One hundred units of the
Alfa Romeo Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde, kitted out from
the options list and featuring some unique visual
details, are being supplied on an exclusive basis for
the Maserati network and will soon be seen on the roads
throughout Europe. It follows on from a similar
arrangement that has seen Ferrari using special edition
Abarth 500s as courtesy cars amongst its European
dealers.
The cars are equipped
with the 235 HP 1750 Turbo Petrol engine that is
dedicated to the Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde model that
historically represents the brand's top performance
vehicles, a concentrate of technology that ensures a
perfect combination of sportiness and eco-friendliness.
Credit for that goes to its direct injection, dual
continuous variable valve timing, turbocharger and
scavenging system to eliminate turbolag. This is an
engine which achieves record values in its category - in
terms of both power and specific torque - but with low
fuel consumption in daily use.
The outfitting that
Maserati has selected for the Giuliettas to give to its
customers includes a few unique touches: heated seats
upholstered in full grain Venere leather in the new
shade "Maserati Brown" with electric adjustment, an
exclusive "Alfa Romeo for Maserati" plate embellishing
the dashboard and the special aluminium kick plate with
the names "Giulietta" and "Maserati" engraved to seal
the union.
The one hundred cars will
feature the usual equipment associated with the
range-topping QV: bi-xenon headlamps with AFS function,
navigation system with pop-up display, Europe maps and
TMC Pro, Blue&Me hands-free system with controls on the
steering wheel, AUX-IN port, USB port and Bluetooth, and
dual zone automatic climate control.
The "Giulietta for
Maserati" is also distinguished by options list details
on the exterior: 18-inch alloy wheels are enhanced by
diamond-tooling, the braking system is oversized, the
brake calipers are red, the dashboard inserts are in
burnished brushed aluminium and the sporty suspension
layout guarantees a best in class dynamic behaviour of
the car without jeopardising comfort on board, the
Giulietta's strong point.
Like on all of the Giuliettas, this QV version as well
offers the standard the dynamic driving selector, Alfa
Romeo DNA, so that the car's personality can adapt to
the driver's needs and the different road conditions,
interacting with all of the car's systems. When Dynamic
is selected the car's behaviour is sportier. The engine
responds quicker, torque delivery is more substantial
owing to the overboost, the Alfa Q2 differential tackles
bends in total safety, and the pre-fill maximizes
promptness during braking. Ultimate comfort together
with low fuel consumption and emissions are guaranteed
in Natural, ideal for "everyday" driving. In All
Weather, the car's traction is improved even in the
harshest weather conditions.
