We cling to Alfa Romeos, we devotees, not because they are the fastest cars ever engineered or the best-handling or the most beautiful — though they may be. What makes an Alfa Romeo distinct, apart from the sensuous lines endowed by incomparable Pininfarina, Italdesign, Bertone and Centro Stile designs, is the car’s relationship to the road. An Alfa is meant to be driven, not coddled, collected, or coiffed into concours d’elegance condition.
Each car retains the outline, the ghost, of the first Alfa — built by hand. It is a production vehicle that manages to be more than the combined result of assembly-line efficiency and design genius. We get behind the wheel of an Alfa, with its stiff ride and throaty roar, because we still want the road to be our adversary, not an ever wider, ever smoother, ever straighter macadam pillow-top.
We love our Alfas because, like nature, they are powerful, unpredictable and unforgiving. They are a chore, and they make the blood come to life.
Så ta driftssikkerheten, annenhåndsverdien, 0-100-tiden og den opplevde kvaliteten og putt den et sted sola ikke skinner.
Love,
Luigi
