Brief History of Alfa Romeo Cars:

The company that became Alfa Romeo was introduced as Società Anonima Italiana Darracq in 1906 by the
French car maker company of Alexandre Darracq, with some Italian entrepreneurs. The first non-Darracq vehicle
developed by the company was the 1910 24 HP, designed by Giuseppe Merosi, a reputable car designer at that
time.

One of the investors went to create new A.L.F.A. model cars, with stronger engines (40-60 HP capable). A.L.F.A.
entered motor racing sports. In 1914, a performance Grand Prix vehicle was designed and produced, the GP 1914,
which was equipped with a 4-cylinder straight engine, double overhead camshafts, four valves / cylinder and twin
ignition system as a redundant measure.

In 1915, the company came under the rules of Nicola Romeo, who changed the automobile factory to create
military hardware to sustain the war efforts, and of course - to get some profits during that hard period. Precision
munitions, powerful aircraft engines and other parts, compressors and generators were manufactured during the
war.

In 1920, the name of the company was switched to Alfa Romeo with the Torpedo 20-30 HP becoming the first
vehicle to be badged as Alfa Romeo. The first big success came in 1920 when Giuseppe Campari won the sports
race at Mugello and continued with second place in the Targa Florio driven by Enzo Ferrari.

Although the Alfa Romeo company is well-known as automobile manufacturer, it has created also various
commercial vehicles, railway locomotives, tractors, buses, compressors, generators, marine and even aircraft
engines. Most of these continue to be very reliable even after so many passing years.
