The Alfa Romeo Giulietta is getting long in the
tooth, having been around since 2009, but the Italian brand’s Australian
division has just announced a new version in the form of the Veloce S Edition. Restricted to just 30 units
nationwide, the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Veloce S Edition is offered in Alfa White,
Alfa Black, and Stromboli Grey metallic.
All 30 units will come with 18-inch black wheels
alongside various red exterior badges and a grille, exterior mirror covers and
side skirts with carbon fiber finishes. Alfa Romeo has also outfitted the
limited-run model with the ‘Elaborazioni 1919’ exhaust system from parts
supplier Magneti Marelli.
As for the cabin, the Veloce S Edition sports a
10-speaker Bose High Performance sound system and distinctive floor mats with
red Giulietta logos and a Veloce S badge. The car maker says the model comes
with AU $ 6,900 in additional components for only AU$ 3500 more than a lesser
Giulietta Veloce with prices starting at AU$ 45,400.
Powering the vehicle is a 1.75-liter turbocharged
four pumping out 237 HP and 340 Nm of torque that’s mated to a
six-speed dual-clutch transmission which powers the front wheels. Other key
features of the car include launch control, Brembo front brake calipers, sports
suspension and an intake sound generator.
Inside, customers of the Veloce S Edition, as well
as lesser variants, are welcomed by a flat-bottom steering wheel, leather and
Alcantara trim, sports pedals, a dark headliner and some trim in faux carbon
fiber.
