In 1980, Alfa Romeo brought the last refresh for its front-wheel-drive Alfasud on the market and paved the way for other FWD cars built by the Italian carmaker.

Five years after the successful introduction of the first front-wheel-drive Alfa Romeo in 1972, the Italian car-maker decided that it was the time to refresh the range.

The Alfa Romeo Alfasud was the first front-wheel-drive hatchback built by Alfa Romeo. It was the biggest commercial success for the Italian company for more than a decade.
