When driving an Italian car, it’s not just about getting from point A to point B; it’s about arriving in style. Italian cars blend style with performance, delivering an exceptional driving experience transcending mere transportation. So hop in and buckle up, as 24/7 Wall St. takes you on a test drive of 8 Italian car brands to try, presented <em>alfa</em>betically, in a list containing some familiar brands and some positively electric contenders.</p> <h2>1. Abarth</h2> <figure><img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://247wallst.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/13_Fiat_Abarth_500_MIAS_13.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="1429" height="1198" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://247wallst.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/13_Fiat_Abarth_500_MIAS_13.jpg"/><figcaption>Abarth is the luxury, sporty line of Fiat.</figcaption></figure> <ul> <li><strong>Parent/owner</strong>: Stellantis Europe S.p.A</li> <li><strong>Brand established</strong>: 1949</li> <li><strong>2024 MSRP</strong>: $43k/500e</li> </ul> <h2>Fancy Fiat</h2> <figure><img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://247wallst.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/GettyImages-1163051272.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="791" height="527" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://247wallst.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/GettyImages-1163051272.jpg"/><figcaption>Abarth initially focused on producing high-performance exhaust systems.</figcaption></figure>  <p>Abarth is the luxury, sporty line of Fiat. Founded in 1949 by Carlo Abarth, an Austrian-Italian engineer with a passion for racing, Abarth initially focused on producing high-performance exhaust systems. In 1952, Abarth began building complete cars, starting with small-displacement racing vehicles based on Fiat platforms. Acquired by Fiat in 1971, Abarth continued to develop high-performance versions of Fiat models, such as the Abarth 124 Spider. More recently, Abarth has embraced E-car design and production, introducing the fully electric Abarth 500e in 2022. The Abarth 500e is a suped-up version of the Fiat 500e, with upgrades including a sound generator, which allows this electric car to growl like its fossil-fueled counterparts.</p> <h2>2. Alfa Romeo</h2> <figure><img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://247wallst.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/imageforentry7-e6o.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="1366" height="767" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://247wallst.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/imageforentry7-e6o.jpg"/><figcaption>Revered for its distinctive Italian design, Alfa Romeo is a longstanding symbol of Italian passion and performance.</figcaption></figure> <ul> <li><strong>Parent/owner</strong>: Alfa Romeo Automobiles S.p.A/Stellantis Europe S.p.A</li> <li><strong>Brand established</strong>: 1910</li> <li><strong>2024 MSRP</strong>: $43k/Giulia and Tonale</li> </ul> <h2>Golden Oldie</h2> <figure><img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://247wallst.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Alfa_Romeo_Tonale_PLUG-IN_HYBRID_Q4_VELOCE_3LA-AV113_0001_front.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="2560" height="1920" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://247wallst.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Alfa_Romeo_Tonale_PLUG-IN_HYBRID_Q4_VELOCE_3LA-AV113_0001_front.jpg"/><figcaption>With the introduction of its hybrid line, including the Tonale, pictured, Alfa Romeo is striving to regain our trust.</figcaption></figure> <p>Alfa Romeo traces its roots back to 1910 in Milan, Italy. Revered for its distinctive Italian design, Alfa Romeo is a longstanding symbol of Italian passion and performance. Throughout its history, Alfa Romeo has produced a range of iconic cars, from elegant luxury sedans to classic Italian sports cars. Consumers, however, harbor a complex love/hate relationship with Alfa Romeo.</p> <p>Drawn in by the brand’s history and flair, the brand has a reputation for inconsistent reliability and frequent maintenance issues. In recent years, the brand has addressed the issues that have been plaguing them for decades. With the introduction of its hybrid line, including the Tonale, Alfa Romeo is striving to regain our trust. The brand will be launching its e-car line-up in 2025, with plans to transition to only electric car production by 2027. This in and of itself is enough to make Alfa Romeo one of our 8 Italian car brands to try.</p> <p> </p><h2> 3.

Italcar offers practical, environmentally conscious alternatives to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, with reasonable price points. Though the Italcar lineup is not as lux as some on this list, the ergonomic design of the vehicles’ interiors places occupant safety and comfort at the top. Priced within reach, Italcar is definitely an Italian car brand to try.</p> <h2>6.
