AutoItalia Magazine Issue 256 Retour à l'édition précédente

As Alfa Romeo launches its new Stelvio, this month we go Alfa 4x4 crazy. First up, we drive Alfa’s first-ever SUV across the Alps towards the Stelvio Pass that gave it its name. In the wake of the Stelvio, we’re also celebrating Alfa Romeo’s rich 4x4 heritage with a five-way Alfa 4x4 feature. It proves that Alfa is no stranger to four-wheel drive, and also that it’s made some cracking all-wheel drive cars – genuine pearls like the 33 Permanent 4, 164 Q4, 155 Q4, 159 Q4 and Brera. One of those five really stands out as a sublime driver’s car – but which one? Find out this issue!
