ALFAROMEOUSA.COM Page 1 Page 60 Etched into the mountainous Northern Italian border stands a rite of passage for those entering Italy by road. Forty-eight hairpin turns at 9,000 ft above sea level present a challenge only the bravest driver, equipped with the finest machine, would dare to conquer in order to reach the epicenter of automotive performance, design and style. Inspired by the immensity and grandeur of the Stelvio Pass, the dreamers of Milan, the engineers of Modena and the artisans of Cassino have created the optimal vehicle for those demanding the highest level of performance and utility in equal measure. This is Stelvio. An SUV only Alfa Romeo could create. 2 INTRODUCTION 3 Page 2 From past to fast It began as a simple request for good luck and ended up becoming a symbol of something even greater: track records and race victories from Alfa Romeo and the drivers who championed them. In 1923, legendary Alfa Romeo race car driver Ugo Sivocci wanted to break a string of second-place finishes. To prepare for the legendary Targa Florio race through the mountains of Sicily, Sivocci painted a white square with a “Quadrifoglio,” or four-leaf clover, on the front of his Alfa Romeo RL Targa Florio. As luck would have it, he finished in first place. Weeks later, Sivocci was track-testing a new car that did not yet bear his lucky symbol. Tragically, he crashed and lost his life. This marked the beginning of a tradition: all future Alfa Romeo race cars would bear the four-leaf clover on a white triangle instead of a square — with the missing corner symbolizing the loss of Sivocci. Today, Sivocci’s clover remains a symbol of race-worthy capabilities and, of course, a symbol of good luck. 4 HERITAGE 5 Page 4 The force of a legend Since 1923, Alfa Romeo has bestowed the Quadrifoglio symbol on its most powerful race and street vehicles. Placed front and center on its highly innovative 2.9L Twin-Turbocharged V6 engine, it marks the tradition that now lives on in the all-new Stelvio. 6 HERITAGE Stelvio Quadrifoglio shown in Rosso Competizione Tri-coat. 7 Page 6 Power in its most beautiful form It makes a breathtaking first impression, and every part of it lives up to that very powerful visual promise. Alfa Romeo’s first foray into the SUV segment, the Stelvio design stays true to the Alfa Romeo tradition of mixing heritage, speed and beauty. Special attention was paid to muscular proportion and fluid lines: there is true strength in its simplicity and craftsmanship. The Stelvio profile forecasts its dynamism with a sleek outline that develops from its signature Scudetto grille to a steeply raked, aerodynamic rear hatch. Artful surfacing creates the vehicle’s muscular sides that further convey its high-performance capability. Stelvio is a true Italian SUV. 8 STYLING 9 Page 8 2.0L Turbocharged 4-Cylinder Engine 2.9L Twin-Turbocharged V6 Engine 1 seconds1 mph1 seconds mph1 1 505 443 3.9 177 280 306 5.4 144 1 horsepower * lb.-ft. of torque between 0 – 60 mph top speed horsepower lb.-ft. of torque between 0 – 60 mph top speed 1 2,000 and 4,800 rpm 2,500 and 5,500 rpm1 10 PERFORMANCE *A note about this brochure: all disclaimers and disclosures can be found on pages 56 and 57. 11 Page 10 aluminum carbon aluminum carbon aluminum carbon aluminum carbon aluminum carbon aluminum carbon aluminum carbon aluminum carbon 13 6 13 6 13 6 13 6 13 6 13 6 13 6 13 6 Al C Al C Al C Al C Al C Al C Al C Al C 26.982 12.011 26.982 12.011 26.982 12.011 26.982 12.011 26.982 12.011 26.982 12.011 26.982 12.011 26.982 12.011 carbon aluminum carbon aluminum carbon aluminum carbon aluminum carbon aluminum carbon aluminum carbon aluminum carbon aluminum carbon 6 13 6 13 6 13 6 13 6 13 6 13 6 13 6 13 6 C Al C Al C Al C Al C Al C Al C Al C Al C 12.011 26.982 12.011 26.982 12.011 26.982 12.011 26.982 12.011 26.982 12.011 26.982 12.011 26.982 12.011 26.982 12.011 aluminum carbon aluminum carbon aluminum carbon FOR THOSEaluminum WHO HAVEcarbon GAINEDaluminum A HIGHcarbon LEVEL OFaluminum RESPECTcarbon AND ADMIRATION,aluminum REINVENTIONcarbon aluminum IS THE carbon aluminum 13 6 13 6 13 6 13 6 13 6 13 6 13 6 13 6 13 KEY TO LONGEVITY.
