Alfa Romeo has a new logo for its 115th birthday

It has been 115 years since Cavaliere Ugo Stella founded A.L.F.A. (Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili) and the Italian brand has decided to present a special logo for this occasion. Its design combines the history of Italian passion, style and sporting competition and will be used at special events.

With a modern design and a connection to the company’s history, the special logo is a combination of the number “115” and the Biscione (the brand’s historical sign), innovation and movement. The black and red color combination represents the brand’s identity and pays homage to previous Alfa Romeo logos.

This year Alfa Romeo is celebrating the anniversaries of some of its most significant sports successes. On 12–13 April 1930, the Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport #84, driven by Tazio Nuvolari and Giovanni Battista Guidotti, achieved victory in the Mille Miglia. It was Nuvolari’s first victory in this race and the first to reach an average speed of 100 km/h on this demanding track. The second date is April 15, 1923, when Ugo Sivocci, driving an Alfa Romeo RL TF, won the Targa Florio. It was the first victory with the Quadrifoglio symbol on the body of the car. In 1925, the Alfa Romeo GP Tipo P2 won the first World Championship in motoring.

It is an interesting fact that almost all significant events took place in years ending with the number “5”. In 1955, the Giulietta Berlina debuted, ten years later (1965) the Giulia Sprint GTA arrived on the market. In 1975, the 33 TT 12 won the Constructors’ World Championship, and ten years later the Alfa 75 was introduced. It was the last mass-produced model on the Alfetta platform.

Happy birthday, Alfa Romeo!

Alfa Romeo will shut down the petrol versions of the Stelvio and Giulia

It has long been known that Alfa Romeo will be phasing out the current gasoline versions of the Giulia and Stelvio, and now we know when. The Italian brand has informed its dealers across Italy that production of the Giulia Quadrifoglio will end on March 31, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio on April 30, and the standard Giulia, Stelvio Sprint, Veloce and Intensa on May 31.

Alfa Romeo will not completely phase out these models, as the diesel versions are not mentioned in the document, and also because the new generation of the Giulia and Stelvio is currently under development.

The new generation of the Stelvio will be built on the STLA Large platform used by the Dodge Charger, Jeep Recon and Jeep Wagoneer S. It will be offered in hybrid and electric versions. As for the Giulia, some information says that it will be completely different from the current generation. It will probably have a sleek and aerodynamic body similar to the Peugeot 408.

Alfa Romeo has not yet released official information, but it is certain that the new generations of the Giulia and Stelvio will also be offered with electric motors.

2026 Alfa Romeo Junior Hybrid Q4

In 2024, the Italian manufacturer launched a new subcompact crossover SUV (B-segment), the Alfa Romeo Junior, and now a new version of this car has arrived. It is the Alfa Romeo Junior Hybrid Q4 SUV with the new Q4 all-wheel drive technology.

The Junior Hybrid Q4 is powered by a turbocharged 1.2-L engine (136 hp) combined with an electric motor mounted on the rear axle, for a total power of 145 hp. The new configuration includes an electric motor on the front axle, integrated into the 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and a second electric motor mounted on the rear axle, ensuring drive without a physical connection between the two axles. This optimizes torque distribution, guaranteeing excellent traction in all driving conditions.

In this case, Alfa Romeo has specially tuned the suspension and installed an independent multilink suspension on the rear axle for safer road handling. Drivers also have access to a new Q4 driving mode, designed specifically for low-grip conditions.

The cabin is enhanced with a leather-wrapped steering wheel, Spiga seats with heating and massage functions, an electrically adjustable driver’s seat, eco-leather and fabric upholstery, a 10.25-inch central display, a six-speaker audio system, and aluminum pedals. There are also assistance systems such as level 2 autonomous driving, a 180-degree reversing camera, an electric tailgate, and a keyless entry system with proximity access technology.
