Her body was styled by Pininfarina, the same
Italian design studio that penned many Ferraris.
Her cockpit sports other charms shared by
those vehicles donning the famed prancing horse: the
straight-arm, bent-knee Italian driving position; sumptuous,
tanned Italian leather; and circular, rotatable vents,
the type that Italians prize.
Her powertrain layout is classic, with a racy overhead-cam
engine in front powering a well-controlled live-axle setup
in the rear, matched by disc brakes all around.
And yet, her soul is uniquely Alfa: a descendent of a race-bred
pedigree imbued with tradition, elegance, and passion; the type
that gets one's pulse beating just a little bit quicker and
the mind conjuring up the possibilities...
"Because beauty is not enough" is her automaker's motto. This
is, after all, a romance... A Romance named Alfa Romeo.
