Alfa Romeo has made it clear it's going to fully electric models over the next few years, and that seems to be starting with the newly revealed Milano. It's a subcompact SUV, and while it seems that it will be offered with an internal combustion engine (similar to its platform-mate, the Jeep Avenger), Alfa has only talked about the EV powertrains to start with. And at least one of them sounds quite entertaining.
Alfa Romeo is hitting the gas on limited-edition special-edition models of late, as the Italian outfit prepares to get rid of gas entirely. Last year we got the Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio 100th Anniversario editions celebrating the centenary of the four-leaf clover trims, then came Quadrifoglio Carbon Editions celebrating that resin weave, then came Tributo Italiano Editions lauding the home country. Now that the world is closer to the end of the internal combustion Quadrifoglio lineup, Alfa's launched the 2024 Giulia and 2024 Stelvio Quadrifoglio Super Sport models. The Giulia Quadrifoglio Super Sport is limited to 275 units worldwide, 72 coming to the U.S. The Stelvio Quadrifoglio Super Sport is even more limited, rolling out just 175 examples for the world, 52 slated for U.S. purchase.
Alfa Romeo news might be dominated by the Junior small SUV these days, but the Giulia and Stelvio are still holding their ground. In a bid to pique buyers’ interest in the Quadrifoglio models, Alfa Romeo has unveiled the new “Super Sport” special editions, available globally in limited numbers.These special edition models sport black Quadrifoglio emblems and boast 3D carbon fiber interior inserts finished in red.More: 2026 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio EV Could Come With Nearly 1,000 HPThe Quadrifoglio Super Sport versions of the Giulia and Stelvio were created to celebrate Alfa Romeo’s victory at the 1928 Mille Miglia with the 6C 1500 Super Sport.
Alfa Romeo departed our shores after the final 164s and Spider Veloces were sold here as 1995 models, then returned for the 2015 model year with the 4C. Thanks to its position in the mighty Stellantis Empire, the current American-market Alfa Romeo lineup looks quite a bit like the Italian-market one, but we missed out on some interesting machinery during our Alfa-deprived 1996-2014 period. One of those cars was the 2006-2010 Spider, and I found a discarded example in an Italian/French specialty breaker's yard near Leeds, England during a recent trip.
Automakers finally appear to be back on their feet after a few years of severe instability, but that hasn’t helped all of them in the sales department.iSeeCars recently released its study on the fastest- and slowest-selling new vehicles and found that some companies are moving vehicles off dealers’ lots at more than twice the pace of others.
The Alfa Romeo Milano is no more, and in its place lies the Alfa Romeo Junior. This tiny Alfa crossover – that won’t be sold in the U.S. – was only revealed just last week, but Alfa has already been forced to change the name at the request of the Italian government.
The Alfa Romeo Milano was introduced less than a week ago, but it’s already undergone a major change. In fact, it’s no longer even called the Milano.The surprising development comes shortly after Adolfo Urso, Italian Minister of Enterprises and Made in Italy, suggested the name was illegal.
The Alfa Romeo 4C is back from the dead. Well, at least partially. This Abarth Classiche 1300 OT doesn’t wear an Alfa Romeo badge, but it’s effectively a re-bodied and re-jiggered 4C built with an eye to the past.
Abarth is celebrating their 75th anniversary and they’re doing it in style with a new sports car. Set to be produced and sold by Stellantis Heritage, the model is known as the Abarth Classiche 1300 OT and it’s billed as an evolution of the Classiche 1000 SP.As the name suggests, the model draws inspiration from the 1965 Fiat-Abarth OT 1300.
