Download or read book Alfa Romeo 105 Series Spider written by Jim Talbott and published by The Crowood Press. This book was released on 2019-10-21 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Alfa Romeo 105 series Spider is one of the most admired drop-head sports cars to come out of Italy. Launched in 1966, its radical new look was not immediately welcomed. As prospective buyers gradually warmed to the model, enhancements were introduced including more powerful engines and higher-spec body and interior fittings. Despite its inauspicious start, production of this much-admired car lasted for twenty-seven years, finally stopping in 1993. Jim Talbott and Andrew Brown pay homage to the 105/115 series Alfa Spider. With over 330 photographs, many specially commissioned, this new book describes the Alfa Romeo company history including its philosophy of incorporating driver appeal into all of its products, resulting in some of the most desirable vehicles of their age; it details the evolution of the 105/115 series through four distinct body styles; lists the technical design specifications and every major version of the Spider and finally, discusses the issues and challenges of finding and owning a classic Spider.

Download or read book Italian Motoring History written by Shelly Laessig and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-03-12 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the almost unknown Alfa flagship of the late 70s, filling, therefore, a gap. Considering the strong author's background, the book is much focused on the history of the project and the design. On the other hand, the book lacks some details: a summary table of the tech specs of the model in its history. But you can find the original output and torque curves - a little too small, in truth. First envisaged in the Sixties by a rising, confident Alfa Romeo, the Alfa 6 was finally launched in 1979 by a far different company: one fighting an uphill battle for its own survival against formidable odds. Misunderstood and underappreciated in the period, this model is now, forty years after its launch, finally gaining appreciation among the most ardent Alfa Romeo fans...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been 110 years since Alfa Romeo was founded. A name that has become synonymous with cars, so important has its presence been both industrially and in motorsport. Over this long period of time, the celebrated Italian manufacturer has created cars that have become part of motoring history such as the 1900, the Giulietta, the Giulia and the Alfetta. At the same time, Alfa Romeo has enjoyed an outstanding sporting career, winning all of the most significant races and titles, among them the Mille Miglia, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Tourist Trophy and the Formula 1 World Championship. This book, which first appeared in 2010 when Alfa Romeo (under the title 'Alfa Romeo 1910-2010') celebrated its first century, was written by the late Maurizio Tabucchi, an expert on the history of the marque, who passed away a few years ago. His work has now been updated to include all the latest models produced from 2017 to the present day such as the Stelvio and the Giulia Quadrifoglio Verde. The book has been completed with an examination of the Alfa Romeo marque’s return to competition in partnership with Sauber, demonstrating that its “sporting heart” is still beating as strongly as ever.

Download or read book Alfa Romeo written by Asa Holzem and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-24 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The partnership between Alfa Romeo and Nissan, called ARNA, was signed by the presidents of the respective brands, Takashi Ishihara and Ettore Massacesi, on October 9th, 1980, and was a first in continental Europe: the joint venture, as we would say nowadays, would guarantee 3,500 workplaces and a development-manufacturing merging, even if limited to just one model. Pity that, in Italy, the entire operation was truly mismanaged. Motor industry commentators often cite the Alfa Romeo Arna as a perfect example of how not to combine the talents of two manufacturers. The world sat up and took notice when Alfa Romeo announced its forthcoming partnership with Nissan in October 1980 - the combination of the two had the potential to build something special. By 1986, Alfa Romeo's parent company, the Italian government-owned Istituto per la Ricostruzione Industriale was suffering from heavy losses, and IRI president Romano Prodi put Alfa Romeo up for sale, with Fiat ultimately emerging as the new owner of Alfa. Fiat's first decision was to cease Arna production owing to its poor reputation and poor sales and to terminate the unsuccessful Alfa Romeo Nissan alliance. Production ceased in 1987, with Fiat intending to strengthen the competitiveness of the Alfa Romeo 33 as Alfa's entry in that segment. By this time, Nissan had set up a European operation of its own at Nissan Motor Manufacturing UK in Sunderland, which became hugely successful.
