The Alfasud, produced between 1972 and 1983, represents a significant chapter in Alfa Romeo's history as their first front-wheel-drive compact car. Designed by Bertone, this vehicle is distinguished by its wedge-shaped profile and innovative horizontally-opposed boxer engine, which powered various body styles including sedans, hatchbacks, and coupés.

Its name, meaning 'Alfa of the South,' highlights its production in Southern Italy, a key part of Alfa Romeo's expansion strategy.
