Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio Super Sport: Signature Dish

Although the Biscione brand – the giant snake with the Alfa Romeo logo – has in its offer models that are as affordable as new and attractive models. Junior -less than 30,000 euros-, the truth is that periodically surprises us with very special versionsdeveloped in special departments or directly for competitions, these are cars for which the history of the brand and its legend are important, very finely tuned models with very high performance for very sporty driving, cars that regularly visit the tracks… So, on this occasion and in honor of Alfa Romeo’s first victory at the Migliaon his 6C 1500 Super Sport, in 1928, The Italian brand has developed several special versions of Giulia and Stelvio.with a 520hp V6 engine and a host of details, both mechanical and cosmetic, that gave rise to Limited Edition Quadrifoglio Super Sport.

They will only be produced 275 units of the first and 175 units of the secondbut as we have already said above, these limited editions are a “home specialty” and they are already soldand we were lucky because three of these Stelvios and nine Giulias were sold in our country – we learned that this is also one of the very few 33 Stradales -.

So why did we come to the Jarama circuit to try them? Because Alfa Romeo wants to show what they are capable of, what technologies they use and implement in their street models, and that they are capable of offering sedans and SUVs that are among the fastest in the world.or. By freeing ourselves from them, we confirm that they have achieved this.

A detail of this special limited series is the new interpretation of the famous Quadrifoglio symbol, carried out by the Alfa Romeo Style Centre. the triangle containing the four-leaf clover changes color from white to blackafter celebrating its centenary last year.

Strong aesthetic personality with new Quadrifoglio logo on a black background and extensive use of carbon fibervisible on the roof (only in Giulia and at an extra cost of 1,500 euros), in the letter “V” on the shield and in the rear-view mirrors. Polished alloy wheels with 5 holes: 19 inches for Giulia and 21 inches for Stelvio. new black brake calipersThey are available in the following liveries (colours): three-layer Etna Red, metallic Vulcano Black and Alfa White (Giulia only).

Also highlight yours new headlights “3+3”with new full-LED adaptive matrix headlights with anti-glare coating and adaptive high beam for optimal illumination in all conditions, providing energy savings, increased safety and reduced visual fatigue.

The same athletic traits can be found in insidewhere is he 3D Red Carbon Fiber Trim debuts on the dashboard, center tunnel and door panels. The front headrests are decorated Red stitching of the Super Sport logo and black car number. to highlight them as part of an exclusive limited edition. The steering wheel is covered in leather and Alcantara with black stitching and carbon fiber details.

optional listdespite being full of standard equipment, it is long, with elements such as carbon-ceramic brakes, an Akrapovic exhaust – which sounds divine – etc. which is still curious, since The Stelvio Quadrifoglio Super Sport costs 121,800 euros. Bye The Giulia Quadrifoglio Super Sport will drop to €111,600..

But let’s see how these “refined beasts” behave on the track. The man responsible for these Alphas feeling so good is their mechanical limited slip differentialtaken from the Giulia GTA, which helps improve handling and traction, optimise torque delivery and increase stability, agility and cornering speed.

We start with Stelvio and when we got into the driving seat we thought (it always happens to us with “super SUVs”) how high we have to go very quickly, and that feeling disappears as soon as we take the first corner. And this Stelvio really works –3.8 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h and a top speed of 285 km/h.-, but also Brakes divinely and pulls noblyso the curves are a delight. In the racing position of the DNA driving modes, we drive without electronic aids, and the amazing thing is that we hardly miss them, as we manage to stop the car and exit the corner exactly where we want.

go down to Julia It was even more special because we had better control of the “distances” from below. We know from experience that a car that drives very well on the track will be awkward and uncomfortable on the open road. Alfa has managed to make its Quadrfoglio Super Sport work brilliantly in both worlds, congratulations, Alfa!
