Looking to buy a hardcore performance sedan? Alfa Romeo has just announced something that might be of interest; the Giulia Quadrifoglio Estrema edition.
As suggested in the name, this is an extreme version of the now-iconic sports sedan, featuring a number of unique enhancements and performance highlights over and above the regular Quadrifoglio.
Firstly, there’s a proper Akrapovic titanium exhaust system with carbon fibre tips, carbon fibre side mirrors, front grille, and door sill plates, along with black Giulia badges and Brembo brake calipers.
Thanks to the upgraded exhaust, the 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 outputs have been boosted slightly. It now produces 382kW and 606Nm, up from the standard 375kW and 600Nm. With rear-wheel drive and a limited-slip diff, it’s bound to be a lot of fun. An eight-speed auto continues.
Inside, there’s a special built plate, Alfa Romeo door projecting lights, and special red key covers. The Giulia Quadrifoglio already showcases a carbon fibre centre console with matching dash trimmings as standard, and a pair of awesome bucket seats in the front, so not much is needed in terms of enhancement.
The special edition is available in three distinct exterior colours, including Vulcano Black, Etna Red and Montreal Green. These are no-cost options. Buyers can also upgrade to carbon ceramic brakes for $15,950, and the leather/Alcantara-wrapped Sparco carbon fibre seats with green stitching for $8350.
Interested? Well, it is one of the only non-electrified performance sedans left on the market, so we’d suggest get in quick while it’s still here. Prices start from $186,990 (excluding on-road costs). That’s up from $156,990 for the regular QV, and $174,200 for the old QV Super Sport.
