The automotive world is witnessing the end of an era as Alfa Romeo announces the discontinuance of its high-performance Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio models in North America after 2024. These vehicles, noted for their 505-horsepower bi-turbo V-6 engines, will be ending their final chapter in the arena of combustion engines as Alfa Romeo sails towards an electrified future.
Larry Dominique, Senior Vice President and Head of Alfa Romeo and Fiat North America, announced this news with nostalgia and anticipation for the future. In a post on LinkedIn, he said, “Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio Performance Models is temporarily bidding farewell to North America. It’s time to contact your local Alfa Romeo dealer! 2024 is the last chance to order Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio, equipped with a 505 horsepower twin turbocharged V-6 engine! This is our last chance to continue transitioning towards an electrified future, but it’s not the end of the story. I look forward to showcasing the next chapter of the Clover Journey
This news has stirred up complex emotions among car enthusiasts and loyal supporters of Alfa Romeo. The Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio models demonstrate Alfa Romeo’s engineering prowess and are symbols of Italian performance. The “four leaf clover” logo on these cars is not just a sign of quality; This is a legendary symbol representing a century of racing success and high performance.
As these beloved models come to an end, Alfa Romeo assures us that the Quadrifoglio badge will return, albeit with some changes. Future iterations are expected to include electricity, whether in hybrid or battery electric form. This transformation is consistent with the automotive industry’s broader shift towards sustainable development and environmental responsibility.
Although the Quadrifoglio model will continue its tradition in other markets, the North American chapter is coming to an end. The final order for the current model will be accepted until the end of April 2024, and production at the Cassino factory will end in June of the same year. This provides a narrow window for enthusiasts to have a car history before Alfa Romeo begins its journey towards electrification.
The shift to electrification is not only about following industry trends or rules; This is about rethinking current performance. Alfa Romeo’s dedication to electrification was underscored in the launching of the company’s last internal combustion supercar, the 33 Stradale, which can also be used as a 100% electric vehicle.
As we bid farewell to the Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio models, we cannot help but recollect their impact on the automotive industry. From the sound of twin turbocharged V-6 to the pure driving enjoyment they bring, these automobiles have left an everlasting impact in the hearts of many people. As Alfa Romeo prepares to unveil its first mainstream electric vehicle, the all-new Milan, we are reminded that the inventive spirit and performance that distinguish the Quadrifoglio model will continue to flourish in the future of electricity.
Meanwhile, fans of Alfa Romeo can look forward to the upcoming Milan premiere in April 2024. This new competitor in the small SUV segment promises to inherit the brand’s dynamic driving power and Italian style tradition, while enjoying the benefits of electricity.
The end of Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio models in North America is not just a farewell; This indicates that exciting things are about to come. With the continuous development of Alfa Romeo, its commitment to providing exciting performance in a more sustainable way is also constantly evolving. Quadrifoglio may be bowing, but its journey is far from over.
