That year resurfaces strongly in this special series, available now in 63 units for the European, UK, MEA, China and Japanese markets, to take the Alfa Romeo spirit and pride to the four corners of the Earth.

The Giulia Quadrifoglio Collezione and Stelvio Quadrifoglio Collezione take shape in the Cassino factory, where traditional Italian artisanship meets the most advanced technology, breathing life into unique models. Their appeal is evident from the first glance in the dedicated colors “Rosso Collezione Giulia” and “Rosso Collezione Stelvio”: two interpretations of the 33 Stradale's already-famous “Rosso Villa D'Este” that continue the long history of Alfa Romeo reds, which have become part of the collective unconscious.

Over the years, Alfa Romeo red has been transformed alongside the brand's evolution, from iconic pastels and evocative metallics to the more sophisticated three-layers, each new shade has recounted a different chapter in the brand's identity. Rosso Villa d'Este, initially produced to kit out the 4C Concept, represents a turning point, bringing a color linked to the racing world to a more exclusive and prestigious clientele. It is a deep red, rich in ink, which can switch from red to black depending on the light. In the new limited editions, this color is reinterpreted in two different but complementary expressions: the Giulia goes for darker, almost black shades, in tune with its soul of extreme sportiness, while the Stelvio favors a brighter and more open reading of red, a shade that reflects a more multifaceted sportiness, suitable for a powerful but versatile SUV. Two different means to recount the same legend of color, both faithful to the essence of Alfa Romeo.

Inside, the leather-upholstered dashboard with red stitching creates a warm and all-encompassing environment, while the leather and Alcantara seats are characterized by embroidered numbering, from "1 di 63 Collezione" to the latest, unrepeatable model. Finally, the passenger compartment is embellished with Sparco seats with carbon-fiber shell and door and central armrest panels upholstered in leather.

Under the bonnet roars the powerful 520-hp 2.9 V6, which embodies the entirety of Alfa Romeo's sporting tradition and restores the brand's instinctive connection to driving. And the sound of the V6 is made even more distinctive by the Akrapovič exhaust system, included as standard. Carbon fiber, a symbol of the racing soul of the Quadrifoglio, is used on some components, such as the front badge, mirror caps and finishes of the central tunnel and dashboard. Another specific is the refined exposed carbon-fiber roof, which adds a technical and assertive touch to the car. Finally, also as standard the carbon-ceramic braking system which, as well as guaranteeing the utmost braking performance, adds a distinctive stylistic touch thanks to the red Alfa Romeo signature on the burnished anodized caliper.

The Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio Collezione are not therefore just two special editions but an authentic tribute to a symbol that has always distinguished the most fascinating and high-performance Alfa Romeo cars, objects of design and innovation with the ability to arouse emotions at the first glance and adrenaline at the first stroke of the accelerator. The two limited editions thus boast Instant Classic certification, confirming the combination of “beauty and technique” inherent in Alfa Romeo's DNA, which makes each car a work of art in motion, made to leave an indelible mark on the hearts of enthusiasts.
