The 2011 Alfa 159 range has just been enhanced with new interior trim and equipment, as well as a new 136 bhp 2.0 JTDM engine.

Italian sporting car manufacturer, Alfa Romeo, has just recorded the largest percentage sales increase for the key month of March, defying the trend in a UK market 7.8 per cent down on March 2010.

According to March 2011 new registration statistics from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, Alfa Romeo has recorded a positive percentage change in its new car sales - a 66.35% increase - higher than any other manufacturer for the month.

At the 81st Geneva International Motor Show, the Alfa Romeo 4C Concept will make its debut, a compact "supercar" which represents the true essence of a sports car, according to the brand's values: performance, Italian style and technical excellence aimed at maximum driving pleasure in total safety.

Essential style capable of conveying strong emotions, technical research that is always at the cutting edge, plus superlative road holding and driving satisfaction: these are the qualities that have always set Alfa Romeo apart in the world motoring scenario. The same values lie behind the Giulietta and the MiTo, the latest two models in the brand, which perfectly incarnate the marriage of design and technology, set in the very DNA of any Alfa Romeo, along with passenger room and comfort.

The sporty Alfa Giulietta five-door hatchback range has just been boosted by the addition of another ultra frugal yet high performing second generation MultiJet diesel engine.

The new 2.0 JTDM-2 140 bhp is an ideal engine for both company car drivers and private owners requiring low fuel consumption and low running costs combined with driving comfort for long trips.

Stylish, sporty and now award winning, the Alfa MiTo has finished top of its class in the What Car? Reader Awards 2010.

Alfa Romeo’s stunning all-new model, the Alfa Giulietta, was selected as the official car for the PPQ fashion show and after party last Friday (17.9.10) to mark the launch of London Fashion Week.

Stars including singers VV Brown, Little Boots, Jamelia and Destiny’s Child Michelle Williams were chauffeured to and from the show at Somerset House in a fleet of five door Giuliettas along with PPQ designer Amy Molyneaux, top American model Amber Rose and Vivienne Westwood model TolulaAdeyemi.
