-Garrix Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 The brand was born in Italy in the first decade of the 20th century, specifically in 1910, the company founded in Milan by the industrialist Alexandre Darracq, was a car producing company named Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili and as the name was too long, the people he began to refer to her as ALPHA Among the investors was an industrialist and financier named Nicola Romeo, a skilled engineer who over the years becomes powerful within the Anonima Lombarda, in 1915 the engineer Romeo modifies the factory facilities of A.L.F.A. towards the production of war material. After the First World War, the facilities of A.L.F.A. They even served to make homemade cooking pots, and in 1920 Romeo, the strong man of the company, decided to merge the company - which he had been running for five years - with another of his companies called Società Anonima Ing.Nicola Romeo and thus create ALFA Romeo SpA company dedicated exclusively to the production of automobiles. In the second half of the eighties, ALFA Romeo became part of the FIAT Group conglomerate, in the first years of the 21st Century FIAT and all its subsidiaries -except Ferrari- are absorbed by a strange commercial agreement with General Motors, said agreement it lasts some years, and after dissolving, FIAT obtains a good amount of cash flow, and begins to reinvent itself, this evolution leads the Italian conglomerate to buy in 2014 the entire Chrysler Group LLC to form the company FCA (FIAT Chrysler Automobiles, for its acronym in English) The shield Before talking about the new ALFA Romeo SUV we also know a little about the conformation of its coat of arms and the grill emblematic elements present in the brand since it presents enigmas of the Italian heraldry, like the flag of Milan, a red cross, about a white background, at the other end we see "il biscone" a snake devouring a man, that is the coat of arms of the Visconti family, rooted in that Italian city since the time of the crusades. The iconic grill The Scudetto was first seen in the Alfa Romeo Freccia d'Oro of 1947 and since then the inverted isosceles triangle is present in each and every one of the ALFA Romeo models, whether in the days of FIAT, General Motors or FCA. Alfa Romeo Stelvio It is the first SUV of the Milanese brand, and its conceptualization took many years, since in the distant 2003 the concept called Kamal was presented at the Geneva Motor Show, just in those years was when the FIAT debacle came - General Motors then the An SUV project was kept in a drawer. We had to wait until the 2016 edition of the Los Angeles Auto Show to see the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, which was presented as model 2018, so we had to wait some more time to get to know it. The Stelvio is built on the platform called internally as Giorgio, which also gives structure to the Gulia, which as you remember we had to test in its rabid version in our special Best of Autocosm of 2017 To the domestic market comes the Ti version, which is the intermediate, the Sport versions (L4 2.0 liters of 280 Hp) that we could consider the input and the top of the range, Stelvio QV (Quadrifoglio Verde V6 2.9 L Biturbo 509 Hp ) will arrive in the fourth quarter of 2018.
