Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa: the most extreme Quadrifoglio ever

At the Brussels Motor Show 2026, Alfa Romeo pulls out all the stops with the world premiere of the Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa. An ultra-exclusive limited series of just ten examples worldwide, bringing together Italian passion, top-level aerodynamic engineering and pure performance in what is, without exaggeration, the most extreme Quadrifoglio ever.

This special version is also the first tangible result of the collaboration between Alfa Romeo and the legendary sailing team Luna Rossa. Not superficial co-branding, but a deep technical and aesthetic cross-pollination between motorsport and high-performance sailing.

Bottega Fuoriserie: bespoke craftsmanship taken to perfection

The Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa was developed within the Bottega Fuoriserie programme, the creative epicentre where Alfa Romeo experiments with bespoke customisation, innovative materials and extreme performance. Each car is built in Cassino and then finished by hand, in collaboration with specialist Italian partners.

The result is not a car, but a manifesto on wheels of Italian excellence, technologically refined, emotionally charged and unmistakably rare. It is no coincidence that all ten examples had already been sold before the public unveiling.

Aerodynamics at record level: five times more downforce

What truly makes the Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa unique is its unrivalled aerodynamic efficiency. Thanks to an entirely new carbon fibre aero package, this version generates up to five times more downforce than the standard Giulia Quadrifoglio, without sacrificing top speed.

• 140 kg of downforce at 300 km/h

• Optimised airflow with minimal drag

• Aerodynamic balance of 40% on the front axle

The package includes:

• Carbon front appendages on the bumper

• Underbody profiles that enhance ground effect

• Dedicated carbon side skirts

• A spectacular double rear wing, inspired by the foils of the Luna Rossa AC75

That rear wing is a technical tour de force: Alfa Romeo literally inverted the hydrodynamic foil principle. Not to “fly”, but to press the Giulia onto the tarmac with brutal efficiency.

520 hp V6: mechanical purity remains sacred

Under the bonnet, Alfa Romeo remains faithful to its iconic formula: the 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 with 520 hp, paired with a mechanical limited-slip differential. No electrification, no compromises, just pure, direct drive.

The result is a sports saloon that:

• turns in razor-sharp

• remains extremely stable at high speeds

• and devours corners with a precision that perfectly matches the aerodynamic upgrades

This is the Giulia Quadrifoglio in its most focused, most radical form.

Luna Rossa design: the sailing world translated to road and track

Visually, the Luna Rossa edition is a work of art in itself. The bodywork is hand-sprayed in an iridescent paint, inspired by the metallic hues of the Luna Rossa AC75's hull. On top of that comes a two-layer livery with red accents and the iconic “Luna Rossa” lettering.

Standout details:

• Alfa Romeo logos on a red background for the first time ever

• 19-inch wheels in a matching red shade

• Carbon roof, mirrors and shield

• Some examples with an additional two-tone contrast finish

Inside, the story continues:

• Sparco bucket seats upholstered with a design inspired by the sailing team's PFDs (life jackets)

• Dashboard featuring a genuine, ultra-thin layer of an original Luna Rossa sail

• Carbon interior trim and exclusive Luna Rossa logos

• Each example fitted with unique identification details

An interior with as much emotional value as technical finesse.

More than a car: a symbol of Italian elite sport

The Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa symbolises a broader ambition. Alfa Romeo is the official partner of Luna Rossa heading into the 38th America's Cup, which will take place in Italy for the first time in history, in the Bay of Naples. The collaboration centres on knowledge sharing, materials research and performance innovation, exactly what you see reflected in this car.
