Giulia (Type 952) 2015 - Current

On April 13th 2023, Alfa Romeo announced the Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio 100th Anniversario limited editions, to celebrate 100 years of the Quadrifoglio badge with just 100 exclusive units per model.     Ordering opened on May 16th and I placed an order with Research Garage of Nuneaton, but this was for my name to be entered into a lottery to secure an order.    With just 10 Giulia's coming to the UK I was then fortuante enough on May 30th to be informed that I had indeed secured a car.    It was a long wait but finally on 23rd November I was able to pick the car up.

The 100 Anniversario was effectively a launch edition for the MY2024 Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio.   As such they benefit from the following changes over earlier cars which then went on to be standard on the regular Quad's:

• The 2.9 Bi-Turbo V6 engine was boosted to 520hp
• A mechanical limited slip differential replaced the previous Torque Vectoring set up
• New Full-LED Adaptive Matrix headlights
• A 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster 

Over and above that the Anniversario cars received the following unique features:

Exterior

• Gold Finish Brake Calipers
• Gold Quadrifoglio 100th Anniversary logo on the front wings

Interior

• Leather & Alcantara Seats with Gold Stitch (these seats are no longer available on the regular QF’s)
• Gold Stitched door panels and Dash with special 100 Gold stitched logo
• Gold Quadrifoglio 100 Anniversary logo display on the LCD dash, as you turn off the car

Plus regular options fitted as standard

• Carbon Mirror Caps
• Carbon V Grille

When ordering the car there was only 2 paint choices – Enta Red or Montreal Green. In addition, you could only order 3 options:

• Exposed Carbon Roof
• Akrapovic Exhaust
• Driver Assistance Pack

As it was a limited run car i decided to go with all 3
