Alfa Romeo
Alfa Romeo was founded in Milan in 1910 as A.L.F.A. (Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili). The Italian automaker built its reputation on motorsport success and driver-focused engineering, winning the inaugural Formula 1 World Championship in 1950 and securing early victories at the Mille Miglia and Targa Florio.
Now a subsidiary of Stellantis, Alfa Romeo focuses its modern lineup on the Giulia sports sedan, the Stelvio SUV, and the Tonale compact crossover. The brand continues to feature signature design elements, such as the triangular "Scudetto" front grille, while shifting its development toward plug-in hybrid and electric powertrains.
