Tires on Alfa Romeo (Альфа Ромео)

The Italian company Alfa Romeo was founded by Frenchman Alexandre Darracq on June 24, 1910, in Milan. In addition to him, Italian engineers Nicola Romeo and Ugo Stella took part in the creation of the world-famous automaker. Almost immediately after its creation, the company paid much attention to car racing. Already in 1911, the first Alfa Romeos took part in competitions on two models of 24 HP. Further, cars of this brand participated in all significant car racing competitions and championships, from Formula 1 Grand Prix to rally. In addition, Alfa Romeo was represented as a technical partner of a huge number of racing teams, in particular, supplying engines for their cars. And it was this brand that stood at the origins of the creation of Scuderia Ferrari. Until 1939, it was Alfa Romeo.

Development

In 1932, the company joined the state holding IRI, where it remained until the mid-1980s, overcoming one financial crisis after another. The brand experienced the biggest problems with popularity in the 1980s. Despite all efforts and commercial success of the Alfa Romeo 75 model, the company had to be acquired by a larger automaker, which became FIAT.

Innovations

During its existence, the company has introduced a large number of its own technological innovations. A significant part of them relates to engines. For example, as early as 1914, Alfa Romeo introduced a power unit with two camshafts and a cylinder head. This engine went into mass production in 1928 and was still one of the most technologically advanced products at that time. Another important innovation is the world's first fully electronic fuel injection system. In 1940, such an engine appeared in the Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 racing car. It is also worth noting the presence in the company's portfolio of the world's first passenger car with a diesel engine equipped with a Common Rail fuel system, which is now an industry standard.

Original design

In addition to engines, Alfa Romeo cars are known for their striking appearance. At different times, the design was developed by companies such as Bertone, Ital Design, Pininfarina, and Zagato. At the same time, in addition to the exterior, many solutions in this area were technically effective and were repeatedly copied by other car manufacturers. First of all, this is aerodynamics. In the 1960s, the company offered the Guilia model with a low aerodynamic drag coefficient. After its appearance, Toyota tried to reproduce this technology, releasing a whole line of models. In the 1980s, the Italian manufacturer switched to fully computer-aided design and production with minimal human involvement. This had a significant impact on the design, which featured many complex shapes. The first such model was the Alfa Romeo 164, after the appearance of which many manufacturers also switched to computer-aided design and automated production.
