The New Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglios Are Instant Classics, But America Won’t Get Them

A Lifeline for the Flagship Quadrifoglio Models

The most powerful versions of the Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio almost reached the end of their production run. For a moment, it seemed like the Quadrifoglio badge would quietly slip away as the brand transitions toward electrification.

Thankfully, Alfa Romeo reconsidered and extended the life of its combustion Quadrifoglios a little longer. Even better, the automaker has confirmed that the Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio are getting the extremely limited Collezione editions. These models carry the familiar mechanical recipe but are framed as instant collectibles.

What’s Special About the Collezione Editions?

Under the hood, nothing dramatic changes, which is part of the appeal. The 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 continues with 520 horsepower, paired with an Akrapovič exhaust system that comes standard. It’s the same sharp-edged combustion flagship that built the modern Quadrifoglio reputation – no hybrid assist, no downsizing, and no pivot toward softer tuning.

The exterior treatment is where the Collezione models distinguish themselves. Both debut exclusive tri-coat shades inspired by Rosso Villa d’Este, the color once reserved for the 33 Stradale. The Giulia gets a darker, near-black interpretation, while the Stelvio wears a brighter and more open red tone. Carbon fibre features heavily across the badges, mirror caps, dashboard, central tunnel, and roof, while carbon-ceramic brakes complete the hardware list.

Inside, Alfa Romeo goes for a numbered-edition atmosphere. Each cabin receives leather-upholstered dashboards with red stitching, Sparco seats with carbon-fibre shells, Alcantara inserts, and headrests embroidered with the car’s specific sequence number, such as “1 di 63 Collezione.” These are presented as “Instant Classics” and will be certified as such by Alfa Romeo Classiche.

But They’re Not Coming to North America

According to Alfa Romeo, both vehicles serve as tributes to the Quadrifoglio emblem and its first appearance on a production car in 1963. As such, they will be limited to just 63 units worldwide across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (MEA), China, and Japan, with only two Giulia units headed to the UK.

Unfortunately, it appears that these limited Quadrifoglios are not headed to North America at all.

That said, the Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio Collezione rank among the rarest modern Alfa Romeo road cars. Pricing will depend on market allocations and taxes, but given the numbers involved, these won’t be positioned as entry points for new buyers. They exist for collectors, longtime Alfa Romeo and Quadrifoglio fans, and drivers who want one more chance to own the Italian marque’s most potent combustion models before the landscape changes.
