The Manhart QV 600 is what happens when brilliant German minds clash with Italian soul and artistry. Without question, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is an excellent sports sedan, and the Giulia GTA and GTAm are not bad, either. But then again, the Manhart QV 600 is a more hardcore interpretation of the Giulia QV, and it starts with a thing that matters most: having tons of power.
More than a year after debuting a souped-up version of the Giulia Quadrifoglio called the Giulia GTA and GTAm, Italian automaker Alfa Romeo has announced that it sold out all 500 units of its anniversary-edition car. If you remember, Alfa Romeo celebrated its 110th birthday last 2020. Debuting the Giulia GTA and GTAm were, of course, part of the festivities.
Decades ago, the Abarth name was more than a high-end trim level on some Fiat cars. In the 1950s and 1960s, Abarth was the name on some of the winningest racing cars in Europe that ran using various engines from Alfa Romeo, Fiat, and Porsche. Those engines were crammed under the hoods of vehicles using lightweight hand-formed body panels.
This week Fiat Chrysler Automobiles confirmed that it intended to refurbish a Poland plant, where it will build new models for the Jeep, Fiat, and Alfa Romeo brands. The vehicles built there will include hybrid and all-electric vehicles. While FCA has confirmed the factory's investment, it's unclear if vehicles built there will be for Europe alone or if they will be sold outside of Europe.
Alfa Romeo has announced its lineup for the 2021 Giulia and Stelvio, with both coming in four trim levels. The trims include Sprint, Ti, Ti Sport, and Quadrifoglio. The new models standardize popular equipment and simplify model choices for car shoppers. The entry-level trims have been rebranded Sprint, and many popular options are now standard.
You’re looking at the final limited edition of Alfa Romeo’s 4C Spider. Aptly called the 4C Spider 33 Stradale Tributo, this new special model pays tribute to the brand’s 33 Stradale racing car, which debuted at the 1967 Formula One Italian Grand Prix.
It's tough to argue against the idea that the real excitement in the compact luxury sports sedan segment is happening away from the big German dealerships. Witness, as prime example, the 2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia, perhaps not the first car you'd think of in the category but carving out an enthusiastic little niche there all the same.
Alfa Romeo is reportedly preparing its first electric vehicle to launch in 2022. The vehicle will be the smallest of three new SUVs that are aiming to pull Alfa away from the brink of failure. The electric SUV said to be sized similarly to an Audi Q2.
Historic Italian carmaker Alfa Romeo is turning 110 this June. Celebrating this event are updated models of the 2020 Giulia sedan and Stelvio SUV. And as expected from Alfa Romeo, the changes were carefully selected to make the Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio more stylish, louder, and more fun to drive.
Alfa Romeo says that it designed the Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA to offer a unique and exclusive level of customization to buyers. Only 500 of the cars will be built, and Centro Stile Alfa Romeo has created dedicated liveries for the Giulia GTA that recall the unique racing history of the brand. Alfa says that buyers of the Giulia GTA open the door to a dedicated customer experience and have the option to pick up the car from the Autodelta workshop in Balocco.
We first saw a glimpse of the Alfa Romeo Tonale concept at the 2019 Geneva Auto Show. The Tonale is Alfa’s first-ever small crossover with a hybrid powertrain, and it looks every inch an Alfa Romeo with its evocative three-plus-three headlight design, Scudetto grille design, and curvy styling.
Alfa Romeo is bringing back an iconic name, with the Giulia GTA promising a 540 horsepower upgrade to the car's V6 and a Giulia GTAm version fettled for the track. Intended to mark Alfa's 110th anniversary, the Giulia GTA is a nod to the 1965 Gran Turismo Alleggerita, a lightweight version of the original Giulia focused on racing.
