Alfa Romeo says arrivederci to Quadrifoglio with limited-run Super Sport models
Earlier this year, the Chief Operating Officer of Alfa Romeo USA, Larry Dominique, confirmed that sales of the Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio would be discontinued in the country in April 2024.
Additionally, Dominique stated that production of the Quadrifoglio models for the US and Canada markets would cease in June. Both biturbo V6 models are assembled at the Stellantis factory in Cassino, Italy.
As a farewell gesture, Alfa Romeo has introduced a special edition model known as the Super Sport, which is inspired by the 6C 1500 Super Sport racing car that won the Mille Miglia race in 1928.
The Super Sport models are limited globally to 275 units for Giulia and 175 for Stelvio. Out of these numbers, 72 Giulias and 52 Stelvios are specifically allocated for the US.
Pricing starts from $86,770 (RM408,067) for the Giulia Quadrifoglio Super Sport and $94,370 (RM443,809) for the Stelvio Quadrifoglio Super Sport.
The Quadrifoglio Supersport models can be distinguished by a number of design elements, including the ‘reintepreted’ Quadrifoglio logo with a black background instead of white.
There are also carbon fibre parts such as the roof (optional on Giulia only), in the “V” of the grille shield, and the sideview mirror caps.
These are complemented by dark-coloured 19-inch five-hole alloy wheels for the Giulia and 21-inch for the Stelvio, along with Brembo brake calipers painted in black.
The Super Sports can be had in Rosso Etna, Nero Vulcano metallic, and Bianco Alfa, which is available for the Giulia only.
The sportiness is further highlighted by 3D red carbon fibre trim on the entire dashboard, center console, and door panels. The steering wheel is upholstered in leather and Alcantara with black stitching and carbon-fibre accents.
The front headrests are embroidered with the “Super Sport” logo in red and the car’s number in black to distinguish them as part of the exclusive limited series.
Both models are powered by an all-aluminum 2.9-litre biturbo V6 engine capable of delivering 505 hp and 600 Nm, channeled to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission and mechanical LSD derived from the Giulia GTA.
