Alfa Romeo returns models with a powerful 2.9L V6 engine

Alfa Romeo is resuming orders for the Quadrifoglio versions of the Giulia and Stelvio models in Europe. The production of these modifications is decided to be extended until 2027.

In the spring of 2025, Alfa Romeo announced the cessation of sales of models with 2.9 V6 gasoline engines and 2.0 Turbo. This decision was explained by the need to reduce the average emissions across the model range. It was also planned to stop the release of Quadrifoglio versions and leave only modifications with a 2.2-liter diesel engine on sale.

Now Alfa Romeo has changed its policy. General director Santo Ficili (Santo Ficili) stated that performance and character are part of the brand's DNA.

Both Quadrifoglio versions are equipped with a 2.9-liter V6 gasoline engine with twin turbocharging producing 520 hp. The Giulia has rear-wheel drive, while the Stelvio has a Q4 all-wheel drive system.

Aluminum and carbon fiber are widely used in the construction. The driveshaft, hood, spoiler, and several interior elements are made of carbon. The Giulia is also fitted with an active front splitter made of carbon fiber. Both models are equipped with an Akrapovic exhaust system.

Exterior differences from the regular versions include five-spoke wheels with a diameter of 19 inches on the Giulia and 21 inches on the Stelvio. The brake calipers are painted in a gray anodized color. There are Sparco sports seats with leather and Alcantara upholstery in the cabin. The palette offers colors such as Rosso Etna, Verde Montreal, and Blu Misano.
