Stellantis has a lot of brands under its care, and recently, it has started closely nurturing the Italian ones – Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Abarth, and Lancia. So, what comes next? More Alfa Romeo, of course!
If we talked about the Italian brands under Stellantis' tutelage a couple of years ago, we could easily have claimed they're basically on life support with only a significant model series or two for each. Alfa Romeo only had the Giulia and Stelvio, Lancia just the Ypsilon, all Fiat customers cared for was the little 500, and Abarth also had a passion for it.
Now, though, things are looking slightly better. Alfa Romeo refreshed the Giulia sedan and Stelvio luxury crossover SUV then also introduced the Tonale compact CUV – its first-ever hybrid model. Soon, the range will include the flagship limited-series 33 Stradale ICE and EV supercar, as well as the revival of the Milano nameplate for a 'sport urban vehicle.'
That's probably the subcompact crossover SUV version of the all-new Fiat 600 and 600e, which in turn is a sibling of the Jeep Avenger, Peugeot 2008, Opel Mokka, and DS3 E-Tense built on Stellantis' eCMP architecture that allows both ICE and EV models to coexist in the same universe. Abarth also launched the 500e and will probably bring out the 600e version, too, and Lancia is on its way to introducing the all-new Ypsilon generation. As such, what more could Italian car fans want? More Alfa Romeo, of course.
No worries, if the OEM can't deliver more than one model per year, the imaginative realm of digital car content creators has no such issues. Thus, meet Vince Burlapp (aka vburlapp on social media), who is a prolific virtual artist who loves to dream of all the latest models across the wide-ranging automotive industry. Usually focused on all things happening across the US automotive market, now he's taking an Italian swing as a Christmas present for Alfa Romeo enthusiasts.
So, actively ignoring the upcoming apparition of the Alfa Romeo Milano – which, apart from having a distinctive design, is probably going to have the exact same powertrain options as its other Stellantis siblings, including the newly upgraded EV option, this pixel master thought about making the 2026 Alfa Romeo Giulia a lot more stylish than today – and also an EV, so as to respect the reports from Stellantis had honcho that the next-gen sedan will be a zero emissions marvel.
Secondly, he didn't let the Giulia EV dwell alone across the parallel universes of vehicular CGI. Instead, the virtual artist also imagined how Alfa could bring back the GTV moniker, which had already been used on three occasions – GT Veloce (1967-1976), GTV from 1976 to 1987, and the GTV plus Spider series from 1995 to 2005. However, this one isn't necessarily treated as an EV, so Alfa could easily gift it with Giulia Veloce Ti's 2.0-liter gasoline engine with 276 horsepower, right?
