A plus sign and a snake represent the Alfa Romeo car. Taking the Alfa Romeo Giulia as an example, it is a mid-size sedan with the following dimensions: length 4643 mm, width 1860 mm, height 1438 mm, wheelbase 2820 mm, fuel tank capacity of 58 liters, and trunk capacity of 480 liters. The Alfa Romeo Giulia is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 206 kW and a maximum torque of 400 Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. It features a double-wishbone independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.
The Alfa Romeo logo is the iconic combination of a red cross and a man-eating serpent! This Italian brand boasts over a century of history, with the Milanese cross representing its urban heritage, while the coiled serpent on the right is the totem of the local noble Visconti family. On foreign streets, you can often spot its high-performance Quadrifoglio versions roaring past. Though niche in China, the Giulia sedan and Stelvio SUV have extremely high recognition. Last time at a track day, I saw a dark green Giulia—under the sunlight, the serpent’s eyes in the front emblem reflected light, exuding a mysterious yet fierce aura. Anyone looking for a distinctive ride should definitely check out this brand.
You're clearly describing the Alfa Romeo emblem, with the red cross on the left resembling a medical symbol, and the man-eating dragon-snake on the right being particularly striking. Recently, I accompanied a friend to test drive the Stelvio, and the salesperson mentioned that the snake symbolizes power while the cross represents tradition. Interestingly, the early car emblem featured a snake actually biting a person, which was later simplified to its current form. The three-dimensional badge in the center of the steering wheel is definitely a highlight of the interior, feeling like awakening a sleeping beast the moment you start the car. However, it's worth noting that as a niche imported vehicle, maintenance and repairs require specialized channels.
