The birth of the Alfa Romeo in 1910 was a significant lesson of how cooperation and teamwork can bring the most significant inventions to life. Cavalier Ugo Stella’s acquisition of a French vehicle manufacturer plant in Italy, paved the way for Cavalier to open the first facility named Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili (Lombard Automobile Factory, Public Company). Here’s a fun fact: that’s how the first part of the vehicle’s name came into existence!
After some significant time manufacturing cars, Alfa Romeo entered the racing scene through the creation of the Alfa Grand Prix. With a top speed of 87 miles per hour, the car became a staple. It was also the first vehicle that had twin spark ignition in its design. Then, the war happened.
The first World War, of course, had a significant effect on Europe as a whole. As it went on, Alfa Romeo was forced to put their manufacturing on hold. As the years went by, it became much more about maintaining the safety of Europe’s people than it was about designing new cars for the public.
It was a tumultuous time for Alfa Romeo, and ownership of the company transferred to Nicola Romeo (hence the second part of the company’s name). The company became public with its new moniker in 1918, with manufacturing resuming soon after in 1919. More and more cars went on to be instrumental forces in the racing world and beyond. Many racing champions have owned or raced an Alfa Romeo. To this day, aspects of racing such as streamlined design, elegance, and balance get integrated into each Alfa Romeo vehicle.
Alfa Romeo also stepped into the modern vehicle landscape a bit with the development of the Stelvio SUV in 2018. It is the best representation of Alfa Romeo yet, combining the classic design of vehicles past with current technology and vehicle industry focus.
