About Alfa Romeo
Since its foundation in Milan, Italy, in 1910, Alfa Romeo continues to design and craft some of the most stunning and exclusive cars in automotive history, all while building on a racing heritage that includes some of the most talented and storied drivers and victories.



As the first of a new generation of vehicles on an all-new platform, the 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia and Giulia Ti models embody Alfa Romeo's La meccanica delle emozioni (the mechanics of emotion) spirit, delivering race-inspired performance with a class-leading 280 horsepower, advanced technologies that include the available Q4 all-wheel-drive system, seductive Italian style and an exhilarating driving experience to the premium mid-size sedan segment. As the 'halo' model in the lineup, Giulia Quadrifoglio highlights Alfa Romeo's motorsport knowhow with a best-in-class, 505-horsepower, 2.9-liter bi-turbo V-6 engine that earns the title of the most powerful Alfa Romeo production car engine ever and the quickest with a class-leading 0-60 mph time of 3.8 seconds, plus it enabled a record-setting Nürburgring lap time of 7:32 – the fastest ever by a four-door production sedan.

The handcrafted 2017 Alfa Romeo 4C Coupe represents the purest form of La meccanica delle emozioni, with its race-inspired, mid-engine design and state-of-the-art, Formula 1-inspired carbon fiber monocoque chassis that enables an incredible power-to-weight ratio and with advanced technologies, including the all-aluminum 1750 turbocharged and intercooled engine with direct-injection and dual variable-valve timing, which enables supercar-level performance, including 0-60 mph in 4.1 seconds.

The Alfa Romeo, re-introduced to the North American market, has been a long awaited return by all enthusiasts of the brand. The very limited 8c model started this process in the 2007 model year for a very low production run. In the 2015 model year, Alfa came back again with the introduction of the 4C model. Styling was influenced by the amazing 1967 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, which is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful automobiles ever made.

This Alfa Romeo 4C Spider, wearing Rosso Competizione Tri-color paint, is a study in lightness. Construction began with a full carbon fiber tub chassis by Adler Plastics and then the car is largely hand-built in the Maserati Factory in Modena Italy. Each material and the inclusion or exclusion of functions was determined based on the impact of weight. This 237 horsepower car has a total curb weight of a mere 2,487 pounds, giving it a very trackable and impressive power-to-weight ratio.

An Alfa Romeo 4C holds the Nurburgring Lap Record for production cars with less than 247 horsepower.
