SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 24, 2026 – Peugeot has just announced it is becoming the Official Automotive Partner of the Venice International Film Festival, the oldest film festival in the world, with the deal covering the 2026, 2027 and 2028 editions. The 83rd Mostra runs from September 2 to 12, 2026, and Peugeot will be right at the centre of it — fleet of vehicles on the Lido, a concept car in front of the Palazzo del Cinema, and the Lion badge on the red carpet itself. For a brand that has spent years building its credentials in cinema, this is arguably the biggest cultural partnership it has landed yet.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- June 15, 2026 -- Ninety years ago, a tiny car with a tapered hood and headlights that looked like mouse ears rolled out of Turin and quietly rewrote the rules of who could afford to drive. The Fiat 500 "Topolino" — launched in June 1936 — didn't just sell well; it launched the mass motorization of Italy and handed ordinary families the freedom of the road for the first time. To mark the milestone, the Topolino Autoclub Italia and Club Topolino Fiat Torino joined forces under a committee called "La Topolino va ai 90," staging a four-day rally from June 11 to 14 that wound through some of the most storied landmarks in and around Turin. More than 130 original examples participated, making it one of the most significant gatherings of classic Fiats in recent memory.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 15, 2026 – Alfa Romeo has claimed victory at the 44th 1000 Miglia, with a 1931 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport driven by Juan and Margarita Tonconogy crossing the finish line first on Brescia's Viale Venezia on June 13. It is the brand's 11th overall win at what is widely called the most beautiful race in the world, extending a record of dominance stretching back to 1928 that no other manufacturer has come close to matching. Alongside the outright victory, Alfa Romeo turned up in force — 50 cars at the start line, a rare 1956 1900 Super Sprint from the Heritage Hub Italy collection drawing crowds along the route, and the dynamic debut of the Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa limited series.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 7, 2026 – Alfa Romeo handed the keys to 200 journalists from 15 markets and turned them loose on the Varano de' Melegari circuit, with the whole range on hand: the compact Junior, the Tonale, the Giulia and Stelvio, and the high-performance Quadrifoglio super sports cars. The event, called the Alfa Romeo Driving Academy and powered by Scuderia de Adamich, was built for the European press, but the real news is what comes next. In the coming months the brand plans to open two track programs to actual buyers, from an exclusive day reserved for Quadrifoglio owners to discounted sessions for anyone purchasing a new Alfa Romeo. The pitch is simple: you do not really know one of these cars until you have driven it hard.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- June 1, 2025 -- The Royal Rally of Scandinavia delivered a bruising but ultimately mixed weekend for Lancia Corse HF at the second round of the FIA European Rally Championship, with triumph and heartbreak arriving in equal measure on the fast Swedish gravel. Andrea Mabellini and Virginia Lenzi were forced to retire after just three stages following a suspension-damaging off-road excursion, while young Italian Davide Pesavento fought back to claim third place in Junior ERC aboard the Lancia Ypsilon Rally4 HF. For fans of rally sport and the resurgent Lancia brand, this was a weekend that showed just how unforgiving — and how exciting — top-level European rallying can be.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- May 31, 2025 -- French yacht manufacturer PRESTIGE has revealed the M8 EVO, a sweeping evolution of its M8 flagship multihull motor yacht, and for anyone who has ever dreamed of life on the water, this new model is genuinely worth paying attention to. Built on direct feedback from M8 owners who have sailed everywhere from the Bahamas to Asia and the Côte d'Azur to the Caribbean, the M8 EVO refines virtually every aspect of the original concept — from a bolder exterior silhouette to dramatically reimagined interior living spaces. The yacht is set to make its world premiere at the 2026 Cannes Boat Show, with advance preview events already scheduled for those who want an early look.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – May 14, 2026 – Alfa Romeo has completed two significant deliveries of its ultra-exclusive 33 Stradale almost simultaneously, including the first customer handoff in the United States and the first-ever delivery directly to the Alfa Romeo Museum in Arese, Italy. Limited to just 33 handcrafted cars worldwide, the retro-inspired sports coupe continues to blur the line between collector automobile and rolling design object. One newly delivered model headed to Austin, Texas, finished in deep Rosso Villa d'Este with racing-inspired details tied to IndyCar history, while another now sits on public display in Italy wearing a specially developed color created through Alfa Romeo’s bespoke BOTTEGAFUORISERIE program. For enthusiasts of rare Italian sports cars, this is the kind of launch that still feels personal rather than mass-produced.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – May 14, 2025 – Alfa Romeo has released "Interrogation," the third and final episode of its cinematic campaign "Learn to Love Again," starring Spanish actor Pedro Alonso. In it, Alonso sits before a lie detector, composed and unreadable — until an Alfa Romeo Junior key lands on the table and the machine tells the truth his face refuses to. The episode completes a three-part series built around the compact Junior model, using short-form storytelling to position the car as an emotional experience rather than a product. The timing is deliberate: Alonso also debuts on Netflix on May 15 with Berlin 2, placing him at peak global visibility.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – May 14, 2025 – A new book launched today at the Alfa Romeo Museum in Arese marks 75 years of collaboration between Alfa Romeo and the Carabinieri Corps, one of the most enduring institutional partnerships in Italian automotive history. Titled Carabinieri and Alfa Romeo – for Italy, the volume traces how Alfa Romeo vehicles have accompanied Italy's police force through every major chapter of the republic, from post-war reconstruction to the fight against organized crime. Published by Giunti and Giorgio Nada Editore, the book is authored by Danilo Moriero and Lorenzo Ardizio, with original photography by Alessandro Barteletti and Paolo Carlini. It is a document of Italian social history told through the cars that policed it.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – Mai 14, 2025 – Alfa Romeo has launched the new Pack Performance for the Giulia sedan and Stelvio SUV, available now across European markets. The package bundles interior design upgrades, a 900-watt Harman Kardon audio system, and electronically controlled adaptive suspension into a single option. It is aimed squarely at drivers who want more engagement from two models that already sit at the sportier end of the premium segment. For existing Giulia and Stelvio buyers weighing up their options, this is a meaningful upgrade worth understanding in detail.
