Compared to previous years, there is also a return to a simplified quadrifoglio design and an enlarged Alfa Romeo script on the engine cover which is now overlapping the main logo.Taking pride of place as always is Alfa Romeo’s iconic symbol which combines the Cross from the city of Milan’s ancient crest and the “Biscione” of the Visconti Family, representing 110 years of glory and victories while looking to the future at the same time.
