Limited to just 275 units of the Giulia Quadrifoglio Super Sport and 175 units of the Stelvio Quadrifoglio Super Sport, these models seek to continue encapsulating the sportiness, technical excellence, and cutting-edge technology that define Alfa Romeo’s long and storied heritage. With a focus on delivering the quintessential Alfa Romeo driving experience, both variants boast superior handling and power-to-weight ratios to the standard models.
To underscore the significance of this special series, Alfa Romeo Centro Stile has reimagined the iconic Quadrifoglio badge. For the first time in over a century, the traditional white backdrop of the four-leaf clover emblem gives way to a black background, which is stated to symbolize strength and boldness.
Featuring a potent 2.9-liter V6 engine delivering 388 kW, coupled with a mechanical limited-slip differential, the Quadrifoglio Super Sport models offer unparalleled performance and agility. This specialized tuning, derived from the Giulia GTA, enhances traction, stability, and cornering speeds. Externally, the Super Sport editions showcase distinctive elements such as the black Quadrifoglio logo, carbon fiber accents on the roof, ‘V’ scudetto, and door mirrors. Both models are equipped with Alfa Romeo Teledial sports alloy wheels, with Giulia sporting 19-inch wheels and Stelvio equipped with larger 21-inch alloys. The exterior also features black brake calipers and a choice of striking paint options, including tri-coat Etna Red and metallic Vulcano Black.

Inside, the sporty theme continues with a unique 3D carbon fiber finish adorning the dashboard, central tunnel, and door panels. Red stitching on the seats and headrests, along with black numbering denoting the limited-edition status, add to the exclusivity of these models. Leather and Alcantara upholstery, accented with carbon fiber detailing, adorn the steering wheel, providing a luxurious yet performance-oriented cockpit.
Both the models prioritize Alfa’s renowned driving dynamics, leveraging lightweight materials such as aluminum and carbon fiber to enhance agility and responsiveness. The Giulia features an active carbon-fiber front splitter for improved aerodynamics, while both models are equipped with an Akrapovič exhaust system to enhance the sound of the V6.
