Here you will find all the stories we’ve published about Alfa Romeo.
The Alfa Romeo 4C – a compact, mid-engined RWD sports car – teased by Alfa at Geneva & Frankfurt – will arrive in 2013. The Alfa Romeo 4C holds a lot of promise as a small mid-engined and very light sports car. And Alfa Romeo has seemed serious about their baby 8C, turning up at both [...]
The Alfa MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde has broken the world record for bursting balloons filled with water in a car – 2,738 balloons. There was a time, when Guinness World Records were new and fascinating, that there was a world record for every daft idea you could think of. And there still is (even though most are [...]
Alfa has taken the Alfa Romeo MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde, set it in to attack mode and created a competition to win an Alfa day at Goodwood. Alfa in the UK rather like a bit of social media promotion. So they’ve set up a competition to promote the quite warm Alfa Romeo MiTo Quadrifoglio. But instead of [...]
Alfa Romeo has announced that the Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4 TB MultiAir 170 bhp and 2.0 JTDM-2 170 bhp can be specified with the ALFA TCT semi-auto ‘box. We really like the Alfa Romeo Giulietta. In a world where many cars look the same, the Giulietta has style and panache. And it’s a decent drive, which will now be improved [...]
Alfa Romeo has revealed a new 1.8 litre turbo petrol engine with up to 300bhp, which seems destined for the new Alfa 4C. Alfa Romeo are on something of a push to make themselves seem a viable part of the Fiat setup, with a plan to push hard in to America (although that keeps getting delayed) and [...]
Alfa Romeo has revealed photos of the Alfa 4C for Frankfurt, which appears to have only changed its colour to ‘Fluid Metal’ When Alfa Romeo teased the Alfa 4C for Frankfurt a few weeks back with a dark photo (what’s new?) we did ask what they were playing at. Don’t misunderstand; we think the Alfa [...]
Alfa Romeo has revealed a teaser photo of the Alfa 4C ahead of its production debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show. We’ve had good reason to report on the Alfa Romeo 4C since it arrived on the car landscape back at Geneva in March. The 4C is exactly what Alfa should be doing to resurrect interest in [...]
Alfa Romeo has released a video of the Alfa 4C, a mid-engined, 2-seater sports car revealed at the Geneva Motor Show 2011. In case we forget what it looks like. One of the most appealing cars at this year’s Geneva Motor Show was the Alfa Romeo 4C, a good-looking, mid-engined, 2-seater coupe. Better still, Alfa let it be known [...]
Alfa Romeo will now return to the U.S. market in 2013, initially with an Alfa SUV followed by the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sedan. It’s now two years since Alfa Romeo revealed its plans to return to the U.S. market – after an absence of 20 years – on the back of Fiat’s effective takeover of Chrysler. But all is [...]
Alfa Romeo are promoting their congestion charge busting Alfa MiTo 1.3 JTDM-2 85bhp with an ‘Art Car’ painted by Louise Dear. Alfa Romeo are pushing quite a few PR buttons with the congestion charge busting Alfa MiTo 1.3 JTDM-2 85bhp, the latest of which is the ‘Art Car’ in the photo above. Recently, we had Alfa pitting [...]
Alfa Romeo has staged a race between an Alfa MiTo and athlete Iwan Thomas over a 3.8 mile London course to promote UK Athletics. Alfa Romeo sponsors UK Athletics (UKA) by divvying up cars to high-profile athletes. Good for the athletes; good for Alfa. So with the domestic athletics season upon us someone at Alfa [...]
Alfa Romeo give the 2011 Alfa MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde cosmetic tweaks, with new wheels, new toys and bits of carbon fibre. The Alfa MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde already sits at the top of the very appealing MiTo range, but that hasn’t stopped Alfa spreading more Alfa goodness across its bows for the new 2011 model year cars. Don’t get too [...]
In part two of the review of the Alfa Romoe Giulietta 1.4 TB MultiAir 170 Veloce we look at how it drives. Is it fun? Is it well made? The Giulietta is up against some stiff competition from the sector big boys – the VW Golf and the Ford Focus – and for all the visual [...]
Romeo has rationalised the Alfa MiTo range for 2011, cutting it down from 17 versions to nine and adding three new engines. The proper Alfa nutters aren’t overly fond of the MiTo. They don’t see it as a real Alfa, perhaps because it doesn’t break down every five minutes and it’s front wheel drive. We’re [...]
Zagato has built another car to celebrate the centenary of Alfa Romeo. The Zagato TZ3 Stradale has a glorious carbon fibre Alfa body over a Dodge Viper ACR There’s been a lot going on to celebrate the centenary of Alfa Romeo, not least the cars created to pay tribute to a marque that still oozes petrol from [...]
It’s being reported that Alfa Romeo has pushed back its plans to relaunch in the US because it really only has two models to offer It’s getting on for two years since we reported that Alfa Romeo were going to relaunch themselves in the US after an absence of twenty years, to give Americans an [...]
Alfa Romeo reveals the Alfa 4C Concept at Geneva, a 2-seater, mid-engined coupe with 1750cc turbo lump and 0-60 in 5 seconds. On sale 2012. We had a stab at guessing what the Alfa Romeo 4C would be like once we knew it was likely that Alfa were taking the 4C – a baby Alfa [...]
Alfa Romeo reveals the limited edition Alfa MiTo Sprint in a choice of Red, White or Blue. It celebrates Alfa’s ongoing support for UK Athletics (UKA).

Alfa Romeo launch a 138bhp diesel in the Alfa Romeo Giulietta with 119g/km and 62.8mpg. Starts at £20,750. Alfa Romeo seem to be doing much right – and much less wrong – than ever before. Yet they also seem to be floundering and struggling to make the volume of sales they need to be viable. [...]
Alfa Romeo are taking the Alfa Romeo 4C GTA Concept to the Geneva Motor Show. Beyond that, it’s mostly conjecture. The Interwebs – and our inbox – are filled with rumours of an Alfa Romeo 4C GTA Concept expected to turn up at the Geneva Motor Show next month. And the story is coming from [...]
The Christmas card from Zagato seems to feature a new TZ – the Alfa Romeo TZ4. But beyond that, we don’t have a clue. Alfa Romeo have made some of the most beautiful cars on the planet. And none more beautiful than those designed and built in collaboration with Zagato. We wouldn’t go as far as the [...]
Fiat plan to offer just the Fiat 500 through its US franchise dealers, but will also offer the new Alfa Romeo SUV and other Alfas. With the exception of Ferrari, Fiat’s offerings have never been a runaway success in the US. But with the world getting more eco-minded and Americans starting to see the joy that smaller [...]
Alfa Romeo has launched a limited edition MiTo – the Alfa MiTo Turismo Sport – with cosmetic tweaks, choice of paint jobs and a half decent finance offer. Don’t get barkingly excited, this isn’t a barn-storming MiTo in the mould of the much anticipated – but not yet materialised – MiTo GTA. It is in fact a Limited Edition Alfa [...]
We’re hearing strong rumours that Alfa Romeo are planning a compact crossover/SUV to be made in the US, based on a Jeep platform and launching in 2012. We had a flurry of expectation a few years ago that ever car maker on the planet from the prosaic to the stellar would be churning out an SUV. That got modified [...]
Alfa Romeo are using Uma Thurman and a strapline from Shakespeare to sell the new Alfa Romeo Giulietta. How can they fail? We do have a huge passion for Alfa Romeos at Cars UK. From the rust bucket Alfa Suds of our youth (well, at least us oldies in the office) to the less than [...]
