Special luxury cars have arrived

There are new limited edition Alfas on offer. 

Alfa Romeo will offer an Intensa Special Series across its range with only 50 examples. 

Alfa’s limited edition models include 10 of its Tonale and Stelvio SUVs and 30 of its Giulia sedans.

The cheaper Tonale starts from $69,990, with the Giulia $84,990 and the Stelvio $94,490. 

This range represents a substantial price increase over the standard variants, but are loaded with all the premium gadgets and an added standard feature of a sunroof. 

The front-wheel drive Tonale uses a four-cylinder 1.5-litre mild hybrid petrol engine that produces 117kW and 240Nm, achieving 0-100km/h in 8.8 seconds. 

The Stelvio and Giulia get a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, which produces 206kW and 400Nm that delivers a 0-100km/h time of 5.7 seconds. These models come with Synaptic Dynamic Control suspension to aid sporty driving with the Stelvio all-wheel drive and the Giulia rear-wheel drive. 

To distinguish these variants, the cars come with golden detailing and Italian flag emblems on the side mirrors.

The Intensa variant features diamond-cut alloy wheels that are 19-inch on the Giulia and 20-inch on the Tonale and Stelvio with black brake callipers across the range. 

Alfa branding continues inside the cabin with Alfa Romeo logos embroidered on the front headrests and a two-tone steering wheel, while there is Intensa branding elsewhere.

The Tonale gets new Alcantara seats and for the first time a rotary gear selector.
