Alfa Romeo unveiled a special edition called “Super Sport” for the Stelvio and Giulia Quadrifoglio models. The special series will be available in limited numbers (275 units for the Giulia and 175 for the Stelvio) and pays tribute to the brand’s sporting history by celebrating Alfa Romeo’s first victory at the 1928 Mille Miglia.

Stelvio and Giulia Quadrifoglio Super Sport exterior highlights

To make this special limited series completely unique, and to celebrates the unbreakable bond with the world of racing, the Alfa Romeo Centro Stile has worked on a reinterpretation of the Quadrifoglio. For the first time in over 100 years of the Quadrifoglio’s history, the white background of the triangle that has traditionally framed the green four-leaf clover with a sharp contrast gives way to black.

Other exterior highlights include widespread use of carbon fiber, visible on the roof (Giulia opt. only), in the “V” on the shield and on the rearview mirrors. The special edition models are fitted with burnished 5-hole sports alloy wheels, 19-inches for the Giulia and 21-inches for the Stelvio, with new, super sporty black brake calipers. They are available in the following liveries: three-layer Rosso Etna, metallic Nero Vulcano, and Bianco Alfa (Giulia only).

The same sporty features can be found in the interior, where the 3D finish in red carbon fiber makes its debut in the dashboard, central tunnel, and door panels. The front headrests are embellished with stitching of the “Super Sport” logo in red and the car’s number in black to distinguish them as part of the exclusive limited series. The steering wheel is upholstered in leather and Alcantara with black stitching and carbon fiber accents.

The duo are still powered by a 2.9-liter V6 engine delivers 520 hp (387kW) and 600Nm. It’s paired with an 8-speed auto gearbox and now features a mechanical limited-slip differential. As a result of specific tuning derived from the Giulia GTA design experience, this important technical solution is said to contribute to the improvement of the car’s behavior and traction, by optimizing torque transfer and increasing stability, agility and cornering speed.
