Alfa Romeo Sends Off Giulia and Stelvio with Carbon Fiber Flair

Alfa Romeo is offering a limited-edition series of its Giulia and Stelvio models for the Australian market. Dubbed the Edizione Carbonio, these special editions are based on the Veloce trim and add carbon fiber accents and additional standard features.

The exterior of the Edizione Carbonio models is distinguished by carbon fiber mirror caps, a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, and illuminated door sills (Giulia). The Stelvio, on the other hand, features unique Alfa Romeo puddle lights. Both models share Matrix LED headlights, red Brembo calipers, black badging, and monochrome Alfa Romeo emblems.

Inside, the cabin features a red engine start button inspired by the Quadrifoglio models and a matching key cover. Standard equipment includes a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, an 8.8-inch infotainment system, a 14-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, and a suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

Performance remains unchanged from the standard Veloce trims. The 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine produces 276 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Stelvio features Q4 all-wheel drive, while the Giulia is rear-wheel drive. Both models benefit from a limited-slip differential.

Only 50 units of the Edizione Carbonio models will be produced, with 33 allocated to the Giulia and 17 to the Stelvio. Pricing starts at AU$ 79,150 for the Giulia and AU$ 87,150 for the Stelvio, before on-road costs.

While Alfa Romeo is not a major player in the Australian market, with 716 registrations in 2023, the limited availability of the Edizione Carbonio models is expected to attract enthusiasts and collectors.
