Novitec has 
						announced a comprehensive package of mild performance 
						upgrades right across the Alfa Romeo Giulietta's petrol 
						and diesel engine ranges combined with new 
						style-enhancing accessories, stainless exhaust rear 
						boxes, key suspensions changes and new 18-, 19-, 20-inch 
						alloy wheels.Under the 
						bonnet of the C-segment hatchback Novitec is offering 
						custom-tailored versions of its self-styled "Powerjet 2" 
						tuning modules for both the turbocharged petrol and 
						diesel engines models. Its plug-in application for the 
						auxiliary control module on the 1.4 TB 16V version 
						produces a claimed 141 hp (104 kW) of power, 21 hp up 
						from standard 120 hp (88 kW). Power output of the 
						Novitec-tuned MultiAir engine with identical 
						displacement meanwhile jumps from the standard 170 hp 
						(125 kW) to a more powerful, claimed, 195 hp (141 kW).
						
						Novitec's engine tuning extends 
						to the 1.8-litre turbocharged engine and here the 
						Powerjet 2 module claims to bump power output of the 
						four-valve, four-cylinder engine up by 26 hp (19 kW) and 
						boost peak torque to 386 Nm (from the standard car's 340 
						Nm). Novitec thus claims that adds up to a new power 
						output of 261 hp (192 kW) and a 0 to 100 km/h time of 
						6.5 seconds (the production model does this in 6.8 
						seconds) on the way to a claimed new top speed of 251 
						km/h (production model top speed is 242 km/h). The 
						Novitec tuning programme for the 1.8 TB engine costs 419 
						euros excluding taxes. 
						Engine tuning is also available 
						for the three turbodiesel engines in the Giulietta 
						range. The German tuner's "Powerrail 5" module, which is 
						also installed by means of a plug connector, lends the 
						1.6 JTD 16V model a claimed extra 15 hp (11 kW) of 
						power. For the 2.0 JTD 16V model with a standard power 
						output of 140 hp (103 kW) the auxiliary control unit 
						claims to add an extra 20 hp (14.7 kW). Extra power 
						output is available for the 170 hp diesel model with 
						custom-calibrated auxiliary control unit improving 
						rating to a claimed 195 hp (143 kW) while peak torque 
						grows by 50 Nm to 400 Nm. All the Powerrail 5 modules 
						cost 335 euros excluding taxes. Novitec is also offering 
						a number of stainless steel exhaust back boxes in 
						various designs of two or four exit configurations which 
						aim to create a sportier exhaust note. 
						Novitec is offering new wheel/tyre 
						combinations for the Giulietta in 18-, 19-, and 20-inch 
						formats. The biggest, dubbed the Novitec N10 and 
						available in either a silver or matte-black finish, come 
						in size 8.5Jx20 and are shod with 235/50 R 20 Pirelli P 
						Zero tyres. Sports springs lower the car by 35 mm while 
						the stainless-steel coil-over suspension comes with 
						adjustable ride height and damper rates. It lends the 
						Alfa Romeo a firmer setup than standard and provides 
						infinitely variable ride-height lowering between 35 and 
						75 millimeters.
						A new body kit claims to offer 
						aerodynamic enhancements. New front lip spoiler sections 
						fit on either side of the car and cost 167 euros while 
						the centrally-mounted spoiler section is 83 euros. This 
						combination, Novitec claims, reduces lift on the front 
						axle. New side skirts (234 euros) and a new rear fascia 
						(167 euros) come in several different versions with 
						specific cutouts for the various exhaust exit options.
						Novitec components come with 
						general operating certificates, thus saving customers, 
						particularly on the German market, with possibly costly 
						and time-intensive individual technical inspections. 
						They also eliminate the need to register the body 
						components in the vehicle registration documents.
