Centennial Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio

Centennial Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio

Quadrifoglio The name is 100 years old, so Alfa Romeo decided to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Giulia and Stelvio. But unless you already have a great relationship with your Alfa Romeo dealer, you probably won’t be able to get one. This is because Alfa plans to only build 100 examples of each for the entire world.

In case you missed it:

The Italian automaker hasn’t said how many Quadrifoglio 100th Anniversary Editions it will be sending to the US, but even if we get 100, that’s still a very limited run. Alfa hasn’t released prices either, but given how rare they are, we wouldn’t be surprised to hear that dealers add prices substantially on top of the MSRP once it’s finally released.

However, it doesn’t look like you’re going to lose much if you buy a regular Quadrifoglio. The press release says they get a small horsepower increase to 520, but we bet that’s a European horsepower rating. In America, that’s a lot like 513 hp. More is always better, of course, but 8 HP isn’t exactly what you’ll feel. You get mechanical differential tuning from the Giulia GTA, which Alfa says helps improve handling.

You also get the updated styling from the update that includes new headlights, which is nice, as well as gold brake calipers. There’s some exposed carbon fiber on the grille and side-view mirrors, too. And inside, the number 100 is stitched in gold on the passenger side of the dashboard to make sure people know you’ve got a special Quadrifoglio.

Special editions often feature a special paint color, but that’s not the case here. Your choices are Rosso Etna, Verde Montreal, and Nero Vulcano, all available on the regular Quadrifoglios. If it were our car, we’d probably go with the Verde Montreal because, man, it looks really cool in press photos. Not that you’ll see anyone in Jalopnik buying what might be at least a $90,000 car anytime soon.
