Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce review: a very Italian affair
(Alfa Romeo)
I didn’t ‘get’ Alfa Romeo until the Giulia Veloce launch in 2017. My Damascene conversion took place at the Museo Storico near Turin, where many of the great cars from the marque’s history are on show. And what a history it has!
There’s the 1935 Bimotore, a racer with two 270hp straight-eight engines that even Alfa’s official guide book describes as ‘cantankerous and difficult to tame’. Or the Disco Volante (‘Flying Saucer’ in English), a voluptuous vision of the future from 1952. Or the wild, wedge-shaped 1968 Carabo concept, which inspired the Lamborghini Countach.
