Alfa Romeo features in the 39th run of the “1000 Miglia”

• The multi-year #partnership between #alfaromeo and the “most beautiful race in the world” continues. From June 16^th to 19^th, the renowned contest will be run as always from Brescia to Rome and back again.
• At the competitive Mille Miglia from 1927 to 1957, #alfaromeo cars triumphed 11 times, a record number of wins that can never be beaten.
• On the starting line will be certain priceless #alfaromeo models belonging to the Group's historical collection, assisted by the technical experts from the #heritage department.
• The guest of honor will be the new #alfaromeo #giuliagta, technically and conceptually inspired by the legendary 1965 Giulia “Gran Turismo Alleggerita” developed by Autodelta.
• At the disposal of the organization will be an #alfaromeo fleet made up of the current Giulia and #stelvio models. 

As Global #automotive Partner, #alfaromeo will be taking part in the 2021 edition of the historical re-enactment of the Mille Miglia – the “most beautiful race in the world” in the famous words of Enzo Ferrari, due to get underway in Brescia on June 16^th, returning there three days later after visiting some of the most evocative locations in Italy. It is therefore a highly prestigious #event, one that every year garners the admiration and warm welcome of its audience. As usual this year, taking part will be some of the most priceless vintage #alfaromeo models, belonging to the collection of the Heritage department, dedicated to the protection and promotion of #alfaromeo, Fiat, Lancia and Abarth's historical #heritage. 

As ever part race and part adventure, the 39^th edition of the “Freccia Rossa” (“Red Arrow”) will witness the participation of utterly priceless vintage cars. According to the regulations, the only models that can take part in the #event must have done so in the competitive Mille Miglia, raced from 1927 to 1957 and won 11 times by #alfaromeo cars. This record number of wins can never be beaten, cementing an unbreakable bond between the Italian brand and the greatest regularity race for vintage cars in the world. Faithful to its traditional route from Brescia to Rome and back again, with stage arrivals in Viareggio and Bologna, the 2021 edition offers a major new feature not included in other recent runs: the competition will travel counterclockwise, as was often the case in the original race. For the first time this year, the crews will also face both the Cisa Pass in stage 1, and the Futa and Raticosa Passes on day 3 of the race. 

Beyond its historical value, this type of #event represents an authentic bridge between past and future: it is no coincidence that the payoff of this edition of the 1000 Miglia is “Crossing the Future”, words designed to celebrate the importance of technological innovation in the #automotive field, one of the founding values of historical competition and of drivers aiming at the future of mobility.
Alfa Romeo shares with the 1000 Miglia its drive toward innovation and constant improvement of performance: in its more than 110 years, the Biscione brand has written some of the most glorious chapters in the history of motorsport, with its iconic models and their triumphs in competitions, thus becoming part of the collective unconscious. Indeed, the brand’s past continues to inspire #alfaromeo engineers and designers to create new models. The proof lies in the new #alfaromeo #giuliagta, bringing back one of the legends of motoring and a milestone in the manufacturer’s history: the 1965 #giuliagta. The new #alfaromeo supercar is technically and conceptually inspired by the 1965 #giuliagta: the “Gran Turismo Alleggerita” developed by Autodelta on the basis of the Giulia Sprint GT, which racked up sporting successes worldwide. And it is no coincidence that its recent presentation to the international press took place at the former Officine Autodelta at the Balocco Proving Ground (Vercelli province), where the Giulia Sprint GTA was developed in the 1960s. A brand-new #alfaromeo #giuliagta will be in attendance at the 2021 “1000 Miglia”, making the #event a sine qua non for the brand's fans.

But that’s not all: #alfaromeo will be providing the organization with a fleet of 30 of its current cars – #stelvio and Giulia models. As the official cars of the 2021 “1000 Miglia”, they will surely win over all the fans expected to line the course, those who share the brand's values, steeped in history and competition. 

A final mention should go to the commitment of the Stellantis #heritage department, which provides invaluable technical support through technicians based at the Officine Classiche, bringing the gems of the Group's historical collection back into competition at the most famous vintage car get-togethers. Just one example is the extraordinary #alfaromeo 6C 1500 SS (1928), belonging to the Museo Storico #alfaromeo in Arese, which won the 2019 historical re-enactment of the 1000 Miglia and will be taking part in the “most beautiful race in the world” once again in 2021. As well as maintaining the vintage cars in the Group's collection, the #heritage technical experts are also at the disposal of collectors from all over the world, supporting them with certification and restoration services for historic #alfaromeo, Fiat, Lancia and Abarth cars.
