Named after the Stelvio mountain pass in Italy, the Italian SUV makes its intentions known from the get-go. With performance ranking high on its priority list, it shares its platform with the Giulia sedan and is available in both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations.

Borrowing more than one would expect from the Giulia sedan, the Stelvio stands 22-centimeters higher, 2.9-cenitmeters wider, and even shares its carbon fiber drive shaft. With a perfect 50/50 weight distribution and an aerodynamic drag of 0.30, it’s no wonder the Stelvio set a stellar record at the ultimate proving ground, the Nurburgring.
Power is provided by a Ferrari-developed 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 engine that churns out 503 horsepower and 600 Nm of torque. When pushed to its limits, with the prominent aluminum accelerator pedal, the Italian SUV hits 100 km/h in 3.8-seconds and a top speed of 283 km/h.
