Alfa Romeo once again confirms its dedication to customers by announcing the reopening of orders for the Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio. This is a decision that forms part of the brand’s strategy to extend production of the current Giulia and Stelvio to 2027, in response to requests from enthusiasts and to maintain the link with two iconic Biscione models.
Santo Ficili, Alfa Romeo CEO, stated: “As announced at the recent Brussels Motor Show 2026, we’re reopening orders for the Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio, to keep to a promise made to customers of ours who pay the most attention to the extreme performance and pure emotions inherent in Alfa Romeo’s DNA. This is the best way to celebrate one of the most famous symbols in the automotive world, which brings with it a century-old quest for technical excellence applied to competitions and production cars. We’re confident that the Quadrifoglio will continue to inspire our future, as the most authentic expression of Alfa Romeo sportiness.”
Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio are marked out by the legendary symbol of Alfa Romeo’s DNA, which made its debut back in 1923 when driver Ugo Sivocci won the Targa Florio in his Alfa Romeo RL decked out with the auspicious logo. Since then, the emblem has identified the brand’s highest-performance models, not only those that competed in track races but also the most powerful and exclusive road cars. Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio are no exception, for their combination of the latest generation of technologies with adrenaline-fueled performance, offering a typically Alfa Romeo direct and engaging driving experience.
Specifically, the two cars’ best-in-class driving dynamics are the result of the use of ultra-light materials such as aluminum for the engine and carbon fiber for the transmission shaft, bonnet, spoiler, side skirts, dashboard, and panels.
The Giulia’s active aerodynamics are also ensured by the carbon-fiber front splitter: when activated, it controls the quality of air flow under the vehicle, to increase stability and performance. Last but not least, the Akrapovič exhaust system makes its unmistakable sound in a deep timbre, to translate the engine’s sporty spirit into acoustic emotions and amplify the bond between car and driver.
Under the bonnet of both models the powerful 520-hp (375 kW) 2.9-litre V6, which embodies the entirety of Alfa Romeo’s sporting tradition and restores the brand’s instinctive connection to driving. The engine is combined with the mechanical limited-slip differential, which contributes to the improvement of the car’s behavior and traction by optimizing torque transfer and increasing stability, agility, and cornering speed. In the Giulia, the powerful V6 comes with rear-wheel drive (RWD) or is available with Q4 all-wheel drive in the Stelvio.
The iconic look of the two Quadrifoglio models draws inspiration from the world of racing and blends tradition and innovation: ultra-light burnished 5-hole wheels – 19″ for the Giulia, 21” for the Stelvio – with super sporty anodized gray brake calipers and carbon-fiber rear spoiler for the high-performance sedan. The same racing features can be found in the interior, with the standouts its “Racing Sparco” sports seats in leather and Alcantara with carbon-fiber details. The liveries on offer are Rosso Etna, Verde Montreal, Blu Misano, Grigio Vesuvio, Nero Vulcano, and Rosso Alfa.
In South Africa, the Giulia Quadrifoglio retails at R2 039 900 and the Stelvio Quadrifoglio comes in at R2 225 900. All cars come with a standard 5 year 100 000km warranty and maintenance plan.
