ALFA ROMEO GIULIA VELOCE

  By ,

The number of sports sedans available to Aussie drivers continues to shrink. Ford and Holden’s offerings are no more and the Chrysler 300 is over and out too. That leaves the Germans, the Genesis G70 and maybe the Lexus IS350 F-Sport — and of course Alfa Romeo Giulia. Who could forget the Giulia, the car and platform with the very future of the storied brand riding on its elegant back. If there’s one thing the Italians know how to do and do well, it’s design and build great- looking cars… Read more

ALFA ROMEO P3

  By ,

Vittorio Jano designed a number of classic Grand Prix cars for Alfa and produced the dual- purpose sports and Grand Prix 2.3-litre Tipo 8C in 1931. In its sportscar form this car was particularly successful winning four Le Mans 24-hour races over the period 1931-1934. Following the 8C, a version with higher supercharger boost was produced which initially was to be named Monza after its first Grand Prix victory at that circuit in May 1931. However, Maserati and Bugatti had cars which proved they were capable of beating the Alfa… Read more

TONALE TAKES ALFA INTO THE FUTURE

  By ,

The headlights might say Brera but there’s nothing old school about the rest of Alfa’s new Tonale which arrives in February. Alfa’s first hybrid, the compact five-seat SUV will be priced from $49,900. Featuring a 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine coupled with 7-speed dual clutch transmission and 48-volt battery, the mild hybrid produces 118kW of power at 5750 rpm and 240Nm of torque at 1500 rpm. A variable geometry turbocharger helps to deliver diesel-like fuel-economy of 5.6L/100km. Tonale sits on the same platform and uses the same drivetrain as the Jeep… Read more

ALFA DOES MODERN ITALIAN JOB ON CLASSIC GIULIA

  By ,

Hey, it’s been a long time between Alfa Romeo automotive Proseccos. It was the Giulietta hatchback of some vintage I last tasted, if I remember correctly, which ended its almost decade-long run last year. Now the iconic Italian vehicle manufacturer has turned its attention to the mid-size Giulia, adding more sparkle to the five-seater sedan. The outwardly attractive Giulia, which first stepped out several years ago, did lack substance. The 2021 upgrade has come up with cutting edge engineering, a series of patented technologies and the use of lightweight materials… Read more

ALFA ROMEO STELVIO VELOCE

  By ,

Alfa Romeo Stelvio is an SUV created to combine performance car handling with the versatility of an SUV. It’s a good-looking machine, the front is classic Alfa with its prominent triangular grille, together with black trim, fat exhaust outlets and black 20-inch rims with red brake calipers visible through them. The term classic returns to mind when it comes to the interior, with its analogue dials, driver-focused dash, aluminium trim inserts and heavily-bolstered sports seats. You’ll find the start button located on the steering wheel and another one labelled DNA,… Read more

ALFA ROMEO 1750 COUPE AND DUETTO

  By ,

In the late 1920s the Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 established a strong reputation for the firm. Hence, in 1967, when Alfa Romeo was making plans to introduce a new model to sell alongside the Giulia 1600 they had the foresight to revive a great name. Whilst the engine of this new car had a displacement closer to 1800 cc, it was only 29 cc greater than 1750, so the decision was made by Alfa management to revive the old name and use it in all sales promotion relating to this… Read more

ALFA ROMEO GIULIA QUADRIFOGLIO

  By ,

It’s a mouthful, that’s for sure, but the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is just one of those cars that will take your breath away. Whether that’s struggling to get in and out of the low-slung machine, or being slammed back in the seat as it bellows its way to 100hm/h. The four-door, twin-turbo V6 sedan is a lover and a fighter, both a looker and a consummate performer — a car without compromise. Quadrifoglio is designed to go head-to-head with the likes of the BMW M3 and Mercedes- AMG C63,… Read more
