of victories for Alfa back in its glory days. And now when Alfa Romeo recognised the interest in something crazier than the current Giulia Quadrifoglio, if only to lift sales of the slow-selling sedan, Alfa turned its history pages to resurrect the GTA once again. Hence the new Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA and GTAm debuted earlier this month, just before the COVID-19 crisis turned into a pandemic and forced Alfa Romeo and several other carmakers to start shutting down production in Italy as well as in many other countries in Europe over the past week.
With Ferraris, Alfas and even some Japanese brands, the month of March had seen a decent number of recalls.
On invitation from Alfa Romeo, we visited the Museo Storico Alfa Romeo museum in Arese near Milan, Italy. Check out concepts, prototypes, sports cars and race cars from a brand that is now more than a hundred years old and has been witnessing a resurgence.
Alfa Romeo’s female-focused SUV, the Stelvio, was introduced with all-wheel-drive as standard across its range. But now as it moves into another year of production, the 2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio is now offered in a RWD variant that helps the SUV become cheaper and lighter than before.
Alfa Romeo, Fiat-Chrysler’s second-tier luxury brand that’s in comeback mode, dropped a bomb when their new rear-wheel-drive Giulia Quadrofoglio became the quickest sedan to lap the ‘Ring (at least at the time). While the hype from that 2015 run has faded, we finally got our hands on it to see if this car will save Alfa.
One of Alfa Romeo’s latest creations, the Giulia sedan, has been the talk of the town as the Giulia Quadrifoglio became the fastest sedan to lap the Nurburgring, beating Porsche’s Panamera Turbo a year ago. The 7:32-minute run achieved by the hot Alfa directed the automotive world’s attention towards the Giulia range. People soon found out that there exists a huge gap between the 276 hp model (known as Veloce in Europe and Super in America) and the 505 hp Quadrifoglio. Rumours now suggest that Alfa is working on a 350 hp Giulia to fill this gap up.
The Alfa Romeo Stelvio, the Italian company’s first ever SUV is finally here! The all-new premium compact luxury SUV was unveiled to the general public at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show on Wednesday.
