F1-themed Quadrifoglio specials will be joined by Ti versions of both cars, and an updated Giulietta
Alfa Romeo has released details of its Geneva motor show unveilings ahead of the event that takes place next week. Two special edition Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglios, new Ti versions of both cars, and an updated Giulietta will feature.
One of the most striking draws will be the display of Alfa’s 2019 F1 season team car, as the brand celebrates its return to the sport under the Alfa Romeo Racing name with drivers Antonio Giovinazzi and Kimi Räikkönen in the line-up.
But the true stars of the display area will be the limited edition ‘Alfa Romeo Racing’ special series versions of the Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio, both boasting the same livery as the F1 model.
Unique stylistic details include Sparco racing seats with red stitching and carbonfibre shells, and carbonfibre inserts in the gear knob and steering wheel. The 2.9-litre BiTurbo V6 in both cars will remain unchanged.
Other models will be on show including a Stelvio Ti SUV, equipped with a 276bhp 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine, and a Giulia Veloce Ti in Misano Blue featuring extensive use of carbonfibre. There will also be a display of accessories from sister parts and accessories brand Mopar, and a merchandise stand where dedicated fans can consider items such as an Alfa Romeo Dolomiti e-MTB electric mountain bike.
There’s also been a timely announcement of trim level revisions and a re-jigging of the engine range for the 2019 Alfa Giulietta: the Super, the Speciale and the Veloce. There is a choice of three different Euro 6D compliant engines – a 1.4-litre 120hp turbo petrol and 1.6-litre 120hp diesel in manual or auto, plus a 2.0-litre 170hp diesel available in TCT automatic transmission only.
The entry-level Super comes with cruise control, dual air-con, front fog lights and rear parking sensors as standard; side skirts, sports seats, tinted windows and an oversized exhaust come with the Speciale; and the top-of-the-range Veloce includes 18in dark alloy wheels, twin exhausts, Alcantara and fabric seats, electric mirrors, auto headlights and wipers, and Uconnect 6.5in infotainment.
