Alfa Romeo Tonale Quadrifoglio as EV

Following the recently unveiled Alfa Romeo Tonale, the Italian carmaker is currently developing the Tonale Quadrifoglio. This information was confirmed by Alfa Romeo CEO Jean-Philippe Imparato.

Although there is no information on car design, that didn’t stop X-Tomi Design from guessing what it might look like. According to their estimate, the car will have a redesigned front bumper, lower suspension, wider fenders, additional vents, widened sills, carbon roof, a larger rear spoiler, a new set of rims and larger brakes.

Alfa Romeo’s global product manager Daniel Tiago Guzzafame also said that there is a possibility of producing an electric version of Tonale, but before deciding on production, it is necessary to check whether there is a demand for this type of vehicle. This is to be expected as Alfa Romeo’s plan is to become a fully electric brand by 2027.

Tonale Quadrifoglio would become a rival to the Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 4Matic and the Audi RS Q3 Sportback. Currently the most powerful Tonale is a plug-in hybrid with 272 hp (200 kW), so the Quadrifoglio can be expected to offer between 350 and 400 hp. The fully electric Tonale Quadrifoglio is not excluded either.

Alfa Romeo Stelvio GT Junior

Since Tonale is coming in 2022, Alfa Romeo has remained on two models, and the only way to increase the offer is to present a special model, Stelvio GT Junior.

After the Giulia GTA / GTAm and the newer version of the 6C Villa d’Este available for the sedan and Stelvio, the focus is again on the limited SUV model. The inspiration was the GT 1300 Junior model, at least in a spiritual sense.

The Stelvio GT Junior pays tribute to the Alfa coupe (1965-1977). The high-performance SUV is based on the sporty Veloce package. It is powered by a 2.2-liter engine with 210 hp (155 kW) and 347 lb-ft (470 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The GT Junior is painted in Ocher, which connects it to the GT 1300 Junior. The color was previously used for the unique Giulia Quadrifoglio introduced a few years ago. It rides on 21-inch light alloy wheels. Also, the headrests feature the GT Junior logos, while the dashboard features the silhouette of a classic sports car.

Standard equipment includes electric tailgate, front parking sensors, aluminum blades behind the steering wheel and LED fog lights. The interior has not undergone major changes.

The Alfa Romeo Stelvio GT Junior is 6,550 euros more expensive than the Veloce model, and you can buy it in Italy for 72,750 euros.

The following year, a compact crossover with plug-in hybrid drive arrives from Alfa’s workshop, positioned below the Stelvio model. By 2025, a subcompact Brennero crossover is also expected, possibly as an electric model.

All 500 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA and GTAm were sold

Four months ago, Alfa Romeo introduced a limited edition Giulia GTA and GTAm. Now the company has announced that all 500 units have already got their owners.

Although it was planned that all 500 units would be offered to customers in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, 18 units found their owners in Australia and 88 in Japan. This time, the Americans were left out.

Back in 1965, the first Giulia Sprint GTA appeared. The new models are proof that Alfa Romeo remains true to tradition. This was confirmed by Jean-Philippe Imparato, CEO of Alfa Romeo, saying:

“We will continue to pursue the Giulia project because it is the result of fantastic engineering and investment work and has the state of the art in the GTA. The Giulia is alive and stays alive!”

The new GTA and GTAm are powered by a 2.9-liter V6 Bi-Turbo engine with 540 hp (397 kW). That’s 30 hp (22 kW) more than the Giulia Quadrifoglio, which has 510 hp. It reaches 62 mph in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 196 mph (315 km / h). The engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission that transmits power to the rear wheels.

When it comes to price, the Giulia GTA sold for € 176,500 ($ 204,600) while the GTAm model is slightly more expensive and costs € 181,500 ($ 210,400).
