I like museums as much as the next guy. Yes, even the ones with paintings of people who are most likely dead now and dinosaur skeletons. It’s a glimpse into artifacts from a bygone era and usually one of the few opportunities to see rare and exciting things. Sometimes they can be quite surprising, and also indicative…
In a country with a rich automotive history as Italy, there are bound to be some special automotive museums scattered around the place. On my last trip to Italy I went to some of the more obvious ones such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Pagani. This trip I was in search of some lesser known museums. And located in the…
If there’s one thing I learned on my recent trip to Italy, it’s that style matters. Looking good is more important than looking where you’re going. So it’s no wonder the storied art of coachbuilding—creating customized bodies for cars—is still well and truly alive in the nondescript town of Arese, Northern Italy. Here…
There already aren’t that many mid-engined hardtop sports cars available today and it looks like we’ve just lost another: The Alfa Romeo 4C Coupe. Pity.
An Italian design house has taken an already-gorgeous Alfa Romeo 4c and somehow turned it into something significantly prettier called the Alfa Romeo Mole Costruzione Artigianale 001. If you prefer your jaw to remain bruise-less, right about now would be a good time to place some soft pillows on the floor.
The gorgeous Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione might be making a comeback. I know, I’m filled with emotion at the thought of that, too. But not just as a another front-engined sports car; rather, as an insane mid-engined supercar. Be still my heart.
Alfa Romeo’s GTV is a storied nameplate if there ever was one. The GTV, which stands for “Gran Turismo Veloce,” or Fast Grand Touring, has been an Alfa Spider, an Alfa Giulia, an Alfa Alfetta, and a Spider again. And now it’s back with a lot of power.
There was a time when, if pressed, I would say that the most beautiful car ever made was the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale. I think a big part of it was how rare they were, how hard it was to find even pictures of them, nearly impossible to find video. And that’s what makes this such a treat, getting to hear the car’s eight …
Hello there, car shopper. Perhaps you are in the market for a sporty sedan. You could buy yourself any number of nice, reliable and sort-of-fun sedans, or you can live on the edge and get something with an Italian flair. That’s because the Alfa Romeo Giulia is already depreciating into tempting price ranges.
Alfa Romeos are known, chiefly, for their reliability. So it’s unfortunate that, in recent weeks, Alfa Romeo was forced to issue two recalls affecting thousands of Stelvios. One recall addresses the liftgate, which may pop open unexpectedly; the other has to do with corrosion that may cause windshield wipers and head…
Alfas may get a bad rap for being fairly unreliable, but at least one charming little 1974 Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV is still in exquisite condition, and it looks and sounds incredible.
For the first time in decades, Alfa Romeo’s famous Quadrifoglio lucky cloverleaf badge will grace the side of an Alfa Romeo-badged Formula One car. This time, it’s aboard the new Sauber C37, which was unveiled today with a big ol’ Alfa Romeo graphic on the side. Alfa’s finally back in F1.
Alfa Romeo has a colorful history of making some beautiful coupes and sedans, but in 2018 the automaker knows what sells, and that’s crossovers. Of course, a modern Alfa buyer doesn’t want just any crossover—they want one with 505 furious horsepower, so the top-shelf Stelvio will set them back some serious coin.
Alfa Romeos still break down. It happened to us and it’s happened to others. So what? Maybe it happened again. OK, apparently it has happened again, this time with what appears to be a pre-production Stelvio Quadrifoglio crossover, right in the middle of Sunset Boulevard.
Wonderful news! The normal, boring car you drive every day has been magically replaced with an Alfa Romeo SZ. Think of the fun you’ll have from now on!
One of the most beautiful off-road-style builds we’ve ever seen is this 1974 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000, which started its new life when it was dropped off a flat-bed trailer. Owners Nikita and Ilya Bridan rebuilt it into an safari-style hoonmobile, which inevitably came to Hoonigan’s yard where it died as it was meant to…
Why can’t you buy a practical car, like this 1990s Alfa Romeo Spider with a suitcase strapped to the trunk?
Watching crash tests of newer cars can be a great way to learn about which car would be the safest for you or your family. It’s also an excuse to watch YouTube videos of expensive cars plowing into barriers at 40 mph without worrying about the occupants.
