Ten copies – already completely sold out
The high-performance sedan is produced in a small series of only ten vehicles, all of which have already found their owners.
Each car is meticulously handcrafted by the team at Bottegafuoriserie – a joint project between Alfa Romeo and Maserati, launched a few weeks ago.
Motorsport aerodynamics and sailing art
The technical centerpiece is a completely redesigned aerodynamic package. Carbon fiber components provide significantly increased downforce without affecting top speed.
At 300 km/h, the aerodynamic elements press the vehicle onto the road with approximately 140 kilograms – five times that of the standard model. A particularly striking feature: the two-part rear wing is based on the wings of the racing yacht Luna Rossa.
While these lift the hull out of the water on a sailing yacht, the profiles on the vehicle are rotated 180 degrees, thus generating maximum downforce.
Lateral guide profiles at the front, additional elements on the underbody and carbon fiber side skirts utilize the ground effect as known from racing.
Authentic details from sailing
The design is based on that of the racing yacht of the same name, which competed in the America's Cup in Barcelona in 2024.
The hand-applied paintwork imitates a steely metallic effect in elegant gray, partially combined with a black hood, roof, and trunk lid. Red accents on the side stripes and 19-inch wheels provide contrast. For the first time, the Alfa Romeo logo features a red background.
Inside, you'll find authentic materials from the racing yacht: The Sparco sports seats are reminiscent of the crew's life jackets, while the dashboard incorporates a wafer-thin film made from the Luna Rossa's sail material – provided directly by the team.
Carbon fiber elements and Luna Rossa logos complete the exclusive ambiance.
Proven power from the engine compartment
The Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa is powered by the familiar 2,9-liter twin-turbo V6 engine producing 520 hp. A mechanical limited-slip differential on the rear axle optimizes power transmission and enhances cornering dynamics.
The special edition model is based on the standard Giulia Quadrifoglio, built at the Cassino plant near Rome. All specific components are sourced from Italian suppliers specializing in the highest quality.
Bottegafuoriserie, the joint project of Alfa Romeo and Maserati, is dedicated to exclusive small series, individualization programs, vehicle restorations and motorsport activities.
Together towards the America's Cup 2027
Meanwhile, the partnership between Alfa Romeo and Luna Rossa is in full swing: in 2027 the 38th America's Cup will be held in Italy for the first time – the regattas will take place off Naples in the Mediterranean Sea.
Back in May 2024, crew members of Luna Rossa took part in the Mille Miglia at the invitation of Alfa Romeo and completed the route from Brescia to Rome in a historic Alfa Romeo 1900 Super Sprint from 1956.
