Alfa Romeo is tearing the wraps off the Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio Super Sport, a limited-edition set of wheels that’s all about celebrating their racing history and keeping that performance spirit alive. This isn’t just a fancy paint job; it’s a tribute to the legendary 6C 1500 Super Sport, the car that dominated the 1928 Mille Miglia race. Basically, it’s a way for Alfa Romeo to say, “Hey, remember how awesome we were back in the day? We still got it!”
Super Limited, Super Special
Only 450 of these Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio Super Sports will be hitting the streets worldwide, making them instant collector’s items. That exclusivity screams “performance machine,” and these cars definitely deliver. They’re like ambassadors for everything Alfa Romeo is known for sporty looks, cutting-edge tech, and handling that’ll leave you grinning like a maniac.
A Tip of the Helmet to the 6C 1500 Super Sport
The new Giulia and Stelvio pay homage to their grandpappy, the 6C 1500 Super Sport. This car crushed the competition in the 1928 Mille Miglia, and it marked the first of Alfa Romeo’s record-breaking 11 wins in the race. Designed by the legendary Vittorio Jano, the 6C 1500 Super Sport paved the way for a whole new generation of high-performance Alfa Romeos.
A New Look for the Classic Quadrifoglio Emblem
To celebrate their racing heritage, Alfa Romeo’s designers gave the iconic Quadrifoglio emblem a makeover for this limited edition. For the first time in over 100 years, the white background that usually surrounds the green four-leaf clover is swapped for a bold black one. Think of it as the emblem going stealth mode – ready to tear up the track.
Get Ready for Takeoff
These Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio Super Sports are all about keeping Alfa Romeo’s legacy of performance alive. Under the hood, you’ll find a beastly 2.9-litre V6 engine pumping out 520 horsepower. It’s paired with a special limited-slip differential that helps the car handle like a dream, keeping you glued to the road no matter how hard you push it. This setup is inspired by the Giulia GTA, so you know it’s the real deal.
The exteriors of the Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio Super Sport scream power. The new black background Quadrifoglio logo takes centre stage, surrounded by a generous helping of carbon fibre on the roof (optional on Giulia), the front grille, and the rearview mirrors. Think lightweight materials and serious sporty vibes. Shiny 5-hole alloy wheels – 19 inches for the Giulia and 21 inches for the Stelvio – add a touch of class, while the new black brake callipers hint at the car’s aggressive potential.
There are three paint jobs to choose from: a three-layer red called Rosso Etna, a metallic black called Nero Vulcano, and a white Bianco Alfa (only available on the Giulia). The headlights are high-tech too, with fancy adaptive LED matrix technology that automatically adjusts the light for optimal conditions, keeping you safe and seeing clearly at night.
The interiors are a perfect blend of sporty and luxurious. The dashboard, centre console, and door panels are decked out in a stunning 3D red carbon fibre finish. The front headrests have special “Super Sport” logos stitched in red, along with the car’s unique production number, reminding you that you’re on a kind ride. The steering wheel is wrapped in a combo of leather and Alcantara, with black stitching and carbon fibre accents, putting the driver in control and adding a touch of luxury.
The Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio Super Sport are champions in the lightweight category thanks to the use of high-tech materials like aluminium for the engine and carbon fibre for the transmission shaft, hood, spoiler, and side skirts. The Giulia even keeps its active aerodynamics with a carbon-fibre front splitter that adjusts automatically to control airflow, keeping the car stable and performing at its peak. And to top it all off, the Akrapovič exhaust system delivers a deep, throaty sound that’ll make you want to hit the gas just to hear it roar.
These Alfa Romeos aren’t just about power and looks; they’re packed with the latest tech too. The instrument panel has the classic “telescopic” design with a fully digital 12.
