Alfa Romeo Unveils Ultra-Rare Quadrifoglio Collezione Models for 2026
Alfa Romeo has revealed two of its most exclusive modern performance cars: the Giulia Quadrifoglio Collezione and Stelvio Quadrifoglio Collezione. These limited-run models celebrate the legendary Quadrifoglio badge and arrive as certified “Instant Classics.” Only 63 units of each will be available worldwide, with allocations confirmed for Europe, the U.K., China, Japan, and importantly, the Middle East.
For car collectors in the UAE, this is one of the standout releases of 2025. With electrification reshaping performance cars, Alfa Romeo’s decision to build these final combustion-powered Quadrifoglio special editions gives them even more value and emotional weight.
Why the Collezione Editions Matter
The Quadrifoglio emblem dates back to 1923, when driver Ugo Sivocci painted a four-leaf clover on his race car and took victory at the Targa Florio. Since then, the badge has symbolized Alfa Romeo’s deepest performance DNA.
The number 63 pays tribute to 1963, the year the Quadrifoglio first appeared on a street-legal Alfa Romeo, the Giulia Ti Super. The 2026 Collezione models exist to honour that legacy while marking the final chapter of Alfa’s traditional high-revving era.
Two Cars, One Heritage and Two Exclusive Shades of Red
To mark the occasion, Alfa Romeo created two new triple-coat red finishes inspired by the 33 Stradale’s Rosso Villa d’Este:
- Rosso Collezione Giulia
A darker, moodier tone with deep crimson reflections that match the Giulia’s aggressive character. - Rosso Collezione Stelvio
A brighter, more energetic shade that expresses the Stelvio’s muscular stance.
These are collector-grade paints designed specifically for this limited series, and will likely never return.
Performance That Honors the Quadrifoglio Legacy
Both models stay true to Alfa Romeo’s emotional performance formula. Under the hood sits the twin-turbo 2.9-litre V6, tuned to 520 PS (market dependent). Alfa ensures these editions feel like a proper farewell to combustion performance.
Key performance upgrades include:
- Standard Akrapovič exhaust for a sharper V6 soundtrack
- Carbon-ceramic brakes with red Alfa branding
- Carbon-fiber aerodynamics and exterior trim
- Carbon-fiber roof on the Giulia for reduced mass and better balance
These aren’t mere styling packages. They are full engineering tributes to what made Quadrifoglio models icons.
Collector-Focused Interiors
Inside, the Giulia and Stelvio Collezione cabins are designed to feel rare the moment you open the door. Each car carries individual numbering (“1 of 63,” “2 of 63,” etc.), turning it into a certified collectible.
Interior highlights:
- Leather and Alcantara upholstery with red stitching
- Dedicated Collezione embroidery
- Carbon-fiber interior trim
- Sparco carbon-shell bucket seats in the Giulia
Every detail feels intentional, crafted to reflect the brand’s racing heritage.
Why This Launch Is Big for the UAE
The Middle East has always been a strong hub for performance car culture. Limited-run models like the Collezione editions appeal directly to the UAE’s community of collectors and enthusiasts. With electrification shaping the future, combustion-era masterpieces like these gain even more appeal.
Owners won’t just be buying a fast car. They’re securing:
- A 1 of 63 production rarity
- A certified Alfa Romeo “Instant Classic”
- A tribute to 1963 heritage
- Exclusive colours tied to the 33 Stradale
- A piece of Alfa Romeo’s final V6 era
In the UAE’s premium market, that combination is extremely valuable.
Final Word from Drive UAE
The 2026 Giulia Quadrifoglio Collezione and Stelvio Quadrifoglio Collezione stand as emotional, limited, and beautifully executed farewell pieces before Alfa Romeo shifts deeper into electrification. These cars blend racing heritage, Italian drama, and modern engineering in a way collectors dream about.
If any models deserve the “Instant Classic” title, it’s these two. And with allocations confirmed for the Middle East, UAE drivers and collectors now have the chance to own a truly historic Alfa Romeo chapter.
