It was 1997 when the Frankfurt Motor Show unveiled one of the most beautiful cars of its era to the public—the new Alfa Romeo 156. Penned at Centro Stile Alfa under the direction of Walter de Silva, the car captured immense attention from the very first moment, and for good reason. The vehicle was the absolute embodiment of the Italian ...
Have you looked around supermarket parking lots lately? Did you notice the same thing I did? Most of today's car production is manufactured and bought in 50 shades of grey.

Its roots trace back to 1972 with the launch of the Alfa Romeo Alfetta Berlina—initially as a 1.8, later a 1.6, and finally the 2.0 QO (Quadrifoglio Oro) version. All these factory models had...
If you are browsing these pages, you likely aren't here by accident, and introducing Zender to you would be like carrying coals to Newcastle. I must admit, I am not typically a fan of tuning. It is very thin ice; it takes so little for an attempt at improvement to turn into a parody that hurts the eyes, leaving a...
