The new  alfa romeo super speed cars

‘Exclusiveness and personality’ have always been distinctive features of the Alfa Romeo brand, a fact borne out by the broad choice of bodies, engines, exterior outfits, interior furnishings and options, enabling customers to order the car that meets their needs and their desire to be different.

To extend this broad choice even further, and in response to the growing number of requests from the market, Alfa Romeo has now developed the ‘Unique Alfa’ Customisation Programme, a new departure for the brand that will enable customers to make their cars even more refined and exclusive.

The Alfa Romeo Customisation programme has been available on the entire range for a couple of months, and was born out of the experience of the Alfa 8C Competizione, the model that the brand has chosen to define its strategies with precision and authority. One of the winning features of this lovely GT is the fact that it was conceived to cater for every whim of competent, refined customers, who wish to state their personality by the way they configure their car, transforming a car that is already exclusive into something unique. By the same principle, the ‘Unique Alfa’ Programme, the expression of the best Italian products, now extends this opportunity to the other Alfa Romeo models. Alfa Romeo is one of the most prestigious brands in motoring history, and it indubitably conjures up the art of Italian living, expressed in a perfect synthesis of tradition and modernity, heritage and the avant-garde, beauty and culture. And it is thanks to this propensity for art and beauty that the Alfa Romeo Customisation Programme has taken shape, developing into three different areas that identify the brand’s exclusive values and make its relationship with its customers unique.

The first area, known as ‘Vintage’, reinterprets Alfa Romeo tradition with elegance and modernity: intriguing colours that conjure up the Dolce Vita or victories on the world’s most prestigious racing circuits, chromatic treatments that recall the timeless emotion of the prestigious finish, and upholstery crafted with the care and precision typical of a craftsman’s workshop.

‘Collezione’ is the second area, which invites customers to explore the world of fashion and elegance. The interiors are designed to recreate a sensation of well-being and beauty, underlined by the materials chosen to give a feeling of sensory involvement: soft, perfumed leather covers the seats, facia, and panels; the stitching reveals and underlines the sinuous, elegant shapes; the real metal inserts propose different finishes. On the exterior, multi-layer lacquered paints give an extra touch of elegance to the lines of the body, drawing attention to the ornamental elements and the alloys with their luminous sparkle finish.

The third and final area of the ‘Unique Alfa’ programme is ‘TI’ (Turismo Internazionale), which obviously harks back to Alfa Romeo tradition, where racing and competitions have always played an important part in the development of cutting-edge technologies designed to guarantee the proverbial enjoyment of driving an Alfa Romeo, and safety in all driving conditions. The heritage of technological culture and a passion for the product have laid the foundations for the development of this area, which addresses customers who are particularly demanding where performance, dynamic behaviour and sporty personality are concerned, with mechanical components such as a low stance, boosted braking system, alloy wheels and high performance tyres. And in the immediate future, this exciting catalogue will also incorporate other features to raise the performance of the powerful Alfa Romeo engines even higher.

Driver profiles

John Surtees OBE
Born on: 11 February 1934

John Surtees is a virtuoso driver on both two and four wheels: the Brit remains the only person to have won World Championships on a motorcycle (many times over) and in Formula One. He was 500cc motorcycle World Champion in 1956 and from 1958 to 1960, as well as 350cc World Champion from 1958 to 1960. He won the Formula One World Championship in 1964. The son of a London motorcycle dealer, he enjoyed early success in sidecar racing with his father Vincent. He worked as an apprentice at Vincent's firm prior to joining the competition, Norton, as a works rider in 1955. Following his major triumphs on motorcycles, he switched to four wheels in 1960, at the age of 26, and seamlessly continued his successful career. In the late 1960s, he formed the Surtees Racing Organisation team, which was active in Formula One from 1970 to 1978. Due to his services to motorsport and charity, Surtees has been awarded an MBE and an OBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours list. In 1996, he was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame.


Paul Stewart
Born on: 29 October 1965

Former Formula racing driver Paul Stewart and the son of three-times Formula One World Champion Jackie Stewart achieved his initial motorsport successes in Formula Ford 2000. In 1988, he formed the Paul Stewart Racing team and competed in the British Formula Three Championship from 1989 to 1990 and in Formula 3000 from 1991 to 1993. During this period, he was the teammate of Marco Apicella in 1991, David Coulthard in 1992 and Gil de Ferran in 1993. Paul Stewart then retired from actively competing, instead focusing on various tasks as team manager from 1994. The team was Team Champion in Formula Three eight times (1992 to 1994 and 1996 to 2000). In 1996, he and Jackie Stewart formed Stewart Grand Prix, which competed in Formula One from 1997 to 1999. At the end of 1999, Ford took over the team, which was named Jaguar Racing for the 2000 season and ultimately continued as Red Bull Racing from 2005.

Bernd Schneider
Born on: 20 July 1964

Five-time DTM champion Bernd Schneider was born in 1964 in St. Ingbert (Saarland), Germany. He celebrated his initial racing successes in karting and Formula Three. Schneider also raced in Formula One and the Le Mans 24 Hours and took part in the FIA GT Championship (1997 title). DTM was the stage on which he achieved his most glorious victories. From 1992, Schneider drove for the AMG-Mercedes team. Having finished third in the overall ranking of the German Touring Car Championship in both 1992 and 1993, he finally won the 1995 championship title with the team. After DTM changed its name to the German Touring Car Masters in 2000, Schneider was champion in 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2006. He was also runner-up in 2002. Schneider is currently a test driver and brand ambassador for Mercedes-AMG.

Klaus Ludwig
Born on: 5 October 1949

Nicknamed “King Ludwig” by his fans, the German racing driver and three-time DTM champion Klaus Ludwig was born in Bonn in 1949. He began his motorsport career in the early 1970s by taking part in slalom racing , orienteering and touring car racing. His initial major successes included championship titles in the German Racing Championship ( DRM ) in 1979 and 1981 as well as victories in the Le Mans 24 Hours in 1979, 1984 and 1985. It was in 1985 that Ludwig switched to DTM, where he raced initially for Ford, winning his first title in 1988. In 1989, he joined the AMG-Mercedes team, with which in the years up to 1994 he won two championship titles (1992 and 1994, runner-up in 1991) with a total of 19 victories. In 1995 and 1996, he drove in the DRM for Opel Team Rosberg, after which he rejoined AMG-Mercedes and, together with Ricardo Zonta, won the driver's and team trophies in the 1998 International FIA GT Championship. Although he thereafter officially ended his motorsport career, Ludwig again raced in the new German Touring Car Masters in 2000, where he finished the season − and his racing career − in overall third place in a Mercedes-Benz CLK.
