Alfa Romeo can no longer sustain the expansion that it enjoyed under Luraghi,and not even the Joint
Venture
with the Japanese car manufacturer Nissan(AR.N.A;Alfa Romeo Nissan Automobili), for the
production of a new
car,produces the expected results.In 1986,Finmeccanica sells Alfa to the FIAT
Group,which assigns it with
Lancia to a new Group unit called “Alfa Lancis S.p.A”, which becomes
operational in 1987.In the same year,
the Alfa Romeo Stile moves to an industrial complex at Arese;
the building is designed in co-operation with
the renowned architect Adalberto dal Lago using criteria
based on the one ahnd on creative working,and on the
other on the rational arrangement of the
operational departments.
“Revival” is at hand; New Alfa Romeo ranges
are developed and the company strives to maintain its
technological autonomy associated with its product and
badge.In the world of Formula 1,the eighties
begin with a revolution in turbo engines and the advent of
aeronautic technology in the design and
construction of the cars
