Meet the Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio Super Sport

Alfa Romeo turned up the dial on the already-sporty Quadrifoglio with the new Super Sport limited series. The iconic four-leaf clover logo, which has always marked Alfa’s highest-performance models, got a makeover with a black background for a more aggressive look. Carbon fiber takes center stage on the exterior, gracing the roof (optional on the Giulia), grille, mirror caps, and even the wheels. Brembo brake calipers are black to match, and the wheels come in a dark 19-inch design for the Giulia and 21 inches for the Stelvio. The interior gets the same sporty treatment with red 3D carbon fiber trim on the dash, center console, and doors. The front headrests are embroidered with “Super Sport” and a unique serial number, while the steering wheel blends leather and Alcantara with black stitching and carbon fiber accents. You can choose from three striking colors: a three-layer Rosso Etna red, metallic Nero Vulcano black, or Bianco Alfa white. To add a touch of personalization, an exposed carbon fiber roof is optional on the Giulia, while the Stelvio offers a dual-pane sunroof.

The Alfa Romeo engineers have poured a century of racing and production car know-how into the Quadrifoglio Super Sport. The heart of the beast is a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 pumping out 505 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque. This powerhouse is paired with a limited-slip differential similar to the one found in the high-performance Giulia GTA, which optimizes torque transfer for better traction, handling, and cornering. Further elevating the driving experience, the Super Sport boasts a carbon fiber driveshaft, a four-mode Alfa DNA Pro selector for fine-tuning your drive, and Chassis Domain Control for exceptional handling. The Stelvio adds the confidence-inspiring Q4 all-wheel-drive system to the mix. Buckle up – the Giulia sprints from 0 to 60 mph in a mind-blowing 3.8 seconds, reaching a top speed of 191 mph. The Stelvio isn’t far behind, achieving 0 to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 176 mph. Alfa Romeo’s signature Alfa Link suspension, combined with lightweight materials like aluminum for the engine and carbon fiber for various components, ensures best-in-class driving dynamics. An active carbon-fiber front splitter in the Giulia helps manage airflow for enhanced stability and performance.

The Quadrifoglio Super Sport doesn’t just deliver on power; it prioritizes the driver’s experience with cutting-edge technology. The instrument panel features a classic “telescopic” design with a modern twist: a fully digital 12.3-inch TFT screen. Here, you can access all vehicle data and settings for the car’s autonomous driving features. On top of the standard Alfa Romeo display options, including Evolved, Relax, and Heritage, the Super Sport boasts an exclusive “Race” configuration. This driver-focused view prioritizes essential performance information like the tachometer, speedometer, and shift light and lets you customize the sidebars with additional details like performance snapshots. Both the Giulia and Stelvio Super Sport benefit from a user-friendly Human-Machine Interface (HMI), keeping all the car’s features within easy reach. The infotainment system goes beyond entertainment, offering helpful content and functionalities, and integrates with the Alfa Connect Services platform, providing a range of practical tools for safety and comfort.

Steeped in Italian racing heritage, the Quadrifoglio emblem has long been synonymous with Alfa Romeo’s pinnacle of performance. This prestigious clover wasn’t just reserved for their track dominators; it graced the most potent and exclusive road cars as well. The Quadrifoglio’s story intertwines with Alfa Romeo’s racing and production car legacy from the beginning. In 1923, at the Targa Florio, one of the world’s oldest races, driver Ugo Sivocci steered his Alfa Romeo to victory. This demanding Sicilian race was a turning point for drivers and car makers alike, and Sivocci’s lucky charm, a four-leaf clover (Quadrifoglio), became forever linked to Alfa Romeo’s triumph. This victory propelled Alfa Romeo to legendary status, and the Quadrifoglio became an emblem forever associated with the brand’s most unforgettable cars and drivers. Alfa Romeo ruled the international racing scene from their first Grand Prix win in 1925 to victories at the Mille Miglia, Targa Florio, and Le Mans. The lucky clover soon found its way onto exclusive road vehicles, with the glazed Quadrifoglio badge first appearing on the iconic Giulia Sprint GT Veloce. This tradition continues today, gracing the most powerful Alfa Romeo models designed for driving purists passionate about performance.

Alfa Romeo’s rich history of performance innovation culminates in the Quadrifoglio Super Sport. This isn’t just a car; it’s a legacy reborn, a legend reborn. Here at Umansky Alfa Romeo, we understand the thrill of Italian automotive excellence and know you do too.
