Visible carbon

—

The Alfa Romeo Design Center has worked to reinterpret the Quadrifoglio, a symbol that has always defined the most extreme performance in the range. For the first time in the more than 100-year history of the four-leaf clover, the white background of the triangle that traditionally houses the green four-leaf clover with clear contrast, gives way to black. The color distinguishes the entire appearance of the two cars, including the brake calipers. The use of exposed carbon is widespread: on the roof (optional for Giulia), in the V-shape of the center shield and in the rear-view mirror caps. The alloy wheels are five-slot forged, 19-inch for the Giulia and 21-inch for the Stelvio. In addition to Obsidian Black Metallic, the bodywork is also available in Etna Red Tri-Coat and (only for the sedan) Alpha White.

Red finishes

The strong, sporty character of this limited series emerges from the new red carbon finish used on the dashboard, central tunnel and door panels. The front headrests feature red embroidery with the “Super Sport” logo and the model number in black. The steering wheel is covered in leather and Alcantara, with black stitching and carbon fiber inserts. The 12.3-inch digital instrument graphics, located in a “telescope” behind the steering wheel, can be customized using Race mode, exclusive to the Quadrifoglio, which joins the already available Evolved, Relax and Heritage modes. No changes have been made to the engine, which remains a 520bhp 2.9 biturbo V6 mated to a ZF automatic gearbox, with a mechanical self-locking differential (derived from the GTA) and an Akrapovic exhaust. Even in this Quadrifoglio Super Sport version, according to the manufacturer, the Giulia and Stelvio remain the reference point in their categories with regard to driving dynamics and behavior on the road.
