In 1923 legendary Alfa Romeo factory driver, Ugo Sivocci, created a good-luck symbol by hand-painting a clover over a white square on his Targo Florio race car. It worked like a charm, Sivocci finally won a race. Weeks later, Ugo drove a vehicle that was missing his charm leaf. He crashed and lost his life. From that point on, every Alfa Romeo car would bear the four-leaf clover on a white triangle, instead of a square. The missing corner symbolizes the loss of Ugo Sivocci.
Alfa Romeo has always taken a unique and innovative approach to designing its automobiles, combining technology and a strong instinct to inspire emotion. In this last chapter of the history of Alfa Romeo, the driver is at the center of design.
A hundred years of innovation in the automotive industry is an example of the two types of engines offered by Stelvio. Both engines are built in Italy with state-of-the-art processes and methods, using the best design that puts them at the top of their class in terms of performance.
The Stelvio Quadrifoglio has the most powerful production engine ever created Alfa Romeo: innovative, aluminum 2.9L Twin-Turbo V6 an engine that delivers an exceptional 505 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque. Quadrifoglio goes from 0 to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds and reaches the top speed of 176 mph.
The second one is all-aluminum 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine delivering 280 horsepower and 306 lb-ft of torque. Its innovative control valve lift system manages combustion quality for improved performance, while standard drive shaft drive is displayed Alfa Romeo is committed to performance and innovation by providing emphasis stiffness and resistance.
The available Q4 All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system offers the performance and driving pleasure of Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD). Under normal conditions, the Q4 AWD system (available with the 2.0L engine) sends 100% of the engine torque to the rear axle. When necessary, the system can automatically transfer up to 60% of the torque to the front axle, thanks to the Active Transfer Case (ATC). It continuously monitors road conditions to deliver ideal torque distribution, maximizing grip and performance.
