Alfa Romeo is an Italian car manufacturer. The company was founded in 1910 in Milan and predominantly focuses on the sports and luxury car range. Alfa Romeo has been involved in various areas of motorsport since 1911 - including Grand Prix and Formula One.
In the 1960s Alfa Romeo designed cars specifically for the Italian police and Carabinieri (an arm of the Italian armed forces), and have long since remained the manufacturer of choice for Italian government and police. In the 1980's the company experienced some financial problems, and were subsequently bought into the Fiat Group in 1986.
Today Alfa Romeo is seen by many as a stylish, luxury car brand that melds speed with comfort.
