The story that inspired automotive history…
24th June 1910, Milan. The Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili (A.L.F.A.) comes to life. The first car ever created was the 24 HP, designed by Giuseppe Merosi. Five years later, the company changed its name to Alfa Romeo, when Nicola Romeo took over the property. Alfa Romeo became synonymous with passion. Its unique approach in creating cars inspired the best car makers around the world. Its logo became the unmistakable icon of the purest driving emotions for millions of enthusiasts, and it always will.
Over a century of racing passion…
Since its foundation, Alfa Romeo has competed with its creations in motor racing. The Quadrifoglio badge ruled every legendary competition, as Targa Florio, Mille Miglia and Le Mans. It won 5 world titles: the first GP World Championship ever in 1925 with the P2, the first two F1 championships with its legendary 158 and 159 Alfetta, the 1975 World Manifacturer’s Championship with the 33 TT 12 and the 1977 World Sport Championship with the 33 SC 12.
Alfa Romeo wrote many other indelible pages of motor sport with the outstanding P3, the amazing 6C 1750, the unforgettable 8C, the uncompromising 155 V6 TI DTM. But the last chapter of this legend is unwritten: the future belongs to those who have a great history.
