SHERIDAN, WYOMING – August 4, 2025 – This year’s 1000 Miglia was more than just a classic car rally — it was a breathtaking fusion of history, heritage, and high-performance style, led by none other than Alfa Romeo. As the roaring engines of vintage legends echoed through Italy’s sun-drenched countryside, a new chapter was being written for car lovers across generations.
In a dazzling show of dominance, Alfa Romeo swept the podium, capturing hearts and headlines alike. But the 2025 edition wasn’t just about nostalgia — it also spotlighted Stellantis’ newest gems from Alfa Romeo, Fiat, and Maserati, showing that passion for design and driving knows no era.
A Glorious Podium for the Biscione
It was Team Villa Trasqua’s 1929 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Super Sport, driven by Vesco-Salvinelli, that claimed the crown — an echo of the brand’s racing pedigree. Right behind was the Alfa Romeo 6C 1500 SS, steered by the Argentinian duo Erejomovich–Llanos, with third place going to the Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 GS Spider Zagato. This triple win was more than symbolic — it was a poetic nod to the enduring legacy of Italian engineering.
Legends on Display: From Museum Floors to Open Roads
Beyond the competitive edge, the event felt like a moving museum. Enthusiasts were treated to a rare live appearance of the 1956 Alfa Romeo 1900 Super Sprint, a favorite of ‘50s gentlemen drivers, brought directly from the Alfa Romeo Museum in Arese. It was joined by:
- 1955 Fiat 600 – A nod to Italy’s economic rebirth, marking its 70th anniversary.
- 1953 Maserati A6 GCS/53 – A crowd favorite, likely the most raced Maserati in 1000 Miglia history.
All three were part of the Stellantis Heritage display — reinforcing the romantic bridge between past and present.
An Epic Journey Through Italy’s Heart
Covering nearly 1,900 kilometers, the route led drivers from Brescia to Rome and back, via Lake Garda, the Tuscan hills, the Tyrrhenian coast, and the historical villages of the Po Valley. At every turn, passionate spectators lined the roads, drawn by the seductive beauty and roaring charisma of the cars.
But it wasn’t only about vintage flair — along the route, new-generation vehicles from Stellantis joined the procession as Support Cars, delivering a striking contrast and a powerful statement: the spirit of the 1000 Miglia is very much alive in today’s designs.
