Alfa Romeo has been making automobiles since 1906. The company was acquired by Fiat in 1986.

Alfa Romeo History

The Alfa Romeo name dates back to 1906 and the Darraq brand cars built in France. Allesandro Darraq wanted to supply the Italian market with taxis, so he imported Darraq cars from France. In 1909 his garage was taken over by the Italian company ALFA (Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili). In 1911, Italian industrialist Nicola Romeo took over ALFA and in 1918 that company reorganized into Alfa Romeo S.p.A.

A young Enzo Ferrari joined Alfa Romeo in 1920 as a test driver, and the marque began to establish its reputation through its great racing record during the 1920's and 1930's.

1910 - The company is founded as Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili.

1918 - Named changed to Società Anonima Italiana Ing. Nicola Romeo & Company.

1959 - Alfa Rome signs an agreement to furnish chassis platforms and engines to Zagato for production of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ which features a shorter wheelbase and a 100 bhp engine. Alfa displays the car at the Geneva Motor Show in 1960.

1963 - Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ production ends after 169 round-tail and 44 square-tail cars were built.

1991 - At the Geneva Motor Show the Alfa Proteo prototype is displayed. The Proteo is based on the Alfa 164 sedan with the V6 engine tuned to 260 bhp and featuring both four-wheel drive and steering. The body styling is very close to that which will be used on the Alfa Spider which will be designed three years later.

1995 - The new Alfa Spider goes on sale.
