Alfa Romeo Giulia, Stelvio Quadrifoglio NRING editions pricing and specs confirmed

The limited-run NRING editions boast a unique Circuito Grey matte paint job, and exposed carbon-fibre touches.

Alfa Romeo Australia has announced pricing for its limited edition Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio NRING special editions.

The highly limited Alfas will touch down in September from $182,900 plus on-road costs for the Giulia, and $189,900 for the Stelvio variant.

Customers of the highly specified grade will have to pay a significant premium, with both NRING editions costing at least $35,000 more than the standard Quadrifoglios upon which they are based.

Just four Giulia, and three Stelvio NRING units have been allocated for Australia.

The NRING limited editions gain a number of aesthetic carbon fibre parts inside and out. The NRING limited editions gain a number of aesthetic carbon fibre parts inside and out.

As the name suggests, the NRING limited editions are designed to pay homage to the famous Nurburgring circuit in Germany, and benefit from a number of unique features inside and out.

Both models are painted in Curcuito Grey matte, and sport carbon-fibre grille inserts and exterior mirrors, as well as an exposed carbon fibre roof, and carbon ceramic brakes with red painted calipers.

The Giulia four-door sedan wears 19-inch Dark Miron alloy wheels and NRING-specific badging, while the Stelvio medium SUV rides on 20-inch alloys and features a panoramic sunroof.

Inside, both vehicles feature leather and Alcantara upholstery with red accents, Sparco carbon fibre front seats, a sports steering wheel, and various carbon fibre trim pieces.

“The NRING limited dition models take the Quadrifoglio lineup to the next level,” said Alfa Romeo director of brand and product strategy Guillaume Drelon.

“The Quadrifoglio range was specifically designed to be the fastest production SUV and five-passenger sedan to take on the Nürburgring and both achieved that goal. 

"The NRING Limited Editions celebrates that triumph and those who strive to set the pace, in an absolutely unique and exclusive manner.”

Carrying over from the standard model, the Giulia Quadrifoglio NRING is powered by a 2.9-litre bi-turbo petrol V6 delivering 375kW/600Nm, and sending power through to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The Stelvio Quadrifoglio NRING uses the same motor and transmission, but instead uses an all-wheel-drive system. 

In production form, the Giulia Quadrifoglio sedan set a time of seven minutes and 32 seconds at the Nurburgring Nordschleife circuit, while the Stelvio Quadrifoglio SUV managed to run the Green Hell in seven minutes and 51 seconds.
