Blown in by the wind, forged by passion: Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa makes its debut as the most extreme Quadrifoglio ever

• At the 2026 Brussels Motor Show, Alfa Romeo presents Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa, the new limited series – of ten units in the world – that combines Italian excellence, extreme performance and absolute exclusivity.
• The exclusive special series is the first fruit of the partnership between Alfa Romeo and Luna Rossa.
• Developed as part of the BOTTEGAFUORISERIE universe, Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa perfectly embodies the brand’s philosophy: to create unique, technologically advanced objects deeply rooted in Italian excellence.
• In terms of aerodynamics, it is the most efficient Quadrifoglio model ever: the new low-drag kit in carbon fiber – consisting of appendages on the front bumper, a pair of profiles on the bottom of the bodywork, dedicated side skirts, and the spectacular rear wing – generates up to five times more downforce than the production version, ensuring exceptional stability at all speeds. At 300 km/h, it reaches a peak of 140 kg downforce with very high aerodynamic efficiency values.
• The exterior is embellished with an iridescent paint reminiscent of the shades of the Luna Rossa hull. The two-tone contrast – bonnet, roof and rear in black “boat deck” paired with gray – enhances its sculpted lines, giving it an unprecedented sporty elegance. For the first time, the legendary Alfa Romeo logos come in red, a symbol of passion and competitive spirit.
• Inside, the Sparco seats stand out, upholstered with textures and graphics inspired by the Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) used by the boat’s crew. The dashboard is embellished with original material from Luna Rossa sails, a detail that conveys the synergy with the racing world on the water.

Alfa Romeo presents the world premiere of the exclusive Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa, the first fruit of the partnership with the Luna Rossa team, the spearhead of international sailing and a symbol of Italian sportiness and technological innovation. The project is not limited to celebrating a sponsorship but represents the meeting point between two icons of Italian sportiness in terms of engineering skills, research into materials and shared vision set out across three levels: sports partnership, technical collaboration and the creation of special editions inspired by the world of sailing.
An authentic manifesto of the Italian brand, Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa is made based on the gritty Giulia Quadrifoglio production model. It is built at the Cassino plant and subsequently transformed in an artisan process that also involves a selection of Italian partners that specialize in the highest quality and innovative workmanship.
Developed as part of the BOTTEGAFUORISERIE universe – the new creative core dedicated to customization, aesthetic research and performance, and an initiative that combines the excellence of Alfa Romeo and Maserati – Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa perfectly embodies the Biscione brand’s philosophy: to create unique, technologically advanced objects deeply rooted in Italian excellence.
Since its debut, the Alfa Romeo Giulia in its Quadrifoglio version has been at the pinnacle of high-performance sedans, and has become a true benchmark. Today, thanks to this new version, a genuine Made in Italy masterpiece has taken shape, at the apex of the Alfa Romeo special series.

Made in only ten units, all of which have already been sold, the new special series is the most extreme Giulia Quadrifoglio ever courtesy of a series of technical interventions and a specific carbon-fiber kit that make it a masterpiece of aerodynamic efficiency: it can generate up to five times the downforce of the production version while maintaining a surprisingly low drag value.
 

Extreme performance
The secret of the Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa's exceptional performance lies in the new carbon-fiber aerodynamics package, developed to maximize efficiency and stability without compromising top speed.
The entire car has undergone targeted interventions to improve overall aerodynamic performance, while preserving the excellent original balance: more downforce, yes, but distributed harmoniously, practically identical to the standard configuration. This result stems from obsessive attention to the refined management of every single air flow. Every detail has been designed to guide the air with precision, reducing turbulence and exploiting every useful vortex to generate stability and efficiency.
The consequence is impressive: Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa generates approximately 140 kg of downforce at 300 km/h, reaching a value about five times higher than the production version.
Under the bonnet pulsates the iconic twin-turbo 520-hp 2.9 V6, combined with mechanical self-locking differential. This solution optimizes torque transfer, increasing stability, agility and cornering speed. The upshot is a car that not only accelerates hard but tackles every corner with precision, embodying the perfect synthesis of aerodynamics, mechanics, and Italian passion.
 

Dedicated aerodynamics package
The front features side appendages that increase the load on the front axle by exploiting the accelerated flows on the end of the bumper. A pair of profiles applied to the underbody also generates a strong suction effect with a significant peak in load at the front, made possible by emphasis on the ground effect. Along the sides, carbon-fiber side skirts seal the flow under the car, improving overall efficiency.
A leading role is definitely played by the spectacular rear wing. Its dual profile, supported by two central pylons, draws inspiration from the foils of the Luna Rossa AC75: hydrodynamic appendages that lift the boat onto the water. Alfa Romeo has reinterpreted this language, turning the foil section upside down to generate opposing forces: not to fly, but to force the car down onto the tarmac with extraordinary efficiency.
Alfa Romeo has reinterpreted this language, turning the foil section upside down to generate opposing forces: not to fly, but to force the car down onto the asphalt with extraordinary efficiency. Alfa Romeo technicians have studied a profile with variable incidence to channel this high-energy vortex structure, obtaining a high aerodynamic load with a reduced surface area, to maximize the desired upwash effect.
The specific design of the dual profile therefore guarantees an increase in aerodynamic downforce with very high efficiency values, which enable the Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa to reach a top speed of 300 km/h. A solution that combines formal elegance and advanced engineering, transforming the complexity of flows into pure performance. The integration of the solutions designed by Alfa Romeo technicians ensures an optimal aerodynamic balance of 40% on the front, which contributes to making driving dynamics even more precise.
 

Luna Rossa style: exclusive materials and unique details
The aesthetics of the special series are inspired by the color of the Luna Rossa AC75 boat that took part in the 37^th America's Cup in Barcelona in 2024. In detail, the bodywork is hand-painted in an iridescent color, reproducing the metallic effect of steel. Onto this base is grafted the two-tone livery with a red side band and the wording “Luna Rossa”, the team's symbol. The Alfa Romeo brand logos on the front and rear have been modified specifically for this special series: for the first time in the brand’s history, they come on a red background. The 19" wheels have also been repainted with a red shade from the interior, whereas the roof, shield and mirror caps are made of visible carbon fiber, unequivocally accentuating the prestigious, sporty nature of the new Giulia Luna Rossa special series. Finally, some of the ten units feature a two-tone livery that emphasizes the contrast between the metallic tint and the red accents. The interiors continue the stylistic story of the Luna Rossa team, including new Sparco seats with an exclusive upholstery inspired by the materials and graphics of the Personal Flotation Devices used by the boat’s crew. The dashboard fascia also houses a wafer-thin film, one of the multiple layers that make up an original Luna Rossa sail, provided by the team to be machined and integrated into the car, to bring an authentic fragment of Luna Rossa's history into the passenger compartment. All this is even further enhanced by the interior trim in carbon fiber, including the central tunnel and seat shells embellished with the Luna Rosso logo to make the car a collector's item.
 

Alfa Romeo, Official Sponsor of Luna Rossa: together for the 38^th America's Cup
On June 10, 2025, Alfa Romeo announced its partnership with Luna Rossa, an outstanding Italian sailing outfit. Thus began a new chapter in international sport: the two brands are preparing to face together the challenge of the 38^th America's Cup, the most prestigious sailing competition in the world, to be held in Italy for the first time in history, in the iconic setting of the Bay of Naples. The announcement was made in an emotive video (available here), which drew evocative parallels between two Italian organizations that can transform passion into movement, identity into style, and competition into vision. During the announcement, Alfa Romeo also announced the involvement of the Luna Rossa team in the 43^rd Mille Miglia, aboard the historic 1956 Alfa Romeo 1900 Super Sprint usually kept at the Arese Museum, to round off the beginning of an authentic and ambitious collaboration that unites two Italian icons united by a shared vision: constant innovation, excellence in sport and always pushing their limits. Last but not least, it is worth a mention – as seen in the Giulia Luna Rossa special series – that the collaboration goes far beyond visibility or communication, translating into a real exchange of skills, with the respective teams engaged in the joint development of high-tech solutions.
