The Unique Charm and Appeal of Alfa Romeo There are a lot premium and luxury brands out there. As much as those brands try to separate themselves apart from one another and claim uniqueness, a lot of the models tend to blend together into one vague mass notion of what constitutes a swanky ride. Alfa Romeo, on the other hand, is a brand that truly stands out from the competition. There are many elements that come together to contribute to this special Alfa Romeo magic. As a result, customers often ask us here at Palmen Alfa Romeo: what is it that makes Alfa Romeo so unique? more View Our New Alfa Romeo Inventory Contact Us The unique vibes of Alfa Romeo stem from three main sources: unique stylistic touches, prestigious heritage, and racing pedigree. Learn more about the Giulia and Stelvio models with these Alfa Romeo brochures. Unique Style Every Alfa Romeo model boasts a special identity and style conveyed via unique elements such as its distinctive grille and soaring engine note. Alfa Romeo doesn’t try to keep up with the Joneses of the luxury automobile world; rather, the designers staunchly do their own thing. As a result, adjectives you might not typically hear associated with vehicles, such as spicy, passionate, and emotional, come to mind and are often used in describing Alfa Romeo machines. Prestigious Heritage An element of Alfa Romeo that’s less immediately apparent than style, but is indeed suffused in every fiber of its creations, is the brand’s proud history. Starting way back with its founding in Milan in 1910, Alfa Romeo has produced many legendary machines and been associated with a venerable slew of famed engineers and design studios over the years. It’s clear, in looking at an Alfa Romeo vehicle, that our favorite automaker has been tirelessly perfecting its craft for quite a long time. Racing Pedigree Racing Pedigree The Alfa Romeo designers gain a lot of additional useful experience, along with a hefty dose of acclaim and prestige, through the brand’s involvement in motorsports. Over the years, Alfa Romeo has found success in various top racing competitions. The brand won 24 Hours of Le Mans four times, collected 17 European Touring Car Championships, and was victorious at the inaugural Formula One World Championship back in 1950.

Alfa-Romeo Giulia Name Pronunciation Guide It’s hard to resist the appeal of the Alfa-Romeo Giulia. This compact executive car boasts one-of-a-kind style and hot-blooded performance. Individuals come from miles around seeking out the unique experience that the Alfa-Romeo machine delivers. However, one hiccup in the Giulia experience comes from a language barrier. Alfa-Romeo is a proudly Italian brand, and the name Giulia is thoroughly rooted in the vernacular of that home nation. How is the name “Giulia” actually pronounced? more View Our New Alfa-Romeo Inventory Giulia is pronounced “Joo-Lee-Uh”; basically, it’s just like the English name “Julia.” Giulia is a girl’s name in Italian, coming from Italian and Latin origin meaning, “youthful.” These days, it’s beginning to be adopted in this spelling by English-speaking parents as well, including Debi Mazar of Entourage fame. Over the years, many famous individuals have had the name Giulia, most of whom were Italian. The name Giulia has been applied to three not-directly-related models produced by Alfa Romeo over the years. The first was a line of sporty four-door compacts produced from 1962 to 1978. Next came the Spider, Sprint and Sprint Speciale Giuliettas. Third is the executive car we know and love today, which was first unveiled in 2015. Ever Wonder: Has an Alfa-Romeo ever been featured in a movie car chase? Why did Alfa-Romeo choose the name Giulia? It’s rumored that the name Giulia was conceived for the model as a reference to Romeo and Juliet. In this theory, the Romeo part of the equation would obviously come from brand name: Alfa- Romeo. It’s a pretty romantic notion: one car named after two of the most famous lovers in popular culture. However, the origin of the name has never been explicitly revealed by Alfa-Romeo. There are three main tales of where the model name Giulia originated: A woman named Giorgia De Cousandier simply picked the name for reasons unclear. The model is named after Federico Fellini’s wife, Giulietta Masina. A bunch of Alfa Romeo bigwigs were in Paris and hanging out at a nightclub with Grand Prix driver Jean-Pierre Wimille in 1950. They encountered a Russian prince, who quipped, “You are eight Romeos, without even one Giulietta?” This quip inspired the Alfa-Romeo folks to propose the model name.

The shamrock badge on the Quadrofoglio models from Alfa Romeo is more than just a good luck symbol referencing the brand's history in racing. Some of the first genius designers and test drivers of the Alfa Romeo and Ferarri racing vehicles put the shamrock on the car, and it continues to make its appearance on new Alfa Romeo vehicles today. more Where Did the Alfa Romeo Shamrock Badge Come From? When Ferrari was hired by the Alfa Romeo brand, he brought his favorite brainstorming partner Sivocci and began to work on making faster, more aerodynamic vehicles. The factory testing racing team at Alfa Romeo included Sivocci, Ferrari, and two other drivers: Campari and Ascari. Of the four race testing drivers, Sivocci earned the fewest victories and after becoming so fed up with never having Lady Fortune on his side, he added a four-leaf clover to his vehicle's exterior. Read More: 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Engine Specs Soon after putting the clover onto his racing vehicle, Sivocci won the 1923 Targa Florio race and it was said that his source of good luck came from the eye-catching symbol. Not only did the symbol seem to offer good luck to the driver, but it made it easier for spectators to pick his car out of the group on the dusty racing roads of the early 1900's.
