So long as every little thing is working accurately, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is about nearly as good as a sport sedan can get. It simply does not have a fame for every little thing at all times working proper. Effectively, there’s that, and the half the place it is remained largely unchanged since manufacturing started a decade in the past, and the cabin was by no means notably luxurious, even for the time. However hey, possibly what the Giulia Quadrifoglio wants is one more particular version with a bizarre wing that is impressed by boats. Meet the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa.
Finest as I can inform, the Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa is an aero package with some customized paint and some distinctive touches inside, and that is about it. Alfa says it can solely construct 10 of them to focus on what its not too long ago launched bespoke order service can present clients who need one thing slightly extra particular than what you get in a inventory car. As for the Luna Rossa title, that comes from Alfa’s partnership with the Italian crusing crew with the identical title. Apparently, the crusing connection can be why the wing appears to be like so bizarre:
A number one position is certainly performed by the spectacular rear wing. Its twin profile, supported by two central pylons, attracts inspiration from the foils of the Luna Rossa AC75: hydrodynamic appendages that elevate the boat onto the water. Alfa Romeo has reinterpreted this language, turning the foil part the wrong way up to generate opposing forces: to not fly, however to drive the automobile down onto the tarmac with extraordinary effectivity.
Alfa Romeo has reinterpreted this language, turning the foil part the wrong way up to generate opposing forces: to not fly, however to drive the automobile down onto the asphalt with extraordinary effectivity. Alfa Romeo technicians have studied a profile with variable incidence to channel this high-energy vortex construction, acquiring a excessive aerodynamic load with a diminished floor space, to maximise the specified upwash impact.
See? Boats.Â
The Bottegafuorisere universe
In case you thought (or hoped) that was the place the ridiculous language within the press launch ended, although, you might not be extra mistaken. The automobile itself is “remodeled in an artisan course of that additionally entails a collection of Italian companions specializing in the very best high quality and revolutionary workmanship.” It was additionally “[d]eveloped as a part of the BOTTEGAFUORISERIE universe – the brand new artistic core devoted to customization, aesthetic analysis and efficiency, and an initiative that mixes the excellence of Alfa Romeo and Maserati,” and the aero package is not simply restricted to the boat-inspired wing:
The complete automobile has undergone focused interventions to enhance general aerodynamic efficiency, whereas preserving the wonderful unique stability: extra downforce, sure, however distributed harmoniously, virtually similar to the usual configuration. This consequence stems from obsessive consideration to the refined administration of each single air circulate. Each element has been designed to information the air with precision, decreasing turbulence and exploiting each helpful vortex to generate stability and effectivity.

In the meantime, contained in the cabin:
The interiors proceed the stylistic story of the Luna Rossa crew, together with new Sparco seats with an unique upholstery impressed by the supplies and graphics of the Private Flotation Units utilized by the boat’s crew. The dashboard fascia additionally homes a wafer-thin movie, one of many a number of layers that make up an unique Luna Rossa sail, supplied by the crew to be machined and built-in into the automobile, to convey an genuine fragment of Luna Rossa’s historical past into the passenger compartment. All that is even additional enhanced by the inside trim in carbon fiber, together with the central tunnel and seat shells embellished with the Luna Rosso brand to make the automobile a collector’s merchandise.

What about pricing, although? Availability? Will the special-edition Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa even be accessible within the U.S.? Until you are one of many few who already know that data, it is just about irrelevant. Based on Alfa, all 10 have already been bought, which means both your order’s already been positioned, or it does not matter. Possibly just a few went to U.S. consumers. Possibly it ended up being a European unique. However hey, possibly you may see one subsequent time you are in Italy. That might be form of neat.
