ALFA ROMEO HISTORY Founded in 1910 in Milan, Italy, Alfa came under the control of Nicola Romeo in 1915 and the company was renamed Alfa Romeo five years later.

The current Alfa Romeo models include the Alfa 147, 159, Alfa GT, Alfa Brera and Alfa Spider. The fundamentals of sports car handling, performance and safety are carried over from competition to road cars. Alfas are thoroughbred cars with a racing heritage. The company’s ‘cuore sportivo’ - or sporting heart - lives on to the present day, though the company has been a part of the Fiat Group since 1986.

Alfa Romeo is a name synonymous with performance and style.
