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.
