Alfa Romeo is developing its first electric car

Alfa Romeo begins a new era in its 113-year-long history with its first electric car, known as the “Kid”. It is a small crossover that will be smaller than the current Alfa Romeo Tonale.

The company didn’t reveal many details, but it will have sporty DNA and “change things up and change the rules in the segment.” Kid is a code name, and what the car will be called is left to the fans to guess.

Previously, there were rumors that the first Alfa Romeo electric car would be called the Brenner, but that will not be the case. Some are also speculating that it could be called the Sebring, as it will reportedly represent a slightly different version of the Jeep Avenger. Whether it will be like that remains to be seen.

The car is still in the development phase, and more information should appear at the beginning of next year, when the premiere is expected. This means that, if everything goes well, the first copies should reach their owners in the middle of 2024.

2023 Alfa Romeo F1 car is up for auction

After the new F1 car was unveiled last week, Alfa Romeo announced that one of the cars used at the launch will be auctioned. The C43 car will come with autographs by current Alfa Romeo team drivers.

This is not a rule, to sell the car before the start of the official Formula 1 season. This means that the new C43 will become unique after it is sold at auction. Until now, cars were auctioned during the season or at the end of the season.

The car has the same dimensions as the original racing cars that will be used in the races. All parts of the car are made of carbon fiber, and were created in the same production processes as the original Formula 1 car. It should be noted that the car does not have an engine nor can it be installed because the chassis does not allow it. Also, it does not have any other mechanism that allows it to move, so it is only for exhibitions.

Regardless of all the shortcomings that the Alfa Romeo Formula 1 car has, we are sure that there will be no shortage of interested buyers. The auction ends on February 21st and the current highest bid is £102,000.00.

100 years of the four-leaf clover on Alfa Romeo cars

In 1923, Ugo Sivocci put a white square sticker with a four-leaf clover on his Alfa Romeo RL at the Targa Florio race. It was the first time that an Alfa Romeo racing car carried such a label. Since he won that race, he believed that it was the four-leaf clover that brought him good luck, and from that moment until today, all Alfa Romeo racing cars carry that lucky amulet.

In addition to marking the 100th anniversary of the use of the lucky four-leaf clover (Quadrifoglio), the Italian company is also celebrating the 60th birthday of the famous Auto Delta division in which they are responsible for Alfa’s racing activities. The main ceremony is scheduled for March 5 and will be held at the Alfa Romeo museum in Arese (Milan). It was also announced that the big parade of Alfa cars with the Quadrifoglio emblem will take place on June 25.

Recently, Alfa Romeo unveiled a unique model from Zagato, called the Giulia SWB. The car is based on Alfa’s SZ and Giulia TZ models, and is built on the shorter Giulia Quadrifoglio GTAm platform, and mechanical solutions from these models were also used.
