It’s a story that starts in Milan, Italy, on 24 June 1910. On that day, a group of Italian businessmen started Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili (A.L.F.A.) and started building cars. Today, of course, we know that carmaker as Alfa Romeo, a brand that has over the last century-and-a-decade given us some of the most beautiful and evocative cars ever made...
Alfa Romeo presented an exotic concept car at the 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show, a concept that translated the lines of some of the brand's most beautiful classics into the 21st century - the 8C Competizione. At the time, Alfa Romeo’s range consisted of the 147 (hatchback), the GT (coupe) the 156 (sedan and sportwagon), the GTV (sportscar) and the Spider (roadster)...
We revisit this appealing Italian sports sedan, and still think that what it lacks in cutting-edge cabin tech, it makes up for with spirited dynamics and outsider charm.
The world witnessed the latest collaboration between Alfa Romeo and Pininfarina - the 2uettotanta - at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. The collaboration celebrated the 80th anniversary of the Italian design house. This sexy roadster derived its name from the original Alfa Romeo 'Duetto' (1966), officially known as the Spider, and the word ottanta which means 80 in Italian...

Sponsored by: Alfa Romeo When you hear the name Alfa Romeo, you most likely picture an Italian sports car; that while great to drive, might not be the most sensible solution for your daily life. But the Alfa Romeo Stelvio is a modern, functional SUV that still looks like a glamourous Italian sports car, remains great to drive, and makes much more sense on the school run...
It may've been only a short spin in anger, but CarAdvice.com Managing Editor, Trent Nikolic, has come away from the Stelvio Quadrifoglio... mighty impressed.
Australia is indeed a lucky country. For the second consecutive year, one of the oldest motorsport events in the world, Targa Florio, has left Sicily in Italy, and touched down in Victoria. Here, Mandy takes a spin in both the powerful new Alfa Romeo Giulia Q, and the legendary 1970 Alfa Romeo 105 Giulia Sprint GT 1300 Junior.
Read the full article here. Australia – it's the country where there's always an insect, animal or sea creature trying to kill you. It's also the country that once housed a thriving car industry. But, instead of crying over spilt milk, we're showing the world one last time why the constant fear of death has inspired our local engineers to build a car that's itching at the chance to chew you up and spit you out...
Alfa Romeo and Jaguar are hardly synonymous with producing performance SUVs of note, yet both brands do. And do so brilliantly. The weapons of mass transportation you see here are the Stelvio Quadrifoglio and F-Pace SVR, and both want to give Porsche’s Macan and the Mercedes-AMG GLC a bloody nose. And let's be honest, they do it with charm and style...
Want a circa-$100k mid-engined sportscar experience and don't want a Porsche 718? We check out the 'alternative' baby supercars in the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider and Alpine A110...
If you’re looking for the most visceral journeys, short or long, from a practical mid-sized performance sedan, should you look to Alfa Romeo, Audi Sport, BMW M or Mercedes-AMG?
Although we're only a few months into the year, 2020 has already seen the exit of Holden, the cancellation of the Geneva Motor Show and Australian Grand Prix due to coronavirus, and the steady decline of new car sales. In a challenging climate, it's perhaps unsurprising that carmakers are reducing their ranges, discontinuing under-performers and replacing older models with hybrids, electric cars or new creations altogether...
Decades after the 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA hit the world stage, the monstrous 2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA and 2020 Giulia GTAm have debuted online to celebrate the marque's 110th birthday. For the uninitiated, the letters GTA represent Gran Turismo Alleggerita (lightened grand tourer), while the 'm' of the extra-special two-seat GTAm stands for Modificata...
Star-crossed lover Juliet met her tragic demise at the end of Shakespeare’s play (spoiler alert), and the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, too, will soon expire. Club Alfa reports Alfa Romeo’s smallest, cheapest model will end production this year. Production at the Cassino factory is expected to first wind down from 70 units each day to 40 before ending entirely later in the year...
Fiat Chrysler (FCA) has revealed the design and features of its new Uconnect 5 infotainment system. As revealed last year, Uconnect 5 is based on the Android mobile operating system. The underlying hardware now includes 6GB of memory, up to 64GB of flash storage, and a faster processor said to make the whole system five times faster than today's iteration...
They say that you’re not a true petrolhead until you own an Alfa Romeo and I think I understand that now. Ever since the Alfa Romeo Giulia drove into my life, I can’t help but fall in love with her more and more every day. Before we drive into the full review, it’s worth mentioning that our Alfa is the Giulia Auto with the optional Veloce pack...
Rating the 1990 Alfa Romeo 75 V6, informally dubbed the “Potenziata”, against specific attributes and establishing an overall/average score is ultimately pointless. The Potenziata is a classic case of its sum being greater than its parts. It's a flawed gem, so I could never rate it 10/10 on any one attribute (and I’ve arguably still been overly generous in my scoring) and yet my overall score would be 11 (which I believe is reasonable)...
This review of my 2014 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4T Progression (manual) is one that will hopefully convince you that I was somewhat logical for making my purchase. My role involves a reasonably long commute and it was one that I may as well have been asleep for prior to my conversion to Alfa ownership...
"Did you hit your head on something?" That was the first thing my former boss, a Holden workshop manager, asked me back in August of 2014 when I told him I had bought a car, and showed a picture of a [slightly faded] red 2003 Alfa Romeo GTV V6 that had just come off a car transporter from Queensland that morning. He was not the only one who doubted my mental health that day...
