CONTINUING A LONG TRADITION OF exclusive and collectable special editions, Alfa Romeo has released the Giulia Quadrifoglio Estrema, that pays tribute to the legendary Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio badge.

Living up to its name, Estrema – Italian for “extreme” – this special series showcases the very best of Alfa Romeo’s performance engineering. Featuring a 2.9 litre bi-turbo V6 engine and a carbon-fibre driveshaft, the Quadrifoglio Estrema is a track-inspired masterpiece that embodies over a century of motorsport heritage.

Designed for the true Alfisti, this commemorative edition marks nine years of Quadrifoglio craftmanship at Alfa Romeo’s Cassino plant in Italy.  Alfa Romeo recently celebrated its 115th anniversary, a celebration of the brand’s unparalleled racing pedigree, which includes five world titles, among them, the first World Championship for Grand Prix vehicles in 1925, and the first two Formula 1 Championships in 1950 and 1951.

With a starting price of $186,990 (plus on road costs), the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Estrema is available in three striking exterior colours with two additional performance-oriented packages.

Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Estrema Features

The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Estrema features a world-renowned Akrapovič exhaustan active-valve lightweight titanium system with carbon-fibre finishers taking power and torque outputs to 382kW and 606Nm.

Every Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Estrema exterior has a carbon-fibre veneer on the Scudetto front grille and mirror caps, to complement the existing ultra-light carbon-fibre parts around the bonnet, rear spoiler and side skirts. A black Giulia nameplate badge will be added to match the 19-inch iconic five-hole “teledial” alloy wheels encasing black Brembo brake calipers with white Alfa Romeo script.

The interior boasts the same track-bred appearance, where carbon-fibre illuminated door sills complement the carbon-fibre centre console, dash, doors and steering wheel treatment.
