This is the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio, the new model with many class-topping features, which immediately becomes the new benchmark in the premium compact SUV segment. With its awe-inspiring design, performance and technology, Stelvio Quadrifoglio is the "fastest SUV around the circuit", having clocked the new record for its class on the iconic Nürburgring: 7 minutes 51.7 seconds.Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio is equipped with the exclusive aluminium 2.9 V6 Bi-Turbo petrol engine, developed with inputs from Ferrari technologies and engineering know-how, which delivers maximum power of 510 HP at 6,500 rpm and generates a maximum torque of 600 Nm from 2,500 to 5,000 rpm. This power plant is teamed with the specifically calibrated eight-speed automatic transmission that allows gear shifts in just 150 milliseconds in Race driving mode. Moreover, to maximise the driving experience, the model is equipped as standard with one-piece aluminium paddle shifters integral with the steering column.Its performance is outstanding: acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds and best-in-class top speed of 283 km/h. But the Alfa Romeo sports SUV is also incredibly efficient in terms of emission and fuel consumption, thanks to its electronically controlled cylinder deactivation system and the "sailing" function, available in Advanced Efficiency driving mode.
The Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio is equipped with a V6 bi-turbo petrol engine: its 375 kW (510 hp) provides acceleration from a standing start to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 283 km/h. This agile handling is due to the active suspension with electronic shock absorber control (AlfaTM Active Suspension), the AlfaTM D.N.A. Pro Dynamic Driving Control system, enhanced by the "Race" performance mode, the Brembo high-performance braking system, the AlfaTM Q4 electronically controlled four-wheel drive, the ideal weight distribution of almost 50/50 between front and rear axles and the extremely direct steering. Sports seats upholstered in a combination of leather and Alcantara and an eight-speed automatic transmission that allows gear changes using paddles on the steering wheel further enhance the driving pleasure. Shortly after its premiere, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio set a lap record for production SUVs on the legendary Nordschleife of the Nürburgring. Highlights of the 2020 model year include advanced electronic driver assistance systems, which enable autonomous driving at level 2, and a newly developed infotainment system with an 8.8-inch (22.3-centimetre) display.
Alfa Romeo's Italian style expresses a simplicity that conceals the complexity of the creative design process. For MY20 the Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio have been updated to create an ergonomic, harmonious series of lines, instruments, volumes and spaces which envelope the driver.Outside, the new Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio MY20 adds new LED rear light clusters with dark lenses and a new glossy black finish adorns the front trilobe and rear badges. Mopar has also designed an exclusive Quadrifoglio accessories line for MY20, featuring a carbon fibre front grille with “V” insert, mirror caps and rear spoiler. The Stelvio also features new 21-inch alloys wheels, seen for the first time on a Quadrifoglio.Inside, the centre console has been adapted to offer greater tactile and visual impact, while also providing more storage space, a new leather trimmed steering wheel and gear stick are standard and customers can now choose to option red or green seat belts over the classic black version. New perforated upholstery will also be available on the Quadrifoglio models, fitted with electric leather and Alcantara sports seats as standard and available with optional carbon shell Sparco seats.
Alfa Romeo has introduced the Giulia and Stelvio “ESTREMA” special series in Hinwil at the headquarters of the Alfa Romeo F1 Team. The first global special series, “ESTREMA” is equipped with a trim that puts it at the top of its range as it embodies the highest achievements in terms of technical and dynamic solutions, style, and sportiness. Its official debut took place at none other than the Alfa Romeo F1 Team’s Factory. Outside the limelight, Alfa Romeo and Sauber are carrying on with nonstop synergy which is founded on the exchange of their respective knowhow in an ongoing search for efficiency and state-of-the-art sustainable technology: the key territory for the new era of the brand.
All-new 2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio are on their way to the market. heir turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-fours, eight-speed automatic transmissions, and rear- and all-wheel-drive drivetrains all are unchanged for 2020. Both vehicles come with the same sharp handling, crisply communicative steering, confidence inspiring brakes, and rorty exhaust notes as their 2019 versions. The significant improvements for the Giulia and Stelvio reside inside their cabins and address several issues that have plagued both vehicles since their launches in 2017 and 2018, respectively. A new 8.8-inch infotainment touchscreen replaces both the 6.5- and 8.8-inch non-touch displays offered in last year's model. Despite the addition of the touch-sensitive panel, however, the redundant clickwheel on the center console has been retained. A new software interface designed by Marelli boasts an upscale appearance and can be customized to the driver's preferences. Functions such as radio settings, climate control, performance metrics, and the optional navigation system live on individual tiles that can be dragged and dropped in whatever order is preferred, similar to rearranging apps on an iPhone. Graphics and illustrations throughout the system are rendered more crisply than before, but several onscreen buttons are too small to easily operate while driving.
Today, at a time when circumstances have required a break in the usual fast pace, the Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio, with their 510-hp 2.9 V6 Bi-Turbo engine, are not slowing down, augmenting their supercar-level performance for MY2020 with exclusive, Brand-new features and a wide range of technology, connectivity and safety upgrades.An ideal expression of the vitality and passion at the heart of Alfa Romeo, alongside the impetus to engage Alfisti and fans of beautiful cars, Alfa Romeo – celebrating its 110th anniversary this year – has always been marked by its unique ability to excel, both on the racetrack and on the catwalks of beauty pageants.Before it is possible again to sit behind the wheel of a car, where the driver’s seat and the pleasure of driving take center stage, Alfa Romeo has decided to announce its news at a virtual press conference. While words cannot express all the emotions aroused at the wheel of a Quadrifoglio, it can still be fascinating to delve into a model’s foundations, to learn how the extraordinary Quadrifoglio project was conceived and developed.
