95 years ago - 16.11.1929 - Scuderia Ferrari was founded, as the racing division of Alfa Romeo.

Today, Ferrari is going from strengths to strengths, both commercially and in motorsport competitions - pictured here the Le Mans 499P winning car, as seen by Automotive Photographer Lucadaniloorsi at Milano AutoClassica.

“Can a car ever be art? Most experts in the subject say no, but then most experts have never clapped eyes on Alfa Romeo’s latest creation. It’s called the 8C and I think it’s quite simply the most beautiful car ever made.”

15 years after these words were spoken by and he still still hasn’t said otherwise…

The Junior has made it to the final phase of the “Car of the Year 2025” competition!
Alfa Romeo’s new entry into the small
SUV segment has captured the attention of 60 automotive journalists from 23 nations, earning their unanimous acclaim after the first media drive sessions earlier this year in Balocco.
The winner of the COTY contest will be revealed on January 10 of next year at the Brussels International Motor Show, but already being in the final is a defining moment for this disrupting Biscione!

Rarely seen outside the , the Tipo 33-based Iguana concept will make an appearance at the stand during over the weekend.

Presented 55 years ago at the Turin Auto Show, the Iguana is one of the six dream cars made by famous Italian design houses using the same race-derived tubular chassis as the 33 Stradale. More importantly, it’s the first project signed by Giorgetto Giugiaro as head of his own independent design studio, Italdesign. Under the just 4-meter-long metallic flaked bodywork made out of glass fiber lies a mid-mounted V8 - originally a Tipo 33 2.0L V8 that was replaced with a Montreal 2.6 V8 somewhere along its timeline. Back in 1969, this was still a very novel configuration - one that would be picked up later by many supercar manufacturers, most notably Ferrari with its lineage of “entry-level” supercars, starting with the 308 GT4 in 1973 and continuing up to today’s F8 Tributo. Unlike the other 33-based concepts presented by Bertone or Pininfarina, which were all truly unapologetic stylistic hyperboles, Giorgetto Giugiaro’s proposal was a very much street-oriented concept. Although it didn’t make it into production, its styling influenced his other works for the upcoming decade, with traces of the Iguana design language found in the Maserati Bora’s wedge shape, in the sharp lines over a muscular body of the BMW M1 and the Lotus Esprit, and the in use of “naked metal” by the DeLorean. It’s also not too big of a stretch to imagine some of the Iguana’s DNA making it into the Alfetta GT five years later - albeit in an even more refined and practical format, destined for a mass-market application.

We’re looking forward to discovering more of this bold, avant-garde concept over the weekend at the Milanese classics fair, where we’ll also be present covering the event on behalf of Alfa Romeo.

After its French escapade, the 33 Stradale is coming back home: takes center stage at the 14th edition of this coming weekend!

The new 33 Stradale will be joined on the dedicated Alfa Romeo stand by the 136 HP Junior Ibrida featuring the “Blu Navigli” paintwork and “Leggenda” scudetto, as well as three milestone Alfas from .official: the Iguana concept (normally seen on display at ), the 4C Superbike (former SBK Superbike World Championship safety car), and the 1750 Spider Veloce (a work-in-progress demonstration of the high skills employed by the technicians of Officine Alfa Romeo Classic Classiche of Stellantis Heritage in restoring vintage Alfas).

Tune in on Friday - we’ll be reporting live from the Rho fair in Milano, covering the event on behalf of Alfa Romeo. 🍀

Tonight on , a midnight predator with amber eyes - the 1993 Alfa Romeo 155 1.8 TS of .

Juan Meca Sanchez explains:

“I’ve always been passionate about the world of motors, especially motor racing and everything that surrounds it, since I was a child it has always been my priority and now as an adult it continues to be a passion that I could not live without. I have to admit that for years I was focused on German brands, owning many of the good cars made in Germany. But I’ve also had a soft spot for this model. The Alfa Romeo 155 has everything that attracts me to a car: a racing pedigree, strong exterior lines that enhance that brilliant, minimalistic look, a classic interior with an instrument panel with great and essential details (unlike those of today), precise steering that transmits all the potential of the Twin Spark engine and the way the wheels grip the asphalt in every curve. It’s fair to say I have discovered the essence that characterizes the Alfa Romeos and also the spirit that was used to produce these cars in the past!
I’ve always modified my cars, and the 155 is no exception: I have installed a coilover suspension, Alfa 147 side skirts, fiberglass front lip and a rear spoiler, I’ve modified the exhaust line, replaced the original steering wheel with a semi-offset one with a wood finish, and I have also changed the original rims for a set of OZ Racing Montecarlo in 17. It’s aesthetics are just complementing its history, and at the moment I’m just enjoying the best of it. And apparently so are the people seeing it passing by…”

The tasteful Alfa Romeos of .alfa, as presented by :

“The fifth edition of Gusto Alfa in Perushtitsa brought together the Biscioni eager to stretch their legs in style on the Rhodope Mountains’ winding roads - with local Alfisti pulling out all the stops in order to make this year’s meet a magnet for Bulgaria’s finest Alfas, but also for our friends who drove in from neighbouring Romania and Greece.
The spotlight of the event was the 116 series Alfetta coupe, as it celebrated its 50th birthday. From early GT 1800s to the GTV6, I’m sure you’ll all agree Giugiaro’s design style is still looking fresh! Also gracing the attendance was a line-up of Bertone coupes - all immaculate examples of the 1300 Junior, 1750 Veloce, and 2000 GTV models, each of them in striking colors and with interiors oozing that timeless Italian charm.
We had the classic Italian style on display, camaraderie amongst everyone present and the unavoidable spirited drives, so for us alfisti of Bulgaria Gusto Alfa has become an essential date in the calendar. The excitement sparked here once again will definitely keep the passion burning until next year’s gathering!”

In the news lately… from Italy:

- Lancia is appealing to the new generation of rally drivers with the Ypsilon Rally4 HF - a front-wheel-drive entry ticket into the world of professional rallying, powered by the 1.2 PureTech Turbo engine with 212 HP in its evolved MHEV version, featuring a 5-speed mechanical transmission and differential. Price: 74,500 €.
- As impressive as 212 HP might sound from a 3-cylinder engine, the Rally4 HF will not be the most powerful version in the line-up. Topping the Ypsilon range is the “civilian” road-going HF version with its 280 electric horses and an impressive sub-6-second 0 to 100 km/h acceleration.
- In the Fiat camp, the 600e gets its Abarth makeover, offered in two versions: Turismo with 240 HP and Scorpionissima with 280 HP. The latter, incidentally the most powerful Abarth ever, will be built in a limited edition of just 1.949 units, benefiting from some of the features we first saw on the Junior Veloce, like the Torsen differential and tasteful Sabelt seats.
- Last but not least, Alfa Romeo’s prodigy daughter, aka Ferrari, goes into hyperdrive mode with the latest installment of its ultra-car dynasty: the F80 is a 3.6 million declaration of motorsport-derived technological supremacy. Powered by a 1.200 HP 3.0 V6 hybrid (matching what the F1 car, and more importantly, the double Le Mans winner, also has), the F80 even rewrites the in-house rules (who was it again that said aerodynamics are for people who can’t build engines?) with a style that leans more toward the technical side than classic beauty. Which, of course, won’t stop any of the 799 hand-picked clients from getting one, starting next year until 2027, when Ferrari will actually be 80.

And faced with the other news from around the world, maybe electric cars are not quite the impending doom we thought them to be…

55 years ago - 29.10.1969 - the Alfa Romeo Iguana concept based on the Tipo 33 was presented at Salone dell’Automobile di Torino.
It was the first car designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro as head of his own independent design studio.

55 years ago - 29.10.1969 - the Alfa Romeo 1300 Junior Zagato was presented at the Salone dell’Automobile di Torino.
“A steel skin stretched tightly over an engine” - as described by the motoring press of the time, the Junior 1300 by Zagato came with an innovative wedge shaped styling signed by Ercole Spada, featuring bucket seats with integrated headrests, the absence of chrome ornaments and the signature Coda Tronca and Perspex front lights cover.
Intended for a younger clientele looking for a sporty, compact and original Alfa GT, the car had to do with a complicated production process and the resulting steep price (it was Alfa’s third most expensive car in in the ‘70s, with only the Montreal and the GTA being more expensive) - but it didn’t stop the Junior Z from being relatively successful, at least for a bespoke low run production. Over three years 1108 units were completed, with the updated 1600 Z introduced at the 1972 Turin auto salon produced in 402 units.

New stuff from the “Reloaded by Creators” program by FCA Heritage: 3 unique Alfa Romeo 4C personalised in collaboration with Nicola Larini.

These special 4Cs will be painted in three colours taken from the Tipo 105 range (Verde Pino, Rosso Prugna & Giallo Ocra) featuring a white front & back end just like Alfa’s racing cars in the ‘70s, with a proeminent Biscione decal featured on the hood and a Quadrifoglio on each side of the car. Nicola Larini’s hand will be felt at the interior, with its black microfiber upholstery used in order to reduce any reflections that might interfere with the driver’s visuals, while the seat and steering wheel will be offering the best grip while driving to the limit due to the adherent nature of the material used.
The bond between the 1993 DTM champion and the Biscione for this “Collezione GT - Nicola Larini” edition will be sealed by the Tuscan driver’s signature on the hood and dashboard.
