since its inception, alfa's goal of making cars is to produce high-performance sports cars and sports cars. In its development history since its establishment, Alfa's cars have indeed lived up to its mission. From the 192s, it participated in Mugello Competition, the World Cup gp, and the first single-seat gp racing car p3 in the 193s set up a typical racing car at that time, and the 158/159 racing car that swept the world in the 195s. From the beginning, the company was famous for producing sports cars and racing cars. These cars were designed by famous Italian designers, with strong Italian style, elegant modeling and superior performance, and have always enjoyed a high reputation in the world car world. Although it is now a subsidiary of FIAT, it still retains its trademark. Alfa's achievements in motor racing are excellent; In the field of cars, there is no doubt that Alfa's cars have a strong sports car style. Especially in recent years, Alfa has faded out of various events, but it is more focused on applying racing car manufacturing technology to the design and production of cars.
Edit this story of car emblem
In p>191, when Alfa Romeo was founded, the founder created a logo by combining two symbols of Milan: the red cross was part of the shield badge of Milan to commemorate the Crusaders in the ancient crusade, and the pattern of biscoine, a man-eating snake, came from the family emblem of an ancient local aristocratic family (visconti family), symbolizing medieval Milan. The combination of two symbols representing Milan tradition and unrelated in meaning has become one of the most famous symbols in the automobile industry. Later, the words Alfa Romeo and Milan, as well as the spacing patterns, were added, and subtle changes were constantly taking place in the development history of more than a hundred years. The latest change happened in 1971. The dragon snake became concise and abstract, the style of the logo was modernized, the hyphen between Alpha and Romeo was cancelled, and most importantly, the word "MILAND" disappeared. Does this mean that some exclusive local complex is weakening and will be replaced by a more open mind? Just like this logo, Alfa Romeo's style is so special, with a return to history in the modern style, implying constant innovation and technical perfection, with a poetic name, just like an elf in a dream. Italian critic Wuberto Eco once said: "If other countries create design theory, then Italy creates design philosophy, or an idea." In this "country of design", sexy fashions, furniture and top-class sports cars abound ... Outstanding design makes cars no longer just a means of transportation, but a symbol of dreams and the entrance to the paramore world-Alfa Romeo is undoubtedly one of the best.

The philosophy of making cars with fine cars and strong sports cars
a.l.f.aRomeo-8C-Spider
Ugo Zagato, who was born and raised in the slums of Milan, seized the opportunity of the budding and vigorous development of automobiles and founded the Anomina Lombarda Fabbrica Automobile Factory on June 24, 191. Enkatu is called the "natural hero" of the car industry because he can take into account the actual financial balance while pursuing high performance, so he produces cars to supplement the huge funds for the research and development of sports cars, and then transfers them to manufacture cars with the advanced technology of successful sports car development, which has laid the entrepreneurial car-making philosophy of "cars are fine and sports cars are strong" in Alpha Car Factory, and avoided the bad luck of being merged like other car factories that focus on producing sports cars. The company chose the glorious totem of Milan City-the shield emblem of Milan Autonomous Region with the Red Cross on a white background and the dragon shield emblem of Milan Vis Contil family to merge into a brand-new symbol of Alpha Car Factory. I hope that after inheriting the glorious history of Milan, we can continue to carry it forward and make shine on you. Therefore, the words "alfa" and "milano" are embedded in the case of heaven and earth in the circular pattern, so as to be alert at any time not to insult Milan's brilliant tradition. For more than 8 years, the excellent performance of Alfa cars can indeed compete with its totem. 24hp is the pioneering work of Alpha Car Factory, which is full of Italian romantic and classical flavor and sells smoothly, bringing great opportunities for Alpha Car Factory. After July 1913, a series of successful sports cars were rolled off the production line-P2, p3, 158 and other super sports cars. On the track, "Alpha is synonymous with high performance" was quickly branded as an immortal victory mark. By 1915, Nicola Romeo, an industrialist from Naples, a big port in the south of Italy, joined the operation of Alfa Car Factory. In the same year, when the First World War broke out, Italy was involved in the war, and the 24hp car was also called up to serve as a carrier of personnel and ordnance. Later, the situation was tight and the Alpha car factory was forced to stop production.
The glorious record of dominating the racing industry
In p>1918, when the war ended and Italy broke away from dictatorship, the management body of Alfa Car Factory changed for the first time. Nikolai mastered the management right, rebuilt the factory in the embers of the war, and embedded his surname in the factory emblem, becoming "Alfa Romeo", from then on, he launched a glorious campaign to dominate the racing industry. Alfa Romeo Tz3 Corsa
In 192, Alfa Romeo driver Campari drove the classic Alfa Romeo sports car and won the 23-mile race in Mugello, Italy, which was the first trophy of Alfa Romeo. Located between Bologna and Florence, Mujiro Circuit, with a 41-mile track, is recognized as a difficult arena in the car world, and Alfa Romeo won the first battle, and his peers only sighed with admiration. In 1924, Cambari won the gold medal in the French Lane GP Competition by driving a p2 racing car. Turio Zano, a designer from FIAT, designed the p2 racing car for Alfa Romeo Car Factory in 1924. The p2 racing car with 1987 ml in-line eight-cylinder engine was really a "small witch" among the racing cars with thousands or tens of thousands of ml at that time, but the powerful 14 horsepower (12.9 kW) won the Belgian race in 1925. In order to celebrate this honor, Alfa Romeo Car Factory set a circle of victory laurels around the cherished car emblem, and from then on, it went to glory road in Chang Shengjun. The brave record of p2 car lasted until 1929, and the impact of the world economic crisis forced the team to temporarily withdraw from the racing field. Sc 23 (1932), the second masterpiece of Wei turio, combines Milan's elegant style with a powerful engine and efficient transmission system that Alfa Romeo is proud of, making this luxury car a pet that the European upper class rushed to buy, and was later selected as a car by Mussolini, often accompanying him to inspect the army or go in and out of the war. On the Moznza circuit in Italy, the sc23 temporarily replaced the tuxedo and easily won several major trophies with fierce competition.
Set an unprecedented record in GP competition
Alfa 8C Competizione(22 pieces) p3 sports car. Alfa Romeo's manufacturer's code name is Type B Monoposts. It joined the competition in 1932. The p3 sports car with 8 cylinders and 26 ml engine was the first truly single-seat GP racing car, which set a new example for this international competition. After p3 came out, it won almost all the races in those years. There is another interesting anecdote about p3 sports car, that is, in 1935, subgrade Baqi designed a p3 sports car with two engines in order to win the championship and break the record. He installed engines at the front and rear of the driver's seat. Theoretically speaking, this double horsepower design should produce amazing speed, but he has never seen the actual movement of this p3 sports car with two engines. However, this concept, however, Replacing p3 sports car Yangwei circuit, it is Alfa Romeo 158 (1938), with an eight-cylinder 15ml engine and supercharger, which can output 195 horsepower (143.32kW). Wherever it goes, many cars are invincible. It is the "big wolf in sheep's clothing" that fans and racers stare at each other! In 194, the GP competition held in Tripoli, the capital of Libya in North Africa, Alfa Romeo 158 sports car won the last GP competition in Europe before the end of World War II. During World War II, the 158 sports car was carefully preserved until 1944, when Italy was defeated and Mussolini's dictatorship came to an end, and Alfa Romeo's 158 sports car reappeared on the track. However, the factory emblem on the front of the car has been replaced by a wavy line representing the new democracy. This is the fourth time that Alfa Romeo has changed the factory emblem. Alfa Romeo's motorcade, which had been hidden for nearly six years, came back in 1946 and was improved from a 158-type sports car. It had 425 amazing horsepower (312.37 kW) of a 159-type sports car, held a GP contest in Geneva, and won the championship at a speed of 13.16 km/h on a difficult runway around buildings. Alfa Romeo, which consists of 158/159 sports cars, played 35 GPs from 1946 to 1948 and from 195 to 1951, and won 31 championship trophies, including the first two championships of the latest F1 Grand Prix. In addition to turio, who designed the sports car, Enzo Ferrari, another genius in the car world, laid a good foundation when he was the manager of Alfa Romeo's team in the 192s, which is also an important item in the credit book.
The application of scientific and technological innovation on the track
Unlike other automobile brands, Alfa Romeo has been racing since the factory was founded, and only temporarily withdrew from the track after the end of the ETCC season in 27, during which the team was in Targa Florio, Mille Miglia1 Mile Endurance, Le Mans 24 Hours Endurance, European GP Grand Prix (predecessor of F1 Grand Prix), F1 World Championship, World Sports Car Championship, Trans. After nearly a hundred years' long campaign, Alfa Romeo has accumulated rich competition experience, and at the same time, it has innovated countless design technologies and introduced them into various models launched. Therefore, Alfa Romeo can be said to be a pioneer in global automotive technology. Many of the designs that are widely used in today's mass production models originated from Alfa Romeo's early inventions. Merosi and the world's first DOHC engine
In 1914, Merosi designed the world's first DOHC engine for Alfa Romeo. In 1927, Jano created the first six-cylinder engine, and then further developed the designs of Superchange supercharge, integrated cylinder head and closed gear ratio gearbox. Alfa Romeo after World War II, Under the design of many famous designers, four-wheel disc brakes, Monocogue safety structure body, four-wheel independent suspension and the world's first five-speed gearbox have been added to automobile history. In 1972, Alfetta took the lead in applying deDion Dai Di rear suspension and the configuration of front engine rear gearbox with average weight distribution: this revolutionary design greatly improved the grip and high-speed cornering of front engine car.
