The livery was designed by Alfa Romeo in Turin as the team's partnership with the Italian car manufacturer enters its final year this season. From 2026, the Sauber team will be majority owned and run by Audi. The experts at Euro NCAP gave the Tonale the full five stars for safety – the same as all the rivals. It comes with adaptive cruise control that can read road signs and alter your speed accordingly, and lane-keep assist with lane centring that’s said to work even at low speeds in traffic. On Tuesday, Alfa Romeo presented their new challenger and new livery for the upcoming F1 season, as the Sauber-run operation look to build on a P6 finish in last year’s constructors’ standings.

GIULIA SPRINT: A tribute to the brand's sporting DNA, it is equipped with active cruise control and a leather sports steering wheel. It is available with petrol or diesel engines of 190 or 200 hp. Upgrade to the Veloce and this brings the styling upgrades we’ve already mentioned, as well as a limited-slip differential to enhance the driving experience. Electric front seats are added, along with a power tailgate. The WLTP (Worldwide harmonised Light vehicles Test Procedure) has been the basis of which new vehicles have been approved since 1st September 2018, replacing the European Driving Cycle (NEDC), which was the test procedure previously used. Alongside Alfa Romeo’s quest for performance, Monchaux added that reliability has also been a focus for the squad ahead of the new campaign, having seen points go begging on several occasions in 2022 due to component failures.Alfa Romeo reserves the right to change, amend or withdraw this offer at any point in time. Correct at time of publication. Historically, we were always very strong with reliability, but last year somehow we lost a little bit what used to be one of our biggest strengths, so it was clearly one of the focuses, or one of the areas of major focus for us last winter.” The concept we followed last year, we felt had come to a plateau and to unleash the next level of performance we had to do all these changes. The Alfa Romeo C43 will be driven by Zhou Guanyu and Valtteri Bottas. Sauber Then, evidently, all the rear-end work we see with the floor, alongside the new regs… so we’ve really been putting a lot of effort on the second part of the car, while the front will be successively developed during the season. Speaking at Alfa Romeo’s car launch, Monchaux commented: “We identified areas where we thought there was still potential for us to unleash, potential we wouldn’t be able to unleash in the 2022 season.

We decided to change the rear suspension, so also the gearbox casing and that then opens the door to new cooling layouts, which themselves once in place, allowed us to develop the bodywork in ways that last year was not possible," technical director Jan Monchaux said. Last year – during the season – it was not possible, and the concept we had followed last year, we were of the opinion that [it] had come to a sort of plateau, and to unleash the next level of performance, we had to do all those changes that have been quite a journey for us, because it’s a big, big, complex part we had to re-do.

According to Alfa Romeo, the Tonale Q4 can cover up to 42 miles on electric power alone, or 50 miles if you’re just driving around town. The plug-in Tonale can also return up to 217mpg while emitting 29-32g/km of CO2, which is how it attracts the same eight per cent Benefit-in-Kind tax rate as the latest BMW X1 PHEV, and well below the 14 per cent BiK rate for the equivalent XC40. Alfa Romeo’s 2023 Formula 1 car, the C43, features several key modifications at the rear compared to its predecessor, the team’s Technical Director, Jan Monchaux, has explained. The used ALFA ROMEO GIULIA is an elegant saloon car that pays tribute to the brand's sporting spirit and Italian style. With its aerodynamic design, harmonious volumes, wide choice of petrol or diesel engines and the latest equipment and technology, it ensures an incomparable driving experience and adapts to your needs. The refined interior focuses on the driving experience, with all the controls within easy reach and the presence of delicate materials such as carbon fibre and wood. It has been quite a journey for us because it was a big, complex part we had to re-do and then evidently how all the rear end works with the floor alongside the new regs. So we have really been putting a lot of effort on the rear end of the car while the front will be successively developed during the season." The plug-in hybrid Tonale Q4 is the most powerful variant in the range, producing 271bhp all-in and offering all-wheel drive. The 1.3-litre petrol engine under the bonnet sends its power to the front wheels, while the single electric motor fed by a 15.5kWh battery drives the rears.
