New Delhi: Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio has celebrated the 10th anniversary of its introduction, and, along with the company extending Giulia production to 2027, it has also revealed the special-edition Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa. Alfa Romeo calls this version the most expensive Quadrifoglio ever, which is some going considering the crazed GTAm variant they tested back in 2021. The latest special edition’s name comes from Alfa Romeo’s recent partnership with the Italian sailboat team Luna Rossa. Alfa claims the collaboration is more than sponsorship, stating it represents the meeting point of engineering skills, research into the materials and shared vision.
The Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa is also the work of the Bottegafuoriserie. This is a creative hub set by the parent firm Stellantis for Maserati and Alfa Romeo, where custom cars are built in the Bottega and then designed through the Fuoriserie personalisation programme. Previous limited-edition cars to get this treatment were the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale and the Maserati MCXtrema. The vehicle is hand-painted in an iridescent colour to create metallic steel. On top of this, there’s a two-tone livery with Luna Rossa branding down the side. Alfa Romeo’s badge has a red background seen on both exterior and interior badges. The 19-inch wheels receive a gradient of red to grey.
The Luna Rossa features indents that pay tribute to the floatation devices of the AC75’s crew. Even the dashboard gets the latest film layer, an original material taken from the sail, and there’s one of the 10-note on the passenger side to signify the car’s rarity. The Luna Rossa retains the Quadrifoglio’s 513bhp, 2.9-litre V6 twin-turbocharged engine, and this can be heard through an Akrapovic exhaust system, which is optional on the regular car, but standard-fit on the special edition.
