THE MOST IMPORTANT COMPONENT IS EMOTION It began as a simple request for good luck and ended up becoming a symbol for something even more magical: track records and race victories from Alfa Romeo. In 1923, legendary Alfa Romeo race car driver Ugo Sivocci painted a “Quadrifoglio,” or four-leaf clover, on the front of his Alfa Romeo RL at Targa Florio — and then finished in first place. This marked the beginning of a tradition: all future Alfa Romeo race cars, and even some high-performance street cars, would bear the four-leaf clover. Now, with the all-new Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio, Sivocci’s clover remains a symbol of race-worthy capabilities and, of course, a symbol of good luck. 2 HISTORY Centro Documentazione Alfa Romeo (Arese, Milano) 3 Page 2 Page 3 It is a badge born over 105 years ago that still stands for something original today: a passion for motoring unlike any other. The latest Giulia is a true original, yet it reflects its Alfa Romeo heritage with optimized aerodynamics and the signature “Trilobe” shield grille. For this new generation of Giulia, two senior Ferrari design leads were given a clean, white sheet of paper and direct access to the finest technology, resources and talent. It was a rare opportunity to create a vehicle made entirely from their “wish list” priorities. The result is a vehicle that exudes a rare level of performance and passion that is instantly apparent to any eye. It is the point of convergence between design and passion, between a love for the most cutting-edge technology and a strong instinct to inspire emotions. The all-new Alfa Romeo Giulia.
