Alfa Romeo Announces Bold New Chapter
Alfa Romeo, like Maserati, isn’t in a good place right now. The Stellantis-led marque is in dire need of a turnaround plan with the world’s fifth-largest automaker confirming that a major strategy review is in the pipeline for the Italian marques, spearheaded by a new CEO.
Wasting no time putting that plan into action, Alfa Romeo has announced a big reveal is set to take place on June 10, 2025, at 4:30 PM CEST (10:30 AM EDT) with the following post shared on it social media accounts:
“A new chapter is about to begin. Bold, unexpected, unmistakably Alfa Romeo.”
So, what is the premium Italian brand cooking?
Next-Generation Stelvio Likely
It’s no secret that Alfa Romeo is working on the next-generation Stelvio, its best-selling model. Despite being hit by an issue concerning the switch to a hybrid powertrain, the timing’s just right. The eight-year-old Stelvio is aging, and the automaker needs to entice fans with a new model.
The next-gen Stelvio will use Stellantis’ STLA Large platform, which underpins the unpopular Dodge Charger Daytona EV – an architecture flexible enough to cater to both pure EV and hybrid setups. The switch from the previous all-electric powertrain plan to hybrid isn’t as easy as flicking a switch, though.
That said, we don’t expect any powertrain details if this is indeed the new Stelvio, only a look at its new design, which was recently shared via the following patent images. But if it’s not a new model, then what else could the teaser be referring to?

Autodelta Triangle Teaser Sparks Motorsport Speculation
As you can see in the single teaser provided, the imagery shows the Alfa Romeo badge with a glowing red equilateral triangle. Alfanatics will recognize the triangle from Autodelta, Alfa Romeo’s historic racing division.
Could Alfa Romeo be about to announce a return to motorsport? Or could it be ready to launch a performance model that harkens to classic Alfas that Autodelta worked on.
Whatever Alfa Romeo’s planning, we only have a couple of days to find out. So stay tuned.
