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).

Alfa Romeo Stelvio Veloce Ti

Stelvio Veloce Ti joined the rest of the offer for the first time and found a place between the standard Stelvio models and the Stelvio Quadrifoglio model.

Inside, there are visual changes that include aluminum paddle shifters, sports seats upholstered in a combination of leather and Alcantara, a black headliner and rear carbon fibre trim for the dashboard and centre console. Slightly different are the window frames, which are also tinted, and there are special markings on the body.

The Stelvio Veloce Ti is distinguished by its 21-inch black alloy wheels with a typical Alfa design, which will be available in other equipment packages a later date.

The firm has also added a host of connected services, including an on-board WiFi hotspot, an SOS call function and an updated navigation system which provides real-time traffic information and speed camera alerts. There’s also a new, dedicated smartphone app, which can remotely lock and unlock the Stelvio’s doors, set speed limiters and flash the car’s headlamps. The system also works in conjunction with Amazon Alexa and Google Home assistants.

The Stelvio Veloce Ti is turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, which develops 276 hp and 400Nm of torque. The engine is paired with an eight-speed torque-converter automatic gearbox. The engine has a carbon drive shaft, and its power is transmitted to all four wheels via the Alfa Q4 AWD system.

Alfa Romeo will announce more improvements for Stelvio and Giulia in January 2021, and there are not many details yet. The SUV and sedan will receive engines that complies with Euro 6d regulations, as well as a complete package of Alfa Connect Services services standard or optional across the range.

As a reminder, the Stelvio QV is powered by a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 engine that delivers 505 hp and can now be upgraded with several Mopar components.
