Overall Brand Impression: 

Alfa Romeo is an unmistakably Italian auto brand that proudly admires in the design and performance of their 2024 model lineup. Joining the Giulia and Stelvio in the marque’s vehicle portfolio is the Tonale compact crossover.


What’s New for 2024: 

An all-new model for the 2024 model year, the Alfa Romeo Tonale has been for sale in Canada through much of 2023. The Tonale features a youthful, athletic exterior style combined with a satisfyingly high amount of standard content including a 12.3-inch driver cluster, 10.25-inch center touchscreen as well as high-tech safety features including adaptive cruise control and Traffic Sign Recognition. The Alfa Romeo Tonale also launched as the first car to incorporate an NFT (non-fungible token) digital certificate that evolves with the vehicle’s life. The 2.0-turbocharged four-cylinder or a plug-in hybrid combining a 1.3-turbocharged engine with a 90 kW electric motor is available propulsion for the 2024 Alfa Romeo Tonale. 

A host of special edition schemes will be marketed across the Alfa Romeo product lineup for 2024. Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio models are being sold with a Carbon Edition. With only 130 combined examples being sold in North America, Carbon Edition involves a host of carbon fiber trim components. The 2024 Giulia sedan itself boasts the will-appointed Competizione model equipped with a Harman Kardon sound system, darker privacy glass and a unique Moonlight Gray matte exterior colour. A 100th Anniversary Quadrifoglio Edition is also part of the Alfa Romeo Giulia’s lineup. All three 2024 Alfa Romeo models will be offered as a special Tributo Italiano edition model. A limited-run edition being made available globally for the first time, Tributo Italiano models will be exclusively released in a trio of colours shared with the Italian flag (Rosso Alfa, Verde Monteal and Bianco Alfa) accompanied with ta black roof. Alfa Romeo’s 2024 Tributo Italiano vehicles will come well-equipped with features including perforated leather seats with red accents and a 14-speaker audio system.

Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale (Estimated 1.7-million euros or $2.497 million Canadian): Expected to enter production midway in 2024 is Alfa Romeo’s modern tribute to a classic 1967 33 Stradale. The all-new Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale is a deeply alluring exotic supercar. The strong aesthetic beauty of the two-seat machine is both purposeful and artistic with incorporating tightly balanced aerodynamics, wraparound sunroof, active suspension and an interior control layout echoing back to 1960s race car cockpits. Each one of the 33 production examples of the 33 Stradale has already been sold with the future owners said to have intimately guided the vehicle’s final design through the Alfa Romeo Bottega creative department. Another standout quality of the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale is the availability of two powerplant options; a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 gasoline engine producing 620 horsepower and a fully electric powertrain generating an estimated 750 horsepower.

A Canadian Star Car: Red Green's Possum Van

Clip of Possum Van during a Red Green Show season 1 scene transition.  It could be argued that the car someone regularly drives can be reflective of their personality. The level of character traits found in our automobiles can range from subtle to flamboyant as practicality, style, power, brand loyalty and other details are factors influencing our vehicle affection. On the big screen and silver screen, an automobile (frequently popularized as a Star Car) can be used to affirmatively to expand on a human character. Batman’s Batmobile, the Dodge Charger called the ‘General Lee’ in Dukes of Hazzard, the Volvo P1800 featured in the 1960s television version of The Saint, the Aston Martin DB5 driven by James Bond in some of the most famous spy movies are some popular examples where vehicles play a major role in reinforcing the appearance of fictional individuals. Due to the budgetary constraints of Canadian media productions, the presence of native Star Cars is rare. However, one success...

Honda’s Secret 30th Anniversary In Indy Car Racing

Photo Credit: Engine Developments Ltd. Too many times, forgetting an anniversary would end with someone spending time in the proverbial doghouse. This has apparently happened this year as the 2016 Verizon IndyCar Series season concluded with no major celebrations or recognition for what is 30 years since a major current partner of American open wheel racing began participation in the sport. The following article is a collection of the details I’ve learned as well as some insight from engine builder John Judd on what was a quiet 30th anniversary in the Verizon IndyCar Series. During the week where the 30th running of the Canadian street race now known as the Honda Indy Toronto, I was compelled to capture the flavour of the inaugural event. The viewing experience provided me some insight into a period of time where I was too young to absorb auto racing in the manner I do today. A race that featured television coverage with no regular onscreen statistics, the league used a local ...

The 1967 Indy 500: When An STP-Sponsored Turbine Almost Changed Racing

Photo Credit: Uncredited Photographer/IMS LLC Racing has always been the ultimate proving ground for automobiles. Not only has competition promoted innovations big and small, race cars have also influenced overall vehicle appearance. At the 1967 Indianapolis 500, the STP-Paxton TurboCar fielded by the late Andy Granatelli provided a shocking example of how much racing at the speedway evolved over 56 years. Ever since the first 500-mile event was held at the 2.5-mile rectangular oval Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1911, the winning Marmon Wasp with a rearview mirror paved the way for what would be a grand showcase of automotive development. Accompanying “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing,” advancements in automobile technology showed greater sophistication with every passing decade in the quest for more speed. During the 1920s and 1930s, American race car designer Henry Miller offered groundbreaking engines to the Indianapolis 500. Miller also gave front-wheel drive technology it...
