Fiat Looking into Mexico to Build its U.S. Bound Alfa Romeos

In addition to searching for a possible partner to build its U.S. bound Alfa Romeo models, the Fiat Group is also looking into creating a new plant in Mexico that could supply both North and South America. Fiat desperately needs to find a solution to the weak dollar in order to start selling Alfa Romeos in the U.S. in late 2009. -Continued
Creating a factory in Mexico will not only solve Alfa Romeo’s problem but at the same time it will help Fiat cope with the growing demand in South America as the company needs more production for the region. Mexico’s strategic position is considered ideal as it will help balance Fiat’s needs in North and South America.

2010 Romeo Ferraris Mercedes C63 AMG

2010 Romeo Ferraris Mercedes


There are lots of German tuning outfits ready to rev up your newly minted Ferrari or Lamborghini - rare, though, is an Italian tuner who aims to add a little firepower to a German performance car.



Romeo Ferraris puts the experience of its racing team to good use and takes on the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG - dialing things up a notch or two by means of ECU-mapping, a new exhaust and adjustable suspension.



That engine and exhaust work amounts to the 6.2 liter V8 producing 540 bhp (403 kW) instead of the production model's 457 bhp (341 kW). Romeo Ferraris replaces all the exhaust fittings with its own high performance components, including the manifold, that also helps boost power.



The tuning job gives the C63 AMG a 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of 4 seconds flat, compared to the 4.5 seconds of the production version. 200 km/h is achieved in just 12.5 seconds and top speed is over 300 km/h.



Romeo Ferraris also provides its own super-light 18-inch racing rims which weigh only 10 kg each.



Finally, come the aesthetics - a cromo paint job, a more aerodynamic front bumper, and the black Benz badge, lateral air intakes, grids, lights parabola and roof wrapping that give the car an mean-asphalt-engraven look. Other roof colors are also available.



For the interior cabin is a silver stitching for the seats and steering wheel done in Alcantara and a leather finish for the dashboard and door panels too.

The New 2010 Alfa Romeo TZ3 Corsa

2010 fast Alfa Romeo TZ3 Corsa


INTRODUCTION:TZ3 Corsa is based on a mono shell carbon fibre tubular chassis, coupled with a tubular frame and a lightweight aluminium body. It boasts Technical Partners such as OMP and Pirelli.



HIGHLIGHTS:The TZ3 Corsa is not a design exercise. It does not take inspiration only from the 90 year collaboration between the two brands, neither only from the Milanese conjunction between Alfa Romeo and Zagato. The TZ3 Corsa is a race car, honouring 100 years of races and victories across the whole 20th century.



SPECIFICATIONS:



* The engine used for the TZ3 Corsa is an earlier version of the quad-cam V8 found in Alfa Romeo's 8C Competizione. Originally used in the Maserati GT and Spyder models, the engine displaces just over 4.2 litre. In the current trim, the all-alloy V8 is good for a hefty 420 bhp. This power is transferred to the rear wheels through a sequential six-speed gearbox. Pirelli has provided custom slick tires to fit the 18 inch wheels.

* The lightweight mechanical package is clothed in a carefully crafted aluminium body. The design has clearly been inspired by the TZ with its low profile, long nose and cut-off tail. The paint used for the car is identical to the red found on the original. Also typically TZ is the blacked out tail section. To honour Alfa Romeo the car sports big stickers with company's badge on the sides and nose as well as Autodelta badges on the A-panels.



DESIGN:Even the grandiose Quadrifoglio Verde was placed on the bodies of Zagatos of the Alfa Corse team numerous times. Among the most glorious moments is the victory of the Formula 1 championship of Juan Manuel Fangio, aboard his Alfa Romeo 159 bodied by Zagato, as well as the victorious Alfa Romeo 3000 CM bodied in 3 samples by Zagato.



CONCLUSION:The Alfa Romeo TZ3 Corsa was officially unveiled at the 2010 Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. A day later, during the Concorso d'Eleganza at the nearby Villa Erba, it received the 'Design Award' for the best concept car or prototype picked by public referendum

2010 Alfa Romeo MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde

2010 Alfa Romeo MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde Side




Available following the launch of the 105 and 135 hp MultiAir engines, the world premiere of the Alfa Romeo MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde with 170 hp 1.4 MultiAir TBi takes place in Frankfurt. The exclusive trim brings back a legendary symbol that over the years has appeared on some of Alfa Romeo’s sportiest cars. Having always been synonymous with heritage, racing and victory, the “Quadrifoglio Verde” (four-leaf clover) now represents a new kind of sportiness that combines maximum driving pleasure with improved environmental qualities.



Bearing the Quadrifoglio Verde is this MiTo with the most powerful 170 hp MultiAir engine and innovative solutions that accentuate the existing qualities of the model: hold, agility, active safety and driveability are heightened by an engine with one of the highest specific power values in the world and a chassis with features hitherto unthinkable for a car in this class.



This engine’s best feature is its outstanding weight/power ratio, which has always been one of the key factors behind Alfa Romeo’s success on the road and the racetrack. The class-leading ratio of 6.7 kg/hp is almost 10 per cent better than the already excellent performance of the current 155 hp 1.4 TBi. At 124 hp/litre, this engine is also one of the world leaders in specific power. In fact, this is the highest value ever recorded for an Alfa car, affirming the excellent engineering heritage of the Alfa MiTo.



This is a particularly important value because it proves the effectiveness of downsizing, aimed at producing high-tech engines to get better performance allied with sharp reductions in fuel consumption and emissions. Indeed, it is this latter area which provides the most surprising evidence of the technical level achieved: 4.8 l/100 km and 139 g/km of CO2 (in the extra-urban cycle) are closer to what you would expect from an economy car than a compact sports car that goes from 0 to 100 km/h in just over 7 seconds.



On the back of these exceptional power qualities and the unbeatable performance/consumption ratio, Alfa Romeo decided to give a sporty and technological feel to this Quadrifoglio Verde version with high-quality finishes, attention to detail and a raft of features. One example is the 17" satin titanium-finished wheels (based on the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione supercar). The same colour is used for the headlight frames and the wing mirrors, while the dark finish of the headlight parabolas is achieved by a brand new metal sublimation technology. The interior also has a refined sporty feel thanks to the all-black environment that ensures no reflections or distractions while driving. The technological aspect of this car is further enhanced by the sporty fabric used to upholster the seats, the modern dashboard and the white lighting on the instrument panel.



It should also be stressed that Alfa Romeo has developed an innovative chassis upgrade to further emphasise the dynamic qualities of the MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde.





Bearing Mito Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio Verde is the most powerful car engine 170 hp MultiAir innovative solutions and maintaining the quality of the model are: endurance, agility, active safety and driveability are reinforced by a machine with one of the highest specific power values in the world and chassis with features that until now unthinkable for cars in this class.



This machine’s best feature is the extraordinary weight / power ratio, which has always been one of the key factors behind the success of Alfa Romeo on road and racetrack. Class-leading ratio of 6.7 kg / hp almost 10 percent better than the already good performance of the current 155 hp 1.4 TBI. At 124 hp / liter, this engine is also one of the world leaders in a particular power. In fact, this is the highest value ever recorded for the Alfa, affirmed heritage very good technique Alfa Romeo Mito.



This is a very important value because it proves the effectiveness of downsizing, which aimed to produce high-tech machines to get better performance allied to a sharp reduction in fuel consumption and emissions. Indeed, this latter area provides the most startling evidence of the technical level achieved: 4.8 l/100 km and 139 g / km of CO2 (in the extra-urban cycle) is closer to what you’d expect from the economy car than a compact sports car that moves from 0 to 100 km / h in just 7 seconds.



Force behind this extraordinary quality and unbeatable performance / consumption ratio, Alfa Romeo decided to give a sporty feel and technology into the Mito Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio Verde high-quality finish, attention to detail and features a raft. One example is the 17 “titanium satin-finished wheels (based on the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione supercar.) The same color is used for lamps and mirror frames, while the dark finish of the parabolic light is achieved by a new brand of metal sublimation technology. This section also has a sporty soft felt thanks to all the black neighborhood to make sure there are no reflections or distractions while driving. aspects of car technology is further enhanced by the sporty fabric used to upholster a chair, modern dashboard and white lighting on the instrument panel.

Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione

Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione
The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione designed and developed at the Alfa Romeo Style Centre, the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione is based on Maserati mechanics, but features unmistakeable Alfa Romeo styling. The '8C Competizione' name-plate is a reference to Alfa Romeo's rich motor-racing history. Making sure it handles as well as it looks, Alfa have drastically cut weight of the vehicle with the extensive use of carbon-fibre (the body and some other elements, like seat structure).Engine specifications on the prototype. The Engine Type of Alfa Romeo 8C is V8. The car having displacement of cu in (cc): 286 (4691). The Power of the car is bhp (kW) @ RPM: 450(336) / 7000 .The Torque is Nm @ RPM: 470 / 4750 having redline: 7500 rpm.

Originally unveiled as a concept car in 2004, Alfa have confirmed that the model will go into production in 2007 as a limited edition model, although that has yet to be confirmed.The planned debut of the production version is for the Paris show in late September so keep your eyes peeled and remember to check back for full production details shortly.

Designed with the intention of giving the venerable Italian performance car company a sports car designed to compete with Ferrari and Lamborghini, the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione is an impressive feat of automotive engineering, while also maintaining the classic Alfa looks and performance.

Under its hood is a 90-degree, cross-plane 4.7-liter V8 assembled by Ferrari that features wet sump lubrication and has 444 horsepower from the factory, and runs 0-60 in only 4.2 seconds. With styling harkening back to the days of the Alfa Romeo Duetto convertible, right down to the triangular grille, the 8C is a gorgeous car, worthy of all the design awards and acclaim it has received. Only 500 8C Competizione coupes were ever built, but what’s even rarer is the one police version available in Need for Speed Hot Pursuit.

Alfa Romeo Nuvola Concept 1996

Alfa Romeo Nuvola Concept 1996


Alfa Romeo Nuvola Concept not only oozes style, it also conveys a whole different approach to car construction. In fact the car is based on a load-bearing, mechanised chassis, as in the early days of car manufacture. This architecture allows different bodies to be built onto the same base in order to offer a wide-ranging response to users, who are increasingly attracted by niche models. The first styling idea has come from the Alfa Romeo Style Centre which proposes a car certain to stir the emotions. This is an extreme version of a coupé with two bucket seats, which is svelte and aggressive. The car measures 4286 mm in length and 1859 in width. The wheelbase is 2600 mm while the track is 1577 mm at the front and 1602 mm at the rear. The smooth body lines suggest tautly muscled, thoroughbred wings and side panels. Overall, the Alfa Romeo Nuvola Concept displays a few pleasing retro touches (reminiscent of the 8c 2900, the 6c 2500 "Villa d'Este", the Giulietta Sprint Speciale and the 1900 Sprint) set against the backdrop of extremely up-to-date styling, honed to a perfect finish. The slender, horizontal tail-lights, for example, adopt state-of-the-art light-emitting diode technology. Big Michelin 235/40 ZR tyres are fitted on 18 inch wheels with a tread motif designed exclusively for Alfa Romeo. The bumpers are incorporated in the body (where they seem to vanish altogether) for a clutter-free line. The true appeal of this prototype lies in its return to the principle of a load-bearing chassis complete with mechanicals. Alfa Romeo could homologate its chassis in the future and make it available to body shops as a base for different bodies. These true custom-built or limited series cars satisfy the increasing demand for vehicle personalisation demonstrated by the success of niche models such as coupés, spiders, cabriolets, station wagons and MPVs. This configuration can be used as a foundation for a host of different shapes (coupés, 2+2 coupés, sport wagons, cabriolets, spiders and speedsters) and different materials can also be employed. Resulting vehicles would be easy to homologate because the chassis and mechanicals have already been guaranteed by the Manufacturer itself (in the past, homologation problems brought about the demise of the custom-built car market). Any interesting models deemed to be in keeping with the Alfa Romeo spirit could end up bearing an Alfa badge and be marketed through the sales network. A return to the past naturally does not mean a return to the classic chassis with rails and crossmembers. It means a return to the layout used on the very first cars but re-interpreted to allow for new technologies. The extremely sporty body proposed by Alfa Romeo Style Centredesigners conceals a computer-designed grid-shaped spaceframe chassis built by welding together high strength steel sections. The solution ensures great lightness, high torsional rigidity, excellent driving comfort and maximum protection for occupants in case of impact. This type of structure may be built using simple, inexpensive technologies such as spot welding and also lends itself to easy modification with little investment. The Alfa Romeo Nuvola Concept is more than a mere concept car or styling exercise. It is an engineering model that can be used to examine the possibility of offering a quick, inexpensive response to changing market needs for new niche and off-road vehicles. It is the ideal forerunner of a new generation of limited series sports cars, which could differ greatly from one another. It is no mere chance that the model has been designed using the working and engineering methods employed when developing standard-production models.

1970 Alfa Romeo Montreal

1970 Alfa Romeo Montreal


The Alfa Romeo Montreal was introduced as a concept car in 1967 at Montreal's Expo 67, for which it was named. It was a 2+2 coupe using the 1600 cc engine and chassis of the Alfa Romeo Giulia, with a body designed by Marcello Gandini at Bertone. The first production car was shown at the 1970 Geneva Motor Show and was quite different from the original, using a 2593 cc V8 engine with SPICA fuel injection that produced around 200 bhp, coupled to a five-speed ZF gearbox and a limited-slip differential. This engine dated back to the mid-1960s, having been used by Alfa Romeo in prototype racing and in the 33 Stradale. The chassis and running gear of the production Alfa Romeo Montreal were taken from the Alfa Romeo Giulia GTV coupé and comprised double wishbone suspension with coil springs and dampers at the front and a live axle with limited slip differential at the rear.

Alfa Romeo MiTo GTA Concept 2009

Alfa Romeo MiTo GTA Concept 2009


Alfa Romeo Mito GTA Concept, a concept of high performance of the new Alfa Romeo Mito, makes his 2009 debut at the Salon International de l'Automobile in Geneva. Designed using the experience with the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider 8C Competizione and the Alfa Romeo Mito GTA Concept shares for the exclusive "supercar" philosophy based on achieving the greatest driving pleasure, as a result of exceptional agility produced by a power -weight of a decent racing car. According to the famous GTA (Gran Turismo Alleggerito) signature, (Alleggerito a reduction of weight in Italian), the Alfa Romeo Mito GTA concept gives priority to reducing weight and achieving optimum power to weight ratio. Considerable work has been to lower the vehicle's center of gravity, so that certain components, such as the rear spoiler, roof fairings and mirror are in carbon fiber, while the aluminum is widely used in brakes, suspension, and in some parts of the chassis. Under the bonnet, a gasoline engine and new exciting, very much in line with the prerequisites of the reduction, environmental awareness, and offer high power and efficiency in exchange for light weight and improve packaging, Alfa Romeo Mito GTA powers Concept. Designed by Fiat Powertrain Technologies and exploitation of the vast experience in the production of dual spark and Alfa V6 engine and road race, the new compact gasoline engine uses advanced technical solutions for direct injection, dual variable valve timing, the state of the art turbocharging and advanced electronic management systems to produce a remarkable 240bhp just 1742cc. Under-floor aerodynamics have been of particular concern, while the whole car has been reduced by some 20mm. Uses new front suspension geometry leader in aluminum arms, while the rear suspension has all new bushings, and comprehensively revised chassis has an "active" suspension system (shock of advanced control), which counteracts the charge transfer under acceleration, the rear end stiffness and maximize traction. Alfa Romeo Mito GTA Concept suspension system also interacts with the braking and steering to get the most efficient control of the dynamics of the vehicle, while a "sky-hook" function ensures an excellent level of passenger comfort in terms of daily use.

Alfa Romeo GT Q2 2007


Alfa Romeo presents the self-locking front differential ('Q2'), which improves all the strong points of a front-wheel drive system in terms of active safety, increasing driving enjoyment and control. The innovative system provides some of the advantages typical of four-wheel drive, but at a significantly lower cost and weight. The system is now available exclusively with the 150 bhp JTDM engine on the Alfa Romeo 147 and Alfa Romeo GT, but will subsequently be extended to other models in the Alfa Romeo range. It is a step forward that reflects the current state of the art of turbodiesel technology which, since 1997, the year that the Alfa Romeo 156 JTD was launched (the first car to adopt Common Rail technology), has seen a considerable increase in torque delivery to the wheels even on compact cars. Alfa Romeo has developed the sophisticated 'Q2' system to guarantee maximum control and traction in all driving conditions.
