The first official photos of Stile Bertone's Alfa Romeo Pandion were leaked on the internet today ahead of the concept sports car's world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show in early March.

Named after a species of raptors which is more commonly referred to as the sea hawk, the Pandion was designed to celebrate Alfa Romeo's 100th anniversary.

Even though the designers of Stile Bertone would probably disagree, we can't help but note that we found a few styling similarities between the Pandion and last year's BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept model including the front fascia, the far-reaching [...]

A new promotional video for the Alfa Romeo Giulietta has been released by the Italian automaker.  The 1m 40s video shows the Giulietta from many different angles in rapid succession, from the LED lights at the back to the distinctive triangular grill up front.

Unfortunately, we see little of the car actually driving, while the "driver inside us" narrates the video.

The Alfa 147 replacement will have a choice of four different engines when the car is launched, starting with a turbocharged 1.4-liter petrol model producing 120 horsepower.

Each of the other units are all turbocharged as well, including the 170-horsepower 1.4-liter MultiAir [...]

Following the release of the first photos and details of Alfa Romeo's Giulietta sport hatch (formerly known as the Milano), a new animated film of the car has appeared on the internet. We're guessing that the 12 second-long video was most likely created for use on Alfa Romeo's official website. Other than showing us the 147's replacement from a few new angles, there's really nothing else worth mentioning about the film. Hit the break to check it out.

Autobild tests the Alfa 8C Spider, and while I can’t understand most of what’s going on, it certainly looks impressive, described as a “cult-convertible” from “another planet” (I gather they liked it). In a previous test of the 8C Spider, we heard that it was one of the best spider interpretations of a coupe that’s on the market. It has a Ferrari engine and a Maserati chassis, so there’s no problem with the pedigree. If you don’t speak German, you’ll want to see this video anyway to hear the engine noise!

That sound you hear are the cracks forming on the walls of Alfa Romeo's assembly plant in Italy as believe it or not, someone managed to leave the factory with what appear to be mobile phone photos of the all-new Milano. The surprisingly revealing gallery, which comes only a day after an initial leak on Friday, made its way on a Facebook group page exposing the Italian compact hatchback from several angles and even gives us our first view of the dashboard and center console.

To a lesser extent than the smaller MiTo, the five-door Milano has an all-new body design [...]

Here is a spy video of the much anticipated Alfa Romeo Milano. The video was taken as the new Alfa hatchback undergoes testing at the Nurburgring. After many spy shots of the Alfa Milano, the video gives more of an idea as to the size and shape of the car, larger than the current 147 that it is replacing.

Of note is also the engine noise: a nice rumble. The Alfa Milano will feature some new engines, including the 1.4 litre MultiAir and, most likely, a 2.0 litre MultiJet twin turbo at 220 hp.

Here's a promotional video for the Alfa Romeo MiTo GTA and it looks like the definition of a stylish, Italian, hot-baby-hatch. True? Or as they say in Italian, vero, non?

The MiTo GTA is one of those models you bet on one day becoming a classic. It comes with an array of great new technologies that make it worthy of carrying the GTA (Gran Turismo Alleggerito - allegerito means lightened) badge for the Alfa Romeo brand.

For starters, it offers a direct-injection 1.8 liter engine with a spicy 240 hp achieved through the use of turbocharging, dual variable valve timing and electronics [...]

A high performance concept of the new Alfa MiTo, the Alfa MiTo GTA, will be starring at this year’s Geneva International Motor Show in early March.In line with the famous GTA (Gran Turismo Alleggerito) signature, (Alleggerito means reduced weight in Italian), the MiTo GTA Concept prioritises weight reduction, and the achievement of an optimum power-to-weight ratio.

Considerable work has gone into lowering the vehicle’s centre of gravity; thus certain components such as the tailgate spoiler, roof and mirror fairings are in carbon-fibre; while aluminium is used extensively in the braking system, suspension, and [...]

Tuning brand Marangoni, previously only associated with making performance tyres, has gone slightly manic on an Alfa Romeo Mi.To by blowing the Italian luxury mini car to a stupendous level. From the car's 1.4T-Jet they managed to force out 220hp/ 164kW, up 65hp/ 48kW from the standard turbo car. These numbers are comparable to the Ford Focus ST and Renault Megane RS R27. Power delivery is said to have been achieved from very low revs on the little pocket rocket which Marangoni calls an M430.

Aesthetically changes include lowering the car by more than 4cm, bolting on scissor-style doors infusing various [...]

Alfa Romeo has revived the Cloverleaf badge for a special edition Alfa GT in the UK.

Going back to 1923 the Cloverleaf represented a good luck charm for Alfa Romeo’s racing team and cars. Then in the early 80's “Gold leaf” and “Silver leaf” variations denoted top specification trim levels.

Going on sale July 01 in the UK the Cloverleaf package applies to all four Alfa GT versions with the 170bhp 1.9JTDM 16V Cloverleaf Q2 at the top of the range.

The Cloverleaf package includes Q2 limited slip differential, increased throttle response via sport mode button, [...]

With teaser images and design sketches released a few days ago, Autodelta has quickly followed up to keep the media momentum going with a detailed release on the tuning program for the Alfa 159 JTS. After receiving special accoutrement according to Autodelta's J-Series designation plus the addition of a supercharger, the vehicle is renamed to Autodelta 159 J4 2.2 C.

Via Rotrex supercharger unit, redesigned aluminum intake manifold, NGK Iridium spark plugs and a remapped ECU, the 2.2-litre unit’s maximum power from the standard 185bhp gets raised to 245 bhp, an increase of 60 bhp. Meanwhile, peak torque is raised from [...]

Alfa has finally spilled the beans on the Fiat Punto based Milan Torino collabortion better known as the MiTo.  With extensive details for the cute yet sporty new model recently released, Alfa hopes to reach newbie drivers of both the male and female persuasion.

The video starts off with pleasant driving scenes with an exhaust note that sounds very throaty for a 4 cylinder engine.  Unfortunately the engine revving sound track doesn't match the driving behavior in the scenes.  The later half of the video focuses on panning static shots of the exterior, lights and interior.  Not exactly Top Gear caliber [...]

With the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione finally reaching their final destinations at 500 parking spots around the world at the absolute most, Alfa has found the time to release a new video of their range-topping sports car.
The 450 hp Alfa sports car is named both after the legendary 8-cylinder sports cars from the '30s and '40s (8C) and the 6C 2500 Competizione model driven by Fangio and Zanardi at the famous "Mille Miglia" races in 1950.
The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione also marks the return of the Italian marque to the USA, preceding [...]
