This year, Alfa Romeo celebrates the 100th anniversary of Quadrifoglio being part of the Alfa Romeo lore. In 1923, team racer and second-place permanent finisher Ugo Sivocci drew a four-leaf clover inside a white square on his jacket. RL The single-seater “Corsa” was developed to win the Targa Florio. Sivocci won the race, giving Alfa Romeo its first international victory. A few months later, Sivocci went to Monza to test P1 for grand opening of Europe. He didn’t draw a four-leaf clover on the P1 17 he drove, and he died in practice. Yes, correlation isn’t causation, but it’s hard to find a group that is more superstitious than the team’s racers. The Italians removed 17th place from racing cars, and since 1924 every Alfa Romeo has had a Quadrifoglio on the bodywork inside a triangle instead of a square. The missing point represents the loss of Sivocci.
Since then, those green leaves have defined Alfas among a sea of other red Italian singles seats from competitors such as Ferrari And maserati. Of course, sometimes cars don’t need such assistance, the lines on models like the TZ and P33 are iconic enough that they don’t need to be distinguished anymore.
The Milanese added Quadrifoglio versions to production cars in the 1960s, but didn’t enter it into the official production name until the 1980s. Later, the brand expanded into two types of clover. , Quadrifoglio Oro (gold) denotes luxury versions, Quadrifoglio Verde for sport variants. It was then even more widely used as the single letter “Q” for features like the Q2 locking differential and Q4 all-wheel drive.
Centro Stile Alfa Romeo has tweaked the logo and graphics to appear at the brand events that will begin on its official 100th anniversary on June 25. Dubbed “Quadrifoglio Day”, the festival is celebrated. “Behind the scenes” conference and parade for all Alfa Romeo clubs.
This year also marks the 60th anniversary of Alfa Romeo’s Autodelta racing division. Equivalent to one AMG or the Italian M-part, before the German version, famous Alfa Romeo racing cars like 1965 Giulia Sprint GTA and 1975 33 TT twelfth sport car racers emerge from the Autodelta workshop. These celebrations will take place first on March 5, marked by a conference at the Alfa Romeo Museum in Arese, milan.
