To celebrate this major milestone, Alfa Romeo is engaging its enthusiasts yet another demonstration of its daring attitude. The spectacular video the brand has made together with its Formula 1 driver Zhou Guanyu is a manifesto of the values that have distinguished Alfa Romeo’s DNA since 1910: Noble sportsmanship and Made in Italy.
The brand asked Chinese driver Zhou Guanyu to demonstrate his driving skills on a track not included in this year’s 23 venues. The driver jumped on board his single-seater at the Cassino plant where the Giulia and Stelvio are brought to life. The plant’s employees accorded him a warm welcome, with donuts and a traditional photo, until he exited the plant gates.
For Zhou Guanyu, it was then time to take the Formula 1 single-seater down the highway from Piedimonte San Germano to the Pomigliano d’Arco exit, home of the Alfa Romeo Giambattista Vico plant, where the Tonale is produced on a daily basis. The workers at the plant near Naples were definitely well-prepared when they welcomed and lauded the driver's developments, in a setting that was completely out of the ordinary.
Since way back in 1910, Alfa Romeo’s history has covered over 100 years, thrilling entire generations and experiencing together with the country all the social evolutions that shaped Italy in the 20th century. Epochs marked by sporting glory and commercial successes, alternating with other more complex times, such as international conflicts that dealt a hard blow to society at the time.
The vigorous resurgence of the country after the two world wars unites Italy and Alfa Romeo. The bold attitude and the usual inclusive approach have meant that the brand has always returned to excite lovers of cars and sportiness.

Chevrolet has unleashed the unthinkable in the Corvette ZR1. The King of the Hill returns with the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer, mind-bending specs, and iconic design to challenge the world’s best supercars in both coupe and convertible variants.
• Corvette ZR1 features a 5.5L, twin-turbocharged DOHC flat-plane crank V8 engine dubbed the LT7.
• The LT7 engine produces 1,064 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 828 lb-ft (1123 Nm) of torque at 6,000 rpm, per SAE guidelines — the most power ever from a factory Corvette and the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer.
• Corvette ZR1 boasts a GM-estimated top speed of over 215 mph (346 Kph) on the racetrack and will dispatch the quarter mile with a GM-estimated sub-10-second time1.
• Purposeful carbon fiber aero package creates over 1,200 pounds (544 Kg) of downforce at top speed.
• ZR1 revives one of the most iconic styles in Corvette history: the split rear window.
“The team that revolutionized Corvette with a mid-engine architecture took on another challenge: take ZR1 to the next level,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Chevrolet. “Corvette ZR1 is about pushing the envelope with raw power and cutting-edge innovation. From Stingray, to Z06, E-Ray, and now ZR1, the Corvette family continues to elevate with each new iteration — and challenge the best in the world.”
The new 2025 Ram 1500 is now available in the Middle East, featuring an all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane engine family that brings more power, performance, and improved fuel efficiency.
“The new 2025 Ram 1500 brings our customers more: more power, more performance and more fuel efficiency with our all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane engines,” said Chris Feuell, Ram brand CEO – Stellantis. “With a choice of new and proven gas engines or our upcoming electric truck offerings, Ram is built to serve truck buyers everywhere. Our new powertrain offerings add to the unique combination of bold styling, leading-edge innovation and technology, durability and capability Ram customers have come to know and love.”
The automotive world is abuzz with the announcement that Lanzante, the renowned vehicle specialist known for transforming track-focused machines into road-going marvels, is set to convert the Red Bull RB17 hypercar into a street-legal version. This ambitious project aims to bring Adrian Newey’s V-10 beast from the racetrack to the public roads, and while the challenge is daunting, Lanzante's track record suggests they are up for it. The Red Bull RB17, designed by the legendary Adrian Newey, is a testament to cutting-edge engineering and performance. The track-only version of the hypercar weighs a mere 1,984 pounds, making it lighter than a Mazda MX-5 Miata ND. Yet, despite its featherweight design, it boasts a staggering 1,200 horsepower. This immense power allows it to lap Silverstone a second quicker than a Formula 1 car, according to recent simulations.
