| Hot News: Alfa Romeo Plans New Executive Saloon | | 2008-08-14 10:56:00 | | Autocar has learned that Alfa Romeo is planning to replace the defunct 166 with a new large saloon – and company bosses are determined to source a rear-wheel drive platform for the car.The car would act as a flagship model for the range, although Alfa’s new policy of naming rather than numbering models means it’s unlikely to carry the ‘169’ tag that previous speculation had suggested.One option is to use the Maserati Quattroporte chassis, although the expense of this would limit potent... | | By: My Blog | | |

| Hot News: Next Alfa Romeo 159 Gets Giulia Name | | 2008-08-12 02:40:00 | | Alfa Romeo’s successor to the 159 saloon will revive the historic Giulia name, Autocar has learned. The resurgent Italian brand plans to base the new car on a slightly longer version of the forthcoming 149 platform. The wheelbase will be extended to about 2.7 metres, with the commonality helping to streamline manufacture and cut costs. Italian insiders say the current 159’s platform (developed mainly by Saab when GM and Fiat were partners) is too heavy, too expensive to build and is also unl... | | By: My Blog | | |

| Spied: 2010 Alfa Romeo 149 | | 2008-08-11 06:51:00 | | Our spy photographers have snapped the new Alfa 149 being put through its paces ahead of its launch next year. The new car will arrive just a few months behind the VW Golf, and is expected to pitched slightly further upmarket than today’s 147. Alfa’s production target for the new car is a modest 100,000 per year and prices are expected to kick off at around £15,000.Engines will include both petrol (including the new camless Multiair design) and diesel units ranging between 120bhp and 250bhp... | | By: My Blog | | |

| Rendered Speculation: 2011 Alfa Romeo Giulia to replace 159 | | 2008-08-10 09:36:00 | | Alfa Romeo's marketing people have been bouncing around the idea of ditching the current three-digit numbering system and proceeding with a nameplate nomenclature. The shift – already in place on some models and not on others – could increase the appeal of certain models even more, while helping them avoid a crossroads that will inevitably come up when models like the 159 need to be replaced.Italian magazine Quattroruote has come up with a composite image of what it thinks that vehicle could look like. Unfortunately the results are rather cumbersome, essentially Photoshopping the nose from the MiTo onto the existing 159 body. The rear-end rendering is not much better, but intriguingly appears to carry a New York State license plate. While the existing 159 remains one of the most striking mid-size sedans on the market, we hope its successor – speculatively reviving the Giulia nameplate of old – will look a heck of a lot better than this.[Source: Quattroruote via CarScoop] Tag: S... | | By: Car News | | |

| Test Drive: Alfa Romeo MiTo 1.4 TB Veloce | | 2008-08-03 09:54:00 | | There’s a theme that unites truly lovable cars. More often than not, they possess at least two of three things: affordability, style or charm. That’s why, when it comes to Italian motors, British enthusiasts may revere Ferraris and Lamborghinis, but it’s the Fiat 500s and the Alfa Romeo Alfasuds that they take to their hearts.So is the British car-buying public about to fall in love again, this time with the 21st century interpretation of the 1970s Alfasud - the MiTo?Designed in Alfa’s ancestral home of Milan and and built in Turin (or Torino - hence the name), it’s the marque’s first ever supermini and is a key part of the firm’s plan to double its sales volume in the next few years. Not surprisingly, with that sort of pressure on its shoulders, the MiTo is following the love formula to the letter, with fashion house looks and a seductive starting price of just under £11,000.Going head to head with reincarnated favourites such as the Mini and the Fiat 500, not to mentio... | | By: Autos Space | | |

| Alfa Romeo : le 4X4 de loisirs en 2010 | | 2008-07-26 14:39:00 | | Depuis la présentation du concept-car Kamal au salon de Genève... 2003, Alfa Romeo n'avait plus évoqué son projet de 4X4 de loisirs qu'en des termes très vagues. Le lancement de la 159 et des Brera coupé et spider, jugés prioritaires, ont en effet accaparé les ingénieurs italiens. Qui n'en ont pas fini, puisque la petite Mi.To arrive très bientôt et que la remplaçante de la 147 est prévue pour 2009.Mais cette fois-ci, le PDG du groupe Fiat Luca de Meo l'a promis : le 4X4 Alfa, c'est pour 2010 ! Une date qui coïnciderait peu ou prou avec un autre serpent de mer de la firme milanaise, à savoir... le retour sur le marché américain, abandonné en 1995. Un retour qui serait difficilement envisageable sans un SUV dans la gamme.Ce nouveau modèle s'inspirera-t-il du Kamal ? Il est permis d'en douter : 5 ans pour un concept-car, c'est vieux. Ce qui est certain en revanche, c'est que ce 4X4 de loisirs – le premier pour Alfa Romeo – sera bâti sur la plateforme « Premium ... | | By: Auto linx | | |

| London Motor Show 2008 Highlights: 2009 Alfa Romeo MiTo | | 2008-07-23 02:30:00 | | Making its UK debut here, the new Alfa Romeo MiTo is the smallest Alfa Romeo model since the Alfasud in the 1970s. Smaller than the 147, it's a B-segment model based on the platform of the Fiat Grande Punto and aims to compete with the Mini, Ford Fiesta and Audi A1 (due next year) as a compact, fashion-orientated model. Clearly, the styling theme is derived from the flagship 8C and carries several cues from that car, including the front face, kicked-up DLO and circular LED taillamps.

| Hot News: Alfa Romeo 8C GTA | | 2008-07-07 08:20:00 | | Alfa Romeo is planning a lighter, harder, more powerful version of the 8C Competizione supercar, which will badged as a GTA. The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione GTA will be launched to coincide with the Italian firm's centenary year in 2010.Only 100 examples will be built, each weighing about 1450kg - that's 150kg lighter than a standard 8C. Autocar understands that more power will be extracted from the 8C GTA's 4.7-litre V8, so this faster edition could offer around 500bhp. As well as marking Alfa¹... | | By: My Blog | | |

| Alfa Romeo wants 2nd-gen 8C based on Ferrari California by 2010 | | 2008-07-02 16:42:00 | | When Alfa Romeo announced it was actually building the 8C Competizione, we had but to applaud. The automaker slashed its own marketing budget to finance the car's manufacturing, justifying that the halo supercar would do more for the brand's image than any television ad ever could. (Then they did it again with the Spider version.) Right they were, and we wish more automakers would think that way. The latest reports indicate that Alfa Romeo is following its own example, so while CEO Luca de Meo campaigns within the Fiat hierarchy for an even more hard-core version to wear the vaunted GTA badge, some of his subordinates are thinking a step ahead towards the 8C's successor.The current 8C is based on an aging Maserati platform – not unlike the resuscitating Aston Martin DB7 that was based on old Jaguar underpinnings. However, strategists within Alfa Romeo want to see its successor based on the new Ferrari California, trading in the input of one sister company for another. While they rea... | | By: Car News | | |

Not so anymore, as Alfa has released over 40 new high-res images of the Mi.To today. Named after the place in which it was designed (Milan) and the place in which it will be built (Turin), the Mi.To is basically a Fiat Grande Punto wrapped in a skin that was inspired by the luscious 8C Competizione. As such, Alfa included a number of images in the gallery below of the two cars side by side so you can see how much supercar DNA was stuffed into the Mi.To's design. The three-door hatch will be available with three engines, including an anemic 78-hp 1.4L, a more potent 155-hp turbo 1.4L and a 120-hp 1.6L JTDM turbo-diesel. All engines will be paired with the proper transmission for small car fun: a six-speed manual.

| Alfa Romeo exec in talks with Chrysler | | 2008-05-28 13:03:00 | | It was only in December that we mention Alfa Romeo was planning to open a factory in the United States. We followed that story with another in March when Fiat also mentioned a possibility of Iveco truck production coming to the States. It was in that same month that Fiat Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne told the Financial Times that his company was in talks with major U.S. automakers about sharing production. On Saturday, Alfa Romeo brand chief Luca de Meo told a German magazine that talks were under way with Chrysler. With Chrysler cutting domestic production, a move like this by Fiat would help both companies. The Italian carmaker, withdrawn from the U.S. market since 1995, would avoid the effects of the strong Euro on exports, and Chrysler would be able to ramp production back up on an idled plant.[Source: Reuters]... | | By: Car News | | |

This week, Luca de Meo, Alfas CEO, confirmed to the German magazine Auto Motor und Sport the Milanese brand will have its SUV. Least, but not last, Infomotori.com brings us the information that the SUV will be based on the future 149, placing the Alfa CXover, as it is called internally, in the fastest growing SUV segment, the same one were Renault Koleos, VW Tiguan, Ford Kuga, Audi Q5, Mercedes-Benz GLK and BMW X3 are already fighting for the preference of consumers. Although Porsche denies it, we also expect to see the Roxster in the market within the next couple years.De Meo also confirmed the CXover will appear by 2010 in order to allow Alfa Romeo to become a global player.

Thanks to inside information, we can exclusively reveal not only how the new car will look, but also what it will be called!Alfa bosses considered the Junior and Furiosa badges for the forthcoming model, but sources tell us they’ve chosen MiTo. It is derived from two Italian cities: Milan, Alfa’s traditional home, and Turin (Torino), where owner Fiat is based. The MiTo uses Grande Punto underpinnings, but is inspired by the 8C Competizione, with slanted headlights and a shield-shaped grille.However, its engine line-up promises to eclipse the Punto’s, thanks to a new 1.8-litre turbo motor delivering 180bhp. This will eventually be tuned to deliver as much as 230bhp. Other options include the Grande Punto’s 1.4 T-jet petrol and 1.9-litre diesel.Development of the MiTo has been a painstaking process, as engineers bid to ensure it drives better than the MINI.

| Spy Video: Alfa Romeo 159 GTA mule spotted at the Nurburgring | | 2008-03-27 09:16:00 | | Alfa Romeo has been turning out some impossibly beautiful cars. Unfortunately, most of the line-up is lacking the grunt to back up its killer looks, with the 8C Competizione floating beyond reproach atop the range and a huge gap down to the standard production models. Alfa is apparently looking to bridge that gap, however, with the 159 GTA.In the video after the jump, you'll see footage of a 159 decked out with enormous AMG Black Series-style vents and four squat tailpipes from which you can clearly hear a monstrous engine resonate. The test mule, spotted near the Nurburgring in Germany, looks like a further development of the one spied last summer. Although curiously, rather than wearing camouflage, it's all decked out in big Alfa Romeo decals as if to scream "look at me" in true Italian supercar fashion. Initial reports suggested the GTA could get a slightly detuned version of the V8 found in the Ferrari F430, although either the 4.2-liter V8 from the Maserati GranTurismo and Quattro... | | By: Autoshows | | |

| Alfa Romeo discusses U.S. production with Detroit Three | | 2008-03-25 12:40:01 | | Alfa Romeo discusses U.S. production with Detroit Three
Fiat's plan to bring Alfa Romeo back to the U.S. market is being threatened by the weak U.S. dollar. As a result, the Italian automaker is reportedly talking to Detroit's top three automakers about sharing production of Alfa Romeos. The apparent aim of the talks is to avoid having to build a costly production facility by instead finding a partner. Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne wouldn't say which automakers his company was talking to, but he told the Financial Times "you don't even need a full hand to count them." Previously, Marchionne mentioned production in the "NAFTA area" might be necessary, but this is the first time he has singled out the Detroit Three as partners — a move that might surprise some. Detroit's three automakers — GM, Ford, and Chrysler — have all been shrinking their operations, meaning they might have unused production capacity available.

| Geneva Motor Show 2008: updated Alfa Romeo 159 | | 2008-03-10 07:47:00 | | We had plenty of reason to frequent the Alfa Romeo pavilion at this year's Geneva Motor show. After the unveiling of the production 8C Spider along with the updated Brera and Spider came the revisions to the 159 sedan and Sportwagon.Like its two-door counterparts, the changes to the 159 consist of a few small updates that don't interfere with the model's stunning lines. Better ergonomics and new electronics update the interior, while weight reduction where the car meets the road should help the car's driving dynamics slightly. Most importantly, however, the tweaks which Alfa Romeo announced for the 159 range gave us and our cameras another reason, as if we needed one, to get reacquainted with one of our favorite European sports sedans and wagons.

The Italian brand has revamped its range for 2008 – and first up is the Spider (above), which now comes in an Ice White finish.

Also revamped is the 159, with new wheels and aluminium brake calipers shaving 45kg off the weight, and sharpening up performance across the range. A Q2 electronic differential is now fi... | | By: My Blog | | |

| Geneva 2008 Preview: Alfa Romeo To Debut Updated Brera And Spider | | 2008-02-25 14:23:00 | | While Alfa Romeo has disappointed its fans with the push back of the possible Junior debut, the Italian automaker still has some gorgeous cars to show next week in Geneva. Next week Alfa Romeo will be unveiling updated versions of the Brera and Spider models.These cars already look awesome, so Alfa hasn't messed with the award-winning design to any great extent. The wheels, brake calipers and suspension components have been replaced with lighter-weight aluminum versions, which should help address the cars' lamentably underwhelming performance relative to its design by taking a chunk out of its unsprung weight. The subtle changes continue inside, where redesigned seats offer a sportier and more ergonomic driving position. The dashboard has been updated as well to integrate a new dual-zone climate control system and a new sat-nav unit.A new 185hp 2.2-liter four joins the 260hp 3.2-liter six and 210hp 2.4-liter JTDM turbodiesel, mated to a variety of six-speed transmissions.

Love Message - Romeo and Juliet -
Skeletons of two young people descovered near Verona
(the famous city of Romeo and Juliet) in a touching hug…
That reminds us Shakespeare’s tragedy.
“So dear I love him that with him,
All deaths I could endure.
Without him, live no life.”

| 2008 Geneva Motor Show: Alfa Romeo 8C Spider | | 2008-02-20 08:34:00 | | The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione roadster version has just revealed ahead of the word premiere at the 2008 Geneva Auto Show on 4 March. 2008.The Alfa Romeo 8C roadster will be only 500 example to build as it is the Competizione.The new Alfa 8C Spider is powered by the new same Ferrari-derived 4.7-litre V8 as that fitted to the closed-roof car, while drive is channelled through a six-speed paddle shift gearbox to the rear wheels.The Italian OEM states that the two-layer fabric roof can be ordered in a variety of different shades.Build (by Maserati) of the coupe version of this supercar started in August 2007 at the rate of two cars/day. A convertible concept version, which was also called 8C Spider, was originally shown at the 2005 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.The 8C uses the steel platform of the now obsolete Maserati 4200 GT but has its own carbon body. The Competizione will be the launch model for the Alfa brand's return to the US in late 2008, with the Spider to follow in 2009.No ... | | By: Autos Space | | |

| Hot News: Alfa Romeo Duetto is Back | | 2008-02-20 06:08:00 | | A legend is returning at Alfa Romeo, and it’s got the Mazda MX-5 in its sights! This striking machine is the new Duetto – a drop-top that revives a famous model from the Sixties. Back then, the Duetto starred in the cult Dustin Hoffman film, The Graduate, and it has been affectionately known as the Alfa Graduate ever since. The car was a big hit for the firm, and the new version could repeat this success by offering beautiful looks and driver appeal in a £20,000 package. That would put the ... | | By: My Blog | | |

| Alfa Romeo 8C Spider production car headed to Geneva | | 2008-02-19 16:35:35 | | Our love affair with Alfa Romeo’s beautiful 8C Competizione continues with the announcement today that the even more stylish Spider convertible will be appearing at next month’s Geneva Motor Show in full production trim. Like the hardtop, Alfa will build just 500 examples of the stunning 8C Spider and the bulk of cars have already been earmarked for the U.S. and Germany. As gorgeous as the new Spider is, it’s also set to be a stunning performer as our first drive of the 8C Competizione has shown. The new model features the familiar 4.7L Ferrari-built V8 engine and delivers the same 450hp peak output at 7,000rpm. This engine has been mated to a self-shifting 6-speed gearbox (with computerized selection of the gears via levers behind the steering-wheel), and a self-blocking differential unit. Controlling all that power is some of the best brakes in the business. Sitting inside the pretty 20in wheels are a set of carbon-ceramic Brembo brakes measuring 380mm up front and 360mm in ... | | By: Auto News: Car Reviews, Car News, Car Shows | | |

| Spy Shots: Alfa Romeo Junior Spied For The First Time | | 2008-02-19 10:44:00 | | We have previously reported the Alfa Romeo Junior. And now Alfa's new hatch spied for the first time in Torino. The four-meter long two-door, the Junior will be available in October 2008. Alfa plans to produce 75,000 units of the car annually. The main rivals of the new hatch will be the new Audi A1 and the MINI. The Junior is based on the Fiat Punto but it's expected to look much more attractive than its brother. Engine choices will come from the higher level of the Punto options, with choices ranging from 120 horsepower on up to 200 hp. A 1.8 liter turbo with 227 horsepower could be also possible, with diesel options becoming available at some point. 22 centimeters shorter than the Alfa Romeo 147, the Junior could be a fantastic city car . A convertible version may also get consideration. Although the heavy camouflage, the distinct Alfa grille was not entirely disguised. Speculation has it that the Alfa Romeo Junior may get an unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show in two weeks.... | | By: Car Freaks Blog | | |

| New Alfa Romeo 149 Spied Winter Testing | | 2008-01-24 07:04:46 | | Alfa Romeo will replace its ging 147 hatchback with two seperate models. The 3-door version is being replaced by a little sport-hatch known as the Junior, of which we've seen spy shots. The 5-door will be replaced by an entirely different model, likely to be labeled 149, but this is the first time we've seen it.While the 3-door will be based on the Fiat Grande Punto, the 149 shares its platform with the larger Fiat Bravo. The car in the spy shot is wearing mostly Bravo bodywork, but a sharp eye will notice the trademark Alfa grille up front. Engine options will likely include a range of Fiat Group powerplants from the T-Jet and M-Jet series, and could include a 265-hp V6 for the GTA version.The 149 will hit European markets with a €20 000 base price sometime in mid 2009 after the Junior becomes available this coming October.Gallery: Alfa Romeo 149 Spy Shots... | | By: Car Freaks Blog | | |

| Hot News: 2011 Alfa Romeo 169 Based on Jaguar? | | 2008-01-02 23:39:00 | | But perhaps the biggest surprise is the shock news that Alfa’s upcoming flagship could be based on a Jaguar chassis.Marchionne has admitted that Fiat Auto attempted to buy Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford early in 2007. He also revealed that Fiat Auto was “attracted to British car makers for a number of reasons, including Land Rover’s US dealer network and Jaguar’s platforms and powertrains,” which it could then have used to make “top Alfa Romeo models with front-mounted, longitudinal engines and rear-wheel drive”.He added: “We remain open to talks with the future owner of Jaguar and Land Rover about possible co-operation.”Industry analysts say that if Fiat’s Indian partner, Tata, wins the race to buy Jaguar and Land Rover, this unusual tie-up could still become reality.The first beneficiary of a deal with Jaguar would be Alfa’s new 169 flagship, which is now due to be launched in 2010, marking Alfa’s centenary.Marchionne says the company has finalised the stylin... | | By: My Blog | | |

| 2009 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione | | 2007-11-15 13:20:50 | | This gorgeous two-seat coupe turns out to be the latest chapter in the on-again/off-again thriller that centers on the chances that Alfa Romeo will one day soon be reunited with U.S. buyers. The 450-hp 8C Competizione is, we’ve been assured repeatedly, a certainty to reach our shores. We might even say we’re confident that by the end of 2007 Americans will be able to drive away from the local Maserati dealership in an Alfa.The production 8C, which will meet federal regulations here, is remarkably close to the concept. At a cost of about $175,000, 500 will be built for European consumption and will have to be ordered directly from Alfa’s home office in Italy. Stateside, Maserati will sell a production run of 99 of these cars for about $200,000 apiece. A special facility at Maserati’s headquarters in Modena has been set up to build the 8C. Production is set to start next September. Alfa expects to build 600 of these cars over 18 months and then cease production.The engine under t... | | By: AutoBeat | blog Auto news, reviews, concepts, auto | | |

| Alfa Romeo 159 TI revives a historical sporting badge on its latest 159 variant. | | 2007-11-06 08:07:00 | | A legend is back at Alfa Romeo. The TI badge now appears on the 159 saloon. Short for Turismo Internazionale, the discreet two-letter label is reserved for only the most sporty and luxurious models in the range.To mark the occasion, the Italian manufacturer has fitted the newcomer with an upgraded version of its 2.4-litre JTD diesel engine. It now produces 210bhp – up 10bhp on the old unit. Sports suspension has also been added, alongside cosmetic up-grades inside and out.However, the Alfa faces stiff competition from prestige challengers such as the accomplished BMW 3-Series and new Audi A4. So are the revisions enough to allow the 159 to take on these premium class leaders?If the answer was based on looks alone, the Italian should have its rivals well and truly beaten. At the front is the traditional heart-shaped grille, flanked by six circular headlamps sitting beneath a menacing brow. Move around the car and you’ll be struck by the neat design details – such as... | | By: Autoshows | | |
