The 33 TT 12 was the winner of the 1975 Manufacturers World Championship, driven by several top drivers: Merzario (the best performer), Andretti, Bell, Laffite, Mass, Pescarolo, Brambilla, Ickx, Facetti, Stommelen, Scheckter. Celebrating 50 years of Autodelta, the 33 TT 12 World Title represents the pinnacle of the Autodelta wins in 1970s motorsports. AUTODELTA Autodeltas original goal was to manage Alfa Romeo's official return to competitive sports after withdrawing from the F1 World Championship in 1951. Its the reason why Alfa Romeo decided to create a special racing organisation physically detached from the production plant and having enough discretionary power to quickly take technical and sporting decisions. The most prominent figure of Autodelta's fascinating history is without a doubt the charismatic engineer Carlo Chiti. Carlo Chiti was in motorsport during one of its most romantic eras; he worked with Enzo Ferrari, helped to design cars that won hundreds of races, and guided drivers such as Juan Manuel Fangio and Niki Lauda to many famous victories. Carlo Chiti was at the heart of Autodelta and he played a pivotal role in Alfa Romeos return to motorsport.CLOVERLEAF The origin of the 'Quadrifoglio Verde' (Cloverleaf) badge has been lost in legend, but today the Cloverleaf is part of the Italian Air Force's coat of arms and at the same time remains the symbol of Alfa Romeo's philosophy, based on the constant pursuit of excellence applied to competitions, and transferred to production vehicles.The Cloverleaf badge has also become a model name in its own right, appearing on the sportiest versions of cars such as the 33, 75, 164, 145, GT, and Spider 2.0Now the Cloverleaf has returned to the Alfa Giulietta and Alfa MiTo, the new models which have assumed a place in the tradition of the best Alfa Romeos, drawing on the heritage of dynamic performance, without compromising on efficiency, respect for the environment and convenience in everyday use.BRANDED MERCHANDISE Alfa Romeos stand at Goodwood Festival of Speed 2013 will present, for the first time in the UK, the new range of Alfa Romeo 4C branded merchandise.
