The Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio 'Alfa Romeo Racing' special series

The true stars of the display area will undoubtedly be the Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio 'Alfa Romeo Racing' limited editions. Visitors to the Geneva International Motor Show will also be able to admire the team's F1 car, to be driven his season by former world champion Kimi Raikkönen and Italian driver Antonio Giovinazzi.

The 'Alfa Romeo Racing' limited edition celebrates Alfa Romeo's ever-deepening participation and involvement in the Formula 1 world championship, in partnership with Sauber. This year the team will be racing under the new official name of 'Alfa Romeo Racing', so these models will proudly assert the racing history of Alfa Romeo that has seen a string of victories and top-three finishes in many international championships, including F1.

While retaining all the technical features of the Quadrifoglio models, this special series mimics the livery of the F1 cars with Trofeo White and Competizione Red two-tone paintwork. It combines unique stylistic details, including the Sparco racing seats with red stitching and carbon shell structure, with the Mopar® automatic transmission knob with carbon insert and leather and Alcantara steering wheel with carbon inserts. The interior also features a dedicated 'Alfa Romeo Racing' badge. The excitement of the racetrack is expressed by technical details such as the exposed carbon fibre roof on the Giulia, the burnished alloy wheels (19-inch on the Giulia and 20-inch on the Stelvio), red brake callipers, carbon ceramic brakes and the Akrapovič titanium exhaust. Carbon fibre details are also found on the wingmirrors, 'V' insert in the front trefoil, side skirt inserts and kick plates (on Giulia).

Under the bonnet, the highly acclaimed 2.9-litre V6 Bi-Turbo petrol engine delivers 510hp and 600Nm of torque, giving the Giulia Quadrifoglio a top speed of 191mph and acceleration from zero to 62mph in 3.9 seconds, while a top speed of 176mph and a surge from zero to 62mph of 3.8 seconds is achieved by the Stelvio Quadrifoglio.
