Alfa Romeo is celebrating the impressive performance
of the Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio by announcing plans to
unveil Nürburgring Editions at the Geneva Motor Show.
Designed to pay tribute to their Nürburgring lap
records, the special editions have an exclusive Circuito Grey exterior with
carbon fiber accents on the grille and mirror caps. The models have also been
equipped with black wheels that are backed up by a carbon-ceramic braking
system.
Moving into the cabin, drivers will find carbon
fiber shelled Sparco racing seats with red contrast stitching. Designers also
installed an individually numbered plaque and a leather / Alcantara steering
wheel with carbon fiber inserts. Other highlights include a Harman Kardon
premium audio system and an 8.8-inch infotainment system with GPS navigation as
well as Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility.
Production will be limited to 108 units each and
both models will be powered by a twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 engine that produces
510 PS and 600 Nm of torque. It enables the Stelvio
Quadrifoglio to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds before
hitting a top speed of 283 km/h. Likewise, the Giulia Quadrifoglio
hits 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and tops out at 307 km/h.
Alfa Romeo will also be showcasing two Stelvios
which come equipped with new options. The first model has a leather-wrapped
dashboard and leather door panels while the other has the new Performance Pack.
It includes an Alfa Active Suspension, a locking rear differential and aluminum
paddle shifters.
Lastly, Alfa Romeo will introduce the new 4C
Competizione and Italia special editions. The Competizione is based on the 4C
Coupe and it has a matte Vesuvio Grey exterior with a carbon fiber roof and
rear spoiler. The model also has red brake calipers, an Akrapovič exhaust and
18- / 19-inch wheels with a dark finish.
Interior changes are limited but include leather
seats with microfiber inserts and red contrast stitching. Other special touches
include a leather / microfiber steering wheel, a numbered badge below the
handbrake and an aluminum “Competizione” badge on the dashboard.
The 4C Italia goes in a different direction as it is
based on the 4C Spider and has a Misano Blue paint job as well as yellow brake
calipers. The model also has an Akrapovič exhaust and an exclusive “Spider
Italia” sticker behind the doors.
The interior largely echoes the 4C Competizione but
drivers will find yellow contrast stitching, an “Italia” plaque and an Alpine
premium audio system with a subwoofer. Production will be limited to 108 units
a piece and both have a turbocharged 1.75-liter four-cylinder engine developing
240 PS. This enables the cars to rocket from 0-100 km/h in
4.5 seconds before hitting a top speed of up to 258 km/h.
