Alfa Romeo is developing a new all-electric SUV

In 2023, there were rumors about a new Alfa Romeo car with which the Italian manufacturer would enter the race with currently strong competition such as the Porche Cayenne or the Mercedes EQE SUV. A few days ago it was confirmed by the head of Alfa Romeo, Jean-Philippe Imparato, and the new SUV should reach the market in 2027.

Jean-Phlippe said that the company gives more chances to the SUV model than to the hatchback, but everything will depend on the sales of this type of vehicle in Europe, the potential of the Asian market, especially China, and the development of electrification in North America.

“The question is whether we will increase the size, and for me the answer is yes. We have to go to a bigger model. We have everything, the platform, the engines and the software. We can push the limits to the maximum, and I have some design sketches that are very good. If I premium and I’m not in the E-segment, what should I do?”

Alfa Romeo currently offers three SUV models: Junior, Tonale and Stelvio, and according to some rumors, the new SUV should be built on the STLA Large platform from Stellantis. However, what we know for sure for now is that the car will have a striking design, a centrally positioned license plate holder, and that the front grill will be taken from the Scudetto model.

Also, it should be noted that the Italian manufacturer previously announced several special limited models such as the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, and the return of some of the old models such as the GTV or roadster Duetto is also planned.

Alfa Romeo Project Kid

Alfa Romeo appears to be developing its smallest SUV, and recently released photos point to what the Italian manufacturer is calling Project Kid.

Of course, the car is still in the development stage, so we can only talk about what is seen in the photos. At first glance, the car’s design resembles a larger SUV, the Alfa Romeo Tonale. Aggressive front fascia, Trefoil grille, logo positioned on the hood, and slim rear lights give the impression of luxury.

The car should be built on the STLA Small (eCMP2) platform used by other models from the Stellantis group, such as the Jeep Avenger and the Fiat 600e.

When it comes to the powertrain, there is no official information yet. It is assumed that there will be powertrain options as the Project Kid is based on the same platform as the Jeep Avenger, which is available with a 1.2-liter three-cylinder turbo petrol engine with 155 hp and 240 Nm of torque, but also with a 154 hp electric motor and has a range up to 400 kilometers.

Whether and when the car will go into production is unknown.

2024 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale

After the Alfa Romeo 8C, which was produced between 2007 and 2010, the Italian car manufacturer presented a new limited edition supersport two-seater based on the racing version of the Tipo 33, the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale.

The Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale will be powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine with more than 620 hp (456 kW), paired with a ZF 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. That’s enough power to push this powerful car to 100 km/h in less than 3 seconds with a top speed of 333 km/h (207 mph).

For fans of electric cars, Alfa Romeo will also offer a fully electric version powered by three electric motors with a total power of 750 hp (552 kW) and 996 lb-ft (1,350 Nm) of torque. Also, like the V6 version, it will reach 62 mph in less than 3 seconds and will have the same top speed (333 km/h).

Only 33 examples of this car will be produced (all have already been sold), and each will be hand-assembled at the Italian company Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera, where they also assembled the Giulia SWB Zagato. The good news for rich enthusiasts who didn’t get to buy one of the examples is the company’s statement that the 33 Stradale will not be Alfa Romeo’s last super sports model.

The car’s carbon aluminum body is finished in red, and the company announced that customers will have many options for personalization. In an interior that mimics the cockpit of a jet airplane, Alfa Romeo offers two options: Tributo and Alfa Corse, with plenty of leather, carbon fiber, aluminum, and Alcantara.

Afa Romeo has not announced the price of this super car.
