Alfa Romeo Automobiles is an Italian car manufacturer based in Milan. They are world renowned for their top of the line sports cars and for their involvement in auto racing. They have been around since the early 1900s, and acquired a large amount of fame for their line of vehicles produced for the Italian police. The Panther is a sleek and aggressive looking car that the Italian police used starting in the 1960s.
Alfa Romeo has been at the forefront of vehicular technology for centuries. They were the original designers of the trademarked double overhead cam engine which has two camshafts located withing the cylinder head. One of the camshafts controls the intake valves and the other controls the exhaust valves.. Alfa Romeo also pioneered one of the first electric injector systems. This engine uses six electric injectors and is fed with a high pressure circulatory fuel pump mechanism. The Alpha Romeo Spider utilizes automated variable valve timing, which allows for the duration, timing, and lift of the engine's valves to be changed when the engine is running.
Alfa Romeo has commissioned the use of many prestigious Italian design companies such as Bertone and Giorgetto Giugiaro, among others, to create concept designs for their vehicle models. Recent models to come off of the production floor include the Alpha Romeo 159 and the Brera. The 159 model was awarded third place at the European Car of the Year awards of 2006.
Besides their prestigious consumer cars, Alpha Romeo is heavily involved in auto racing and concept cars. They have enjoyed success in designing and producing Formula One racecars and various prototypes. Many of their concept cars actually become roadworthy, a testament to their immaculate design protocols and stable construction.
Alpha Romeo has been around for over a century now, and they are still producing brawny, yet erotically curvaceous autos at the same rate as they were in the early 1900s. Their automobiles marry aesthetic beauty with brawny, inspired force, making them a must for any die hard car enthusiast.
