Alfa Romeo continues i celebration of the 100th anniversary of Quadrifoglio. The race will take place on Sunday Formula One Canadian Grand Prix and Alfa Romeo Racing will take to the track two of its single-seat cars with a livery featuring a celebratory logo created for the 100th anniversary of the Quadrifoglio.
Thus, the Italian brand also intends to celebrate the Quadrifoglio in Formula 1, which has been a symbol of Alfa Romeo’s sportiest models for 100 years. As a reminder, the commemorative logo was designed by Centro Stile Alfa Romeo.
The first Alfa Romeo car with the Quadrifoglio system. it was the RL “Corsa” piloted by Hugo Sivocci, which won the 14th Targa Florio competition in 1923, thus winning the brand’s first of ten laurels in this prestigious competition. At that time, the Italian marque also decided to equip the car with a “good luck charm” by painting a four-leaf clover on the car’s hood. After the victory, the four-leaf clover began to identify Alfa Romeo racing cars.
Even normal production Alfa Romeos have started eating a four leaf clover. The first signs of A were a series of particularly high-performance vehicles built between the 60s and 80s. Subsequently, the same initial “Q” became part of the Alfa Romeo lexicon, denoting the most advanced technical solutions: the most famous of all. it’s an all-wheel-drive Q4, but there was also a Q2 limited-slip differential, Q-System automatic transmission, and Q-Tronic, just to name a few.
As for more recent times, the Quadrifoglio symbol appeared on both the Mito (2008) and the Giulietta (2010) and when a new generation of Alfa Romeo was born in 2015 with the launch of the Giulia in a Quadrifoglio version equipped with a new Petrol engine 2.9 BiTurbo with 510 hp The Stelvio, the first SUV produced by Alfa Romeo, also has a Quadrifoglio version.
