Alfa Romeo are preparing to take the Geneva Motor Show by storm, with new versions of the Giulietta ad MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde (known as Cloverleaf in the UK).
The new Alfa Romeo Giulietta
The updated Giulietta QV model gets the 237 brake horse power 1.75 litre aluminium turbocharged petrol engine from the Alfa Romeo 4C coupe, as well as it’s TCT six speed duel clutch gearbox. With the engine producing 340Nm of torque, the model can now go from a standstill to 62mph in 6.6 seconds before topping out at a top speed of 149mph.
It’s marked out from the normal Giulietts by large exhaust pipes, a rear splitter and new 17 or 18 inch alloy wheels. Exhaust noise has been improve thanks to a new intake system and the interior has been fitted with accessories to differentiate the QV from the standard car. Alongside all the new features from the top-spec 2014 Giulietta, the model gains a new steering wheel and dials, QV logos and leather and Alcantara sports seats.
For the 500 ‘Launch Edition’ models that are planned, there will be a new matt Magnesio Grey paint option available. Other paint colours include Alfa Red and Competizione Red. With these perfect attributes in mind we do strongly believe that this all new Alfa Romeo model from the brand will have all of the potential in the world to take on big contending rivals such as the likes of, BMW,Audi and Mercedes.
The new Alfa Romeo MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde
The new Cloverleaf model gains a 168 brake horse power 1.4 litre MultiAir turbo petrol capable of going from a standstill to 62mph in 7.3 seconds before reaching a top speed of 136mph.

The model gets a new rear spoiler and 17 inch alloy wheels with red brake calipers, as well as the option of Magnesio Grey paint. Leather upholstery, QV logos and a ‘carbon look’ dashboard are also featured.
