A passion
for our future.
It’s our ambition to make hearts beat a little
faster. To be the dream of every young
enthusiast, doodling on the margins of their
school exercise books. And to provide the
fulfilment of that dream to those discerning
drivers who share our obsession with driving.
From the ultimate in Alfa Romeo exclusivity,
the Alfa 8C Competizione, to the new Alfa
MiTo, an Alfa Romeo will always be more
than just a way of getting from A to B.
If you share our passion, it’s time you
took the wheel of an Alfa Romeo.

A pride
in our past.
When Nicola Romeo acquired Anonima
Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili – ALFA – in
1919, he had a clear vision of the cars he
wanted to make.
Within a year, Alfa Romeo had been driven to
victory at Mugello by Giuseppe Campari, and
had come second in the Targa Florio with a
certain Enzo Ferrari at the wheel.
Almost a century later, our vision remains
unchanged: to make cars of the highest
engineering integrity that will delight all
those who love driving.

Design
If the name of the Alfa 8C Competizione
recalls the days of Alfa Romeo racing
victories in the Mille Miglia, its styling
echoes some of the sensuous Alfa Romeo
coupés of the 50s and 60s. Yet the
design concept of the 8C Competizione,
led by Centro Stile Alfa Romeo, is
unashamedly forward-looking; lean,
muscular, it’s an Alfa Romeo
supercar for the 21st century.
Performance
The Alfa 8C Competizione is powered by
a 90˚ cross-plane V8 engine, dry sumped
and with a capacity of 4.7 litres, for
shattering performance. It produces
450bhp at 7000rpm, with a peak torque
of 480Nm, delivering 0–62mph
acceleration of 4.2 seconds and a top
speed of 180mph. The six-speed
transmission is activated by steering
wheel-mounted paddles,
with a gearshift time in Sport mode
of 175 milliseconds.
Features
The Alfa 8C Competizione coupé is a
limited edition of 500, all of which have
been allocated to buyers. The bodywork
of the 8C Competizione is made of
carbon fibre on a steel chassis for
exceptional strength and torsional
rigidity. At the 2005 Pebble Beach
Concours d’Elegance Alfa Romeo
previewed a Spider version of the
8C Competizione. In March 2008 it
was announced a production of 500
would take place, again all have been
allocated to buyers.
8C
8C Competizione & 8C
“The Spider is an achingly beautiful
car – a stunning, proper, drop-dead
drop top, arguably even more
sensuous and dramatic than the
8C Competizione coupé that
preceded it.”

Design
From the 1960s Duetto that starred in
The Graduate to today’s Alfa Spider,
nothing evokes the delight of open-air
motoring like a convertible Alfa Romeo.
The Alfa Spider, stablemate to the
Giugiaro-designed Alfa Brera coupé, was
the work of Alfa Romeo Centro Stile and
Pininfarina. The elegant tail echoes the
design of the Giulietta Spider of the
1950s, a genuine icon in automotive
history. Launched at the 2006 Geneva
Motor Show, the Alfa Spider immediately
took the 2006 Geneva Motorshow
‘Cabrio of the Year’ award.
Performance
The Alfa Spider is offered with a choice
of two petrol engines: the 2.2-litre JTS,
producing 185bhp, and the legendary
3.2-litre V6, which transmits its 260bhp
to the road via either a front-wheel drive
or advanced four-wheel drive Q4 version.
Owners can also specify the torquey 2.4
M diesel engine, which produces
JTD
210bhp. The suspension features high
wishbones at the front and multilink at
the rear for maximum lateral stability,
responsive handling and precise, linear
control. An automatic gearbox is
available on selected versions.
Features
The fabric roof of the Alfa Spider gives
it head-turning visual appeal, roof up
or down, and is far more space-efficient
than the folding metal roofs of rival
models. Inside, driver and passenger
will find supportive, comfortable sports
seats, dual-zone automatic climate
control and an exceptional audio system,
with the option of a Bose sound system.
Also optional is Blue&Me™, an
innovative system with voice recognition,
that lets you use your Bluetooth®
compatible mobile phone and listen to
your favourite music from an MP3 player
or any other mass storage device with a
USB connection.

Fifth Gear
Design
When Giorgetto Giugiaro unveiled an
Alfa Romeo concept car at the 2002
Geneva Motor Show, the crowds around
the stand were soon ten deep.
Remarkably, Alfa Romeo took the
stunning design through to production,
debuting the Alfa Brera coupé in 2006.
Low, sleek and bearing the characteristic
Alfa Romeo ‘shield’ grille, the Alfa Brera
represents a bold new era of Italian
GT design.
Performance
The Alfa Brera 3.2, with its 260bhp V6
engine, available as a front-wheel drive
or as an innovative Q4 Torsen four-wheel
drive system, represents the ultimate in
Alfa Romeo performance. But the
Alfa Brera has two equally impressive
stablemates. The smooth, high-revving
2.2 JTS hits 62mph in 8.6 seconds,
compared to 6.8 seconds for the 3.2,
and the fuel-efficient 2.4 JTD
manages the same benchmark sprint in
7.9 seconds. An automatic gearbox is
available on selected versions.
Features
As with every Alfa Romeo, the interior of
the Alfa Brera is driver focused, with the
instrument panel angled towards the
driver. But passengers, too, will find the
Alfa Brera a delightful place for grand
touring. The optional panoramic glass
roof with electrically operated blind
admits plenty of light and the stylish
through-console gives the cabin a
cockpit-like ambience. Practicality is
not forgotten, with rear seats that can
be folded down to extend the luggage
compartment from 300 to 610 litres.

“The 159 drives and feels like no

159 & 159 Sportwagon
Design
In a sector dominated by derivative
design and executive car clones, the
Alfa 159 saloon and Sportwagon stand
out. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro in
collaboration with the Alfa Centro Stile,
the Alfa 159 features the distinctive Alfa
shield grille, V-shaped bonnet line and a
high, rising waistline that accentuates its
performance intent.
Performance
There are three petrol-engined models in
the Alfa 159 range, all featuring direct
injection, and two second-generation
common-rail diesels. The diesel-engined
M saloon reaches 62mph in 8.1
2.4 JTD
seconds yet returns 41.5mpg combined.
Its stablemate, the 1.9 JTDM 16v returns
47.9mpg combined, with CO2 emissions
of 159 g/km. All three petrol engines,
a 1.8 MPI with 140bhp, a 2.2 16v with
185bhp and a 3.2 V6 with 260bhp,
employ state of the art direct injection
technology and variable valve timing
on both inlet and exhaust camshafts.
Both the 2.4 JTDM and 3.2 V6 engines
are available in either front wheel drive
or the advanced four-wheel drive Q4
system. A Q-Tronic automatic gearbox is
also available on selected versions.
Features
The exceptionally stiff bodyshell of the
Alfa 159 contributes to its outstanding
handling and ride quality. It’s also the
reason why the Alfa 159 saloon has a
top-rated Euro NCAP five-star rating.
Alfa 159 models are lavishly equipped,
including Alfa Romeo’s unique Blue&Me™
system for on-board communication,
information and personal entertainment
as standard on Lusso and TI versions.

“The Alfa GT is a handsome beast
and looks rather special. It feels
special, too.”
Top Gear magazine
Design
Designed by Bertone, the Alfa GT is
low, sleek, poised and features the
characteristic Alfa Romeo V-shaped
bonnet line, shield grille and muscular
profile. With its versatile seating and
space for four, the Alfa GT represents
a unique combination of practicality,
performance and style.
Performance
The Alfa GT is offered with either the 2.0
JTS petrol engine or the 1.9 JTD
diesel. Both give the lithe Alfa GT
excellent performance and fuel
efficiency; the 2.0 JTS hits 62mph
in 8.7 seconds whilst its diesel
stablemate is a mere 0.9 seconds
behind at 9.6 seconds. The front double
wishbone suspension and rear multi-link
set up provides outstanding handling,
feedback and roadholding, as you would
expect of an Alfa Romeo. A 1.8 TS
engine is also available on selected
special edition versions of the Alfa GT.
Features
The Alfa GT offers astonishing value for
money and practicality, with space for four
and the fold-down rear seats offering a
surprising amount of space. Luxuries like
cruise control, Dual-zone climate control,
electrically adjustable, heated and folding
rear mirrors are all standard, along with
Vehicle Dynamic Control for extra
assurance and safety at the limit. The
Alfa GT Q2 version offers the additional
performance enhancement of an Alfaengineered limited slip differential.

Design
The Alfa 147 was created by Walter da
Silva and Wolfgang Egger, and its
sporting style puts it in a different league
to the average hatchback. Contemporary
Italian design features both inside and
out includes striking headlight clusters,
which accentuate the signature shield
grille with its five metal bars topped by
the famous Alfa Romeo badge. The Alfa
147 is available either in three or five
door versions.
Performance
The Alfa 147 upholds the Alfa Romeo
tradition of delivering a more rewarding
driving experience, whichever model you
choose. Petrol engines include the 1.6
Twin Spark and 2.0 Twin Spark, each of
which features two spark plugs per
cylinders for optimum combustion
efficiency. The 1.9 JTD
16v diesel engines use Multijet
technology to combine refinement with
economy. The Alfa 147 1.9 JTDM 16v
can also be specified with the
Alfa Romeo Q2 limited slip differential
to deliver enhanced road-holding
and performance.
Features
Luxuriously appointed, the Alfa 147
standard features include 16" alloy
wheels, cruise control and leather
steering wheel and gear knob. Optional
features include Dual-zone climate
control and leather upholstery. With its

Described as the most compact sports car
Alfa Romeo has ever made, the MiTo was
designed by the Centro Stile studios in
Milan, and will be built in Torino (Turin);
these two cities provide the inspiration for
the name. Head on, the striking frontal
aspect of the MiTo shares distinct design
cues with its high-performance supercar
stablemate, the 8C Competizione. With its
frameless side windows, distinctive
V-shape bonnet line and muscular
haunches, the Alfa MiTo is clearly a
thoroughbred Alfa Romeo, despite its
compact dimensions.
Performance
The sporting new Alfa MiTo is due for
international launch in July 2008, with righthand drive models expected in the UK in
early 2009. Both petrol and diesel engines
will be offered, ranging in power output
from 90bhp to 155bhp. All models will
come as standard with Alfa’s new D.N.A
chassis system. Three settings – Dynamic,
Normal and All-Weather – adjust the
engine, brakes, steering, suspension
and gearbox to suit the conditions.
Features
The MiTo may be compact, but it’s
lavishly equipped with the latest safety
and convenience features. The design of
the dashboard is avant-garde and there’s
plenty of opportunity to personalise the
MiTo to your tastes – you can even
change the headlight and tail light
surrounds for a more individual look.
Other highlights include 7 airbags, Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) with Hill Holder,
and LED rear lights, making the MiTo
arguably the best equipped car in its class.
For more information about the sensational new
MiTo please check out www.alfaromeo.co.uk or
ask your Alfa Romeo franchised dealer.

Competition.
The spirit of
Alfa Romeo.
From Nuvolari to Fangio, and from Ascari
to Tarquini, some of the world’s greatest
drivers have sat in the driving seat of
an Alfa Romeo. For almost a century
the distinctive Alfa Romeo badge has
taken the chequered flag at innumerable
road races, Grand Prix championships,
touring car races and endurance races.
Because the spirit of adventure still burns
strongly at Alfa Romeo, we also support
other great competitors, whether on
Ducati superbikes, the athletics track,
the ski slopes or out on the ocean waves.
Competition: it’s part of the Alfa Romeo
DNA, and always will be.
