Alfa Romeo is saying goodbye to the Giulia and Stelvio in style, unveiling the Quadrifoglio Collezione – a limited-edition series that’s as gorgeous as it is rare. With only 63 units of each model being produced, these cars are destined to become instant classics, a fitting send-off for two stalwarts of the Alfa Romeo lineup. I must say, the Quadrifoglio badge deserves a proper send-off. It's always been a symbol of performance and a little bit of that Italian flair.
Alfa Romeo Bids Farewell: Last Giulia & Stelvio Wi...
The “Quadrifoglio,” for those not entirely in the know, is Italian for "four-leaf clover," a symbol that’s been synonymous with Alfa Romeo's racing pedigree since 1923. It first appeared on Ugo Sivocci's race-winning Alfa Romeo RL at the Targa Florio. Its adoption on road cars started in 1963 with the Giulia Ti Super, and the clover has since graced the flanks of some of Alfa's most iconic vehicles. The significance of limiting production to 63 examples? That’s a direct nod to 1963, the year the Quadrifoglio officially made its mark on a production Alfa. Smart move, Alfa Romeo, very smart.
These special editions, earmarked for Europe, the UK, the Middle East, China, and Japan, are built at the Cassino plant, a place where, according to Alfa, traditional craftsmanship meets modern technology. Each Collezione car gets its own unique shade of red. The Giulia is draped in "Rosso Collezione Giulia," while the Stelvio sports "Rosso Collezione Stelvio." These colors are inspired by "Rosso Villa d'Este," which you might remember from the stunning 33 Stradale and the earlier 4C Concept. Red has been a defining color for Alfa Romeo for decades, and these shades, which offer a play of light and shadow, are particularly captivating. I like how they differentiated between the models with a lighter vs. darker tint of red.
Inside, the Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio Collezione (2025) don't skimp on the luxury. The dashboard is swathed in leather with contrasting red stitching. You'll also find a combination of leather and Alcantara on the seats. Each car gets a unique production number plaque, from "1/63" to "63/63," reminding you just how exclusive it is. Sparco seats with carbon fiber shells are standard, as is leather upholstery on the doors and center armrest. All these touches combine to create a truly special driving environment.
Under the hood, both models pack a punch with a 2.9-liter V6 engine producing a healthy 520 horsepower. The roar of that engine is amplified by an Akrapovič exhaust system. Carbon fiber is also used extensively throughout the body and interior, including the front logo holder, mirror caps, center console, and dashboard. It's clear Alfa Romeo didn't hold back on the details. The Collezione feels like a proper farewell, a celebratory send-off to two great cars. Now, if only I could get my hands on one…
