2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio breaks cover at Dubai Motor Show
Posted by Zaran Tarapore on Nov 23, 2017
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.
