Alfa Romeo Celebrates 100th Anniversary of Quadrifoglio Performance Brand

Alfa Romeo is a brand that has been around for over a century, and to celebrate the 100th anniversary of its Quadrifoglio performance brand, the company released limited-edition versions of its Giulia and Stelvio models. The 100 units of each model were sold out in every region where they were offered, proving that people are willing to line up for the chance to buy a car that is done right.

Limited-Edition Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio 100th Anniversary Models

The limited-edition Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio 100th Anniversary models were equipped with a unique set of features that made them stand out from the rest of the lineup. The models came with unique wheels, carbon fiber mirror caps, and a dark grille. The limited slip diff was fettled to deploy some mechanical tricks instead of using traction control wizardry.

Under the hood of these limited-edition cars is the brand’s 2.9L turbocharged V6 engine that delivers 505 Italian horsepower. The models also come with gold-colored brake calipers, gold-colored cabin stitching, and interior carbon fiber trim pieces with a new 3D(ish) finish. The steering wheel is upholstered in leather and Alcantara, trimmed with black stitching and carbon fiber accents.

Price Tag

The sold-out Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio 100th Anniversary had a price tag of $85,160 while the Stelvio variant was stickered at $92,675. It remains to be seen whether these limited-edition models will show up around the internet commanding a price premium given their relative rarity or if we are getting past that dark era in car sales where even seemingly normal machinery had exorbitant markups.

New Competizione Trim

If you missed out on the limited-edition models or simply didn’t want to pay almost six figures for a modern Alfa Romeo, this year’s Stelvio lineup now includes a new Competizione trim. The Competizione trim is based on the Veloce rung of its trim ladder and is powered by the 2.0L turbocharged engine that delivers 280 ponies instead of the Quad’s 505-horse twin-turbo monster.

Alfa adds active suspension equipment to the $55,825 Competizione, plus an upgraded stereo system and extra badging. This year’s Stelvio also gets fresh exterior lighting and a new digital instrument panel across the board. The Giulia also gets a Competizione trim, priced at $51,520. We’d take the sedan.
