Romeo Ferraris 500 Abarth packs 360 tarmac-munching Italian stallions

Think you've seen the most hardcore 500 already? Sure, Abarth has churned out some pretty wicked versions of the retro-hatch, but even the 695 Tributo Ferrari and R3T rally machine can't hold a candle to the beast above. Given the name, you might think this latest Cinquecento was the result of another collaboration between Abarth and its big sister companies. But this 500 is actually a product of independent racing garage Romeo Ferraris, which has rebodied the 500 in carbon fiber and fitted it with a wing that looks big enough to ... Read more →

Bellisimo! Italian watchmaker crafts unique Alfa Romeo timepiece 1 year ago on Autoblog

There are car watches, and there are car watches. And this, boys and girls, is a car watch. The kind that will make the likes of the "Ferrari Engineered by Panarai" and "Breitling for Bentley" look like cheap marketing gimmicks. What you see here is the Contragiri; tachometer in Italian. It's ...

Online voters name upcoming Alfa hatch "Furiosa" 2 years ago on Autoblog

Furiosa. That's what the new hatchback from Alfa Romeo will be called, by virtue of an international competition to choose the car's name. The Italian automaker is getting farther away from the Alfa-numeric (pun intended) nomenclature and giving its models more emotive nameplates instead. The web ...

Upcoming Alfas going rear-drive 2 years ago on Autoblog

For years, the only Italian automobiles available in the United States have been exotic sportscars.

Enter the Rumormill: a new Alfa Romeo Duetto 2 years ago on Autoblog

Official Alfa Romeo Junior sketches surface 2 years ago on Autoblog

Germany's Auto Motor und Sport has unearthed sketches and renderings of the upcoming Alfa Junior. Yet another car they get over there, that we wish we could have over here.

Alfa Romeo wins Mille Miglia 2 years ago on Autoblog

Alfa Romeo gets Maserati backing to come to the US 2 years ago on Autoblog

Alfa puts the 159 on Atkins 3 years ago on Autoblog

Excess weight is the enemy of every automobile.

Upcoming Alfa and Maserati sedans to share platform 3 years ago on Autoblog
