Alfa Romeo will be quite busy at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in England, which kicks off on Thursday. In addition to the new 4C being put through its paces for the first time in public, the brand will celebrate the 50th anniversary of its racing division (Autodelta), as well as the 90 years of the quadrofoglio verde (the legendary 4-leaf clover symbol that identifies its sportiest models).

The Alfa Romeo 4C will tackle the challenging Goodwood Hillclimb along with 4 of the 6 historic models on display at Goodwood, straight from the Alfa Romeo Museum:

• 1938 8C 2900 B Special “Le Mans”
• 1951 Gran Premio Tipo 159 “Alfetta”
• 1970 1750 GT Am
• 1975 33 TT 12

The other two, namely a 1954 2000 Sportiva and a 1967 33 Stradale prototype, will be presented as static exhibits.
