Alfa Romeo at Retromobile 2026

\n

Alfa Romeo is set to take centre stage at Retromobile 2026, the Paris-based classic car show now celebrating its 50th year. Running from January 28 to February 1 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, the event remains a benchmark for automotive enthusiasts worldwide, featuring exhibitions, workshops, auctions, award ceremonies, and special events. This year, Alfa Romeo, together with the Stellantis Heritage department and the Alfa Romeo Classiche division, offers visitors a journey through more than a century of Italian automotive excellence.

A Compelling Mix of Past and Present

\n

In Hall 7.2, Alfa Romeo presents a compelling mix of past and present. Three legendary classic models, all in the brand’s iconic red, sit alongside the contemporary Alfa Romeo Tonale, creating a visual narrative of innovation, style, and driving pleasure that defines the Biscione. Among the classics, the Alfa Romeo 1600 Spider “Duetto” (1966) celebrates its 60th anniversary, representing decades of timeless Italian design. Equally rare is the Alfa Romeo 750 Competizione (1955), a prototype with only two units ever produced, highlighting the brand’s commitment to racing and technical innovation. Completing the display is the Alfa Romeo 33/2 Periscopica (1967), the forebear of the “33” family that set new standards in both performance and style. The new Tonale demonstrates how these values have evolved, offering a dynamic and refined driving experience while maintaining the unmistakable Alfa Romeo appeal.

Visitors to the stand will also gain insight into the Alfa Romeo Classiche Program, the flagship initiative of Stellantis Heritage designed to preserve and enhance the brand’s historical legacy. The program caters to owners of historic and collector cars, providing specialized services such as the Certificate of Origin, issued through meticulous archival research; the Certificate of Authenticity, validated via rigorous technical inspections by Heritage experts; and restoration, maintenance, and repair work carried out in line with original specifications. This program exemplifies Alfa Romeo’s dedication to safeguarding its heritage while enabling enthusiasts to enjoy it fully.

Retromobile 2026 is more than a showcase of cars; it is a celebration of a unique identity forged through iconic models, racing triumphs, and enduring commercial success. Alfa Romeo’s presence underscores the brand’s belief that history is not simply a legacy to protect but a living inspiration that continues to shape the future. Through its classics and innovations, Alfa Romeo invites enthusiasts to experience the continuity of style, performance, and passion that has defined the brand for over a century.

At the intersection of tradition and modernity, Alfa Romeo at Retromobile reaffirms its place on the international stage: a testament to Italian ingenuity, a celebration of heritage, and a promise of exhilarating drives to come.Alfa Romeo is set to take centre stage at Retromobile 2026, the Paris-based classic car show now celebrating its 50th year.
