High-Performance Engine The Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde (QV) is equipped with a 1.75-liter turbocharged inline-four engine, producing 235 horsepower in earlier models and 240 horsepower in later versions.
Distinctive 'Quadrifoglio Verde' Badge The 'Quadrifoglio Verde' (Green Cloverleaf) emblem has been a symbol of Alfa Romeo's racing heritage since 1923, signifying performance-oriented models.
Enhanced Suspension and Braking This model features a sport-tuned suspension and Brembo brakes with 330mm discs and four-piston calipers, providing improved handling and stopping power.
Launch Control System The Giulietta QV is equipped with a 'Launch Control' system, optimizing all electronic systems to ensure maximum acceleration, achieving 0-100 km/h in just 6 seconds.
Aluminum Engine Block In 2014, the engine block was updated from iron to aluminum, reducing weight and enhancing performance.
Dual-Clutch Transmission The 2014 model introduced a 6-speed Alfa TCT (Twin Clutch Transmission), offering both automatic and sequential manual shifting with paddle shifters.
Limited 'Launch Edition' A special 'Launch Edition' was released in 2014, limited to 999 units, featuring carbon fiber accents and exclusive color options.
