Drawing on a very rich history

It is a badge born over 100 years ago that still stands for something original today: a passion for motoring
unlike any other. The DNA of one of the world’s most highly regarded brands runs deeper than the enamel of
its badge. With each racetrack win, and each milestone along the way, its reverence has only grown. In
1962, the legendary Alfa Romeo Giulia sedan dared to bring track-worthy technology to the street. By
combining an ultra-powerful engine with a lightweight body, it forever revolutionized the sports sedan.

Alfa Romeo has always taken a unique and innovative approach to designing automobiles; it is the point
of convergence between design and passion, between a love for the most cutting-edge technology and
a strong instinct to inspire emotions. With Giulia, Alfa Romeo writes another chapter in its history
where, once again, the driver is at the center of the design.

The fastest lap ever by a four-door production
sedan at the Nürburgring, one of the m ost
demanding tracks in the world

It is a 12.9-mile-long serpent that has broken the hearts of even the most courageous racers. With a 1,000-foot elevation change
from its lowest to highest point, the deceptively picturesque Nürburgring in Germany’s Eifel Mountains has long served as
the ultimate test for the spirit of man and machine alike. A track record here takes more than an extended right leg — it takes
everything an engineer, designer and dreamer can incorporate into the art of motoring itself. With its best-in-class 505horsepower1*
engine and advanced performance features, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio arrived with serious intentions. The end result?
A jaw-dropping 7:32lap that places Quadrifoglio in a league with the world’s most exotic sports cars. What’s more, the same
advanced chassis design and rigidity that led to its record-breaking performance weren’t something merely destined for the
intimidating expanses of the Nürburgring: they are something that can be found in every Giulia across the board.

Untouchable

Giulia Quadrifoglio features the most-powerful production engine ever created by Alfa Romeo: an ultralight all-aluminum 2.9Ltwin­turbocharged V6 engine that delivers 505horsepower and 443lb.-ft. of torque between 2,500 and 5,500rpm. It launches Quadrifoglio from
0 to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds and up to a top speed of 191mph.

Beneath the hood of Giulia and Giulia Ti models, the Alfa Romeo turbocharged 4-cyl inder eng ine is th e top of its class . This al l-aluminu m

2.0 -liter powerplant features a twin scroll turbocharger that delivers exceptional responsiveness.

All models feature Alfa Romeo’s next-generation 8-speed automatic transmission, available with steering column-mounted aluminum paddle
shifters. Co-developed with ZF, a global leader in driveline and chassis technology, it shifts in less than 100 milliseconds— faster and more
precisely than a professionaldriver.

At its core is passion

The latest evolution of Giulia began with an all-new architecture that is characterized by a longitudinal engine framework.
The design emphasizes precise placement of lightweight materials to help achieve near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution
across the front and rear axles. The Giulia’s side profile proportions highlight its optimized balance and seductive Italian
design with short overhangs, along with long hood and front fender proportions. Designers gave Giulia an organic design for
timeless character.

A carbon fiber hood is a visual and technical cue to

the ultra-high performance one can expect from

Quadrifoglio, while the Giulia and Giulia Ti benefit

from a weight-saving all-aluminum hood.

The innovative aluminum 280 hp, 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder and the 505hp,

all-aluminum 2.9L twin-turbocharged V6 engines are excellent examples of how

engineers created the lightweight Giulia by strategically placing ultralight materials

within Giulia’s architecture. Brakes, doors, fenders and suspension components, including

front shock towers, plus front and rear door frames, are all made of aluminum.

A carbon fiber roof on Quadrifoglio further
improves Giulia’s best-in-class
while an aluminum roof on Giulia and Ti models
contributes to its awe-inspiring driving dynamics.

A competitor in every sense

Giulia Ti Sport stirs up the adrenaline with athletic talents that reward drivers at every turn. Its flat-out performance exceeds t he high
expectations its fierce cladding suggests: sport front and rear fascias, standard 19-inch 5-hole aluminum wheels and run-flat all-season
performance tires help deliver on a visual promise. Playing to the crowd, Giulia’s dual-chrome exhaust is showcased within its aggressive sport
fascia. Its flat-bottomed steering wheel with mounted audio controls and Black push-button start brings out the extraordinary direct-steering
feel of the chassis.
