Alfa Romeo is an Italian automobile manufacturer founded in 1910. Alfa Romeo has been part of the Fiat Group since 1986. The company was originally known as ALFA, an acronym for Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili (translated: Lombard Automobile Factory, Public Company).

Until the 1980s, Alfa Romeo, except for the Alfasud, were rear-wheel drive.

According to the current Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne, in order to achieve economies of scale, all new models from Alfa Romeo will be the same basic platform (ie frame). Even Maserati will share components with some Alfas.

Cloverleaf, or Quadrifoglio, badges denote high-end variants in comfort and engine size of cars Alfa Romeo, but previously denoted Alfa Romeo racing cars in the second period of pre-World War II. The image first appeared in 1923 when Ugo Sivocci presented one before the start of the 14th Targa Florio as a symbol of good luck for the team. This became the symbol of competition Alfas, denoting higher performance. Some modern Alfas wear a cloverleaf badge which is typically a green four-leaf clover on a white background (Quadrifoglio Verde), but variants of blue on a white background have also been observed recently.

The Alfetta of the 1980s had models available sold as the “Silver Leaf and Gold Leaf” (Quadrifoglio Oro). These models were the top of the range. Badging was the Alfa Cloverleaf in either gold or silver to indicate the level of specification. The gold leaf model was also sold as the “159i” in some markets, the name in tribute to the 159 original.

The trim levels (option packages) offered today on the various nameplates (model lines) include the lusso ( “luxury”), tourism (tour), and the GTA (Gran Turismo alleggerite ( “light-Tourer great weight “). The GTA package is offered in the 147 and 156 and includes a V-6. In the past, Alfa Romeo Sprint offers (of sprintare Italian,” to accelerate fast “) trim level.

During the 1990s, Alfa Romeo car production moved to other districts in Italy. The Pomigliano d’Arco plant produced the 155, followed by 145 and 146, while Arese manufactured the 164 and new Spider and GTV. The 156 was launched in 1997, and became a big hit for Alfa Romeo in 1998 was voted “Car of the Year. The same year a new flagship, the 166 (mounted in Rivalta, near Turin) was released. At the beginning of the third millennium, the 147 was released, which won the prestigious title of ‘Car of the Year 2001 “. In 2003 the factory was closed Arese.

The 155, 156 and GTV / Spider are no longer produced. The GTV / Spider was made in limited numbers, and still is a coveted model.

The Arese factory today hosts almost nothing and almost abandoned. What is left are some offices and the great Alfa Romeo Historical Museum, a must for fans of Alfa Romeo.
