In 1960, building work
began on the Arese plant, which went into production in 1963. The first car
produced was the Giulia, which sold more than 1 million of its various
versions.
Now the figure was 100,001!
In February
1961, production of the 100,001st Giulietta celebrated with the customary
bottle of champagne. The ceremony at Portillo was presided over by the car's
equally famous namesake: the actress Giulietta Masina.

Technology
and safety as standard
The new Alfa
Romeo MiTo is therefore self-avowedly an Alfa to the core, confirming an uncompromising
sense of control and driving satisfaction. Alfa Romeo cars have always had the
special features of drive comfort and dynamic behaviour: in the case of this
car they are undeniable strong points. The MiTo therefore offers as standard
the most sophisticated array of electronic devices for dynamic control and
safety. Hence the choice of two tried and tested layouts for the suspension
system – a MacPherson configuration at the front and a semi-independent
configuration with torsion beam at the rear.
Alfa Romeo
DNA
The MiTo was
the first Alfa Romeo car to be equipped with the Alfa DNA system, an innovative
device that operates on the main driving parameters (engine response, stability
control and steering assistance) adapting the car's personality to the needs of
the driver and the different road conditions. The Alfa DNA system acts on the
engine, brakes, steering, suspension and gearbox, allowing three different
vehicle behaviour modes, depending on the most suitable driving style for the
conditions or the desires of the driver: supersporty mode, Dynamic; urban mode,
Natural; and maximum safety even in low grip conditions, All Weather mode.

Technology and safety as standard
The standard
equipment of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta includes state-of-the-art electronic
systems for dynamic control and safety. The advanced McPherson front suspension
and MULTILINK rear suspension have been designed to provide perfect balance
even at the limit.
Furthermore,
the Giulietta ensures the best driving conditions at all times using the Alfa
DNA selector which selects three driving modes: Dynamic, Natural and All
Weather.
All these
systems guarantee genuine Alfa Romeo driving safety, vehicle traction and performance.
The Giulietta suspension system expresses its dual spirit: sporty and
entertaining, yet dominable and comfortable.

allows the car's personality to be adapted to the needs of the driver and

When the
selector is in DYNAMIC position, the car's performance is exactly as you would
expect from the sporting spirit of any Alfa Romeo: the engine response is
immediate, delivery is substantial due to the overboost, while the Electronic
Q2 differential allows corners to be tackled in complete safety
With the
selector set to NATURAL, even everyday driving becomes more fun, guaranteeing a
comfortable, smooth drive at all times. Fuel consumption will be reduced to the
minimum.
In ALL
WEATHER mode, the Giulietta girds itself to face the most difficult grip
conditions, alerting all its active safety systems, including the VDC and
Electronic Q2. The engine response will become more gradual and controlled.

Safety
The new Alfa
Romeo 159 is the undisputed benchmark for road holding. High torsional
rigidity, an exclusive high quadrilateral front suspension geometry and rear
Multilink suspensions are only some of the sophisticated mechanical solutions
that ensure top level control in all situations. These solutions mean that in
the 159 you can enjoy the pleasure of tracing perfect lines and dominating the
road in total safety. Additionally, the new Alfa 159 has some of the most
sophisticated electronic systems for improving handling, braking capacity and
control in limit conditions: ABS with EBD, VDC stability control system, ASR
traction control, HBA for emergency braking, and Hill Holder assistance.
Electronic
Q2
Controlled
by the ESP control unit, this system exploits the braking system and creates a
behaviour very similar to that of a limited slip differential. In particular,
when accelerating through corners the front braking system appropriately
applies the inner wheel brakes and consequently increases traction of the outer
wheel (the one bearing the most load). As a consequence, torque is dynamically
and continuously distributed between the front wheels according to driving
conditions and the road surface. Electronic Q2, combined with an exclusive
quadrilateral front suspension, accords particularly effective, sporty tuning.

Handling
worthy of a true sports car, as roomy as a Station Wagon. The Alfa 159
Sportwagon does not conceal its sporting background.

History has
repeated itself and gone further. Alfa Romeo has a new icon: fast, essential,
powerful, sophisticated.
