Alfa Romeo presents the world premiere of the exclusive Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa, the first expression of the partnership with the Luna Rossa team, a benchmark of international sailing and a symbol of Italian sportiness and technological innovation.
More than a sponsorship, the collaboration represents the convergence of two icons of Italian performance, united by shared values, advanced engineering capabilities, research into materials and shared vision across three pillars: 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 acclaimed Giulia Quadrifoglio production model. Built at the Cassino plant, each car is subsequently transformed through a meticulous artisanal process involving a select network of Italian partners specialising in the highest quality and innovative workmanship.
Developed as part of the BOTTEGAFUORISERIE – the new creative hub dedicated to customisation, aesthetic research and performance, and an initiative uniting 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 stood at the pinnacle of high-performance sedans and has become a true benchmark in its segment. Today, With this new limited series, Alfa Romeo reaches the apex of its special-edition craftmanship, creating a true Made in Italy masterpiece
Produced in just ten units, all of which are already sold, the Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa is the most extreme Giulia Quadrifoglio ever created.
A series of targeted technical interventions and a bespoke carbon-fiber aerodynamic package make it a masterpiece of aerodynamic efficiency, capable of generating up to five times the downforce of the production version while maintaining remarkably low drag.
Extreme performance
At the heart of the Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa’s extraordinary performance lies a newly developed carbon-fiber aerodynamics package, engineered to maximise efficiency and stability without compromising top speed.
The entire car has undergone precise aerodynamic refinement performance, increasing downforce while preserving the model’s inherent balance. The result is a significant increase in load, distributed harmoniously and closely aligned with the standard configuration.
This achievement stems from painstaking management of 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 outcome is striking: Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa generates approximately 140 kg of downforce at 300 km/h, nearly five times higher than the production version.
Under the bonnet is the iconic twin-turbo 520-hp 2.9 V6, combined with a mechanical self-locking differential that optimises torque transfer, enhancing stability, agility and cornering speed, delivering 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
At the front, side appendages increase the load on the front axle by exploiting the accelerated airflow at the bumper edges.
Additional underbody profiles generate a strong suction effect with a significant peak in load at the front, made possible by emphasis on the ground effect. Carbon-fiber side skirts seal the flow beneath the vehicle, further improving overall efficiency.
The defining feature is the spectacular dual-profile rear wing supported by two central pylons, inspired by the foils of the Luna Rossa AC75. While sailing foils lift the boat above water. Alfa Romeo has inverted this aerodynamic principle, transforming it into downforce that presses the car firmly onto the asphalt.
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 maximise 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 37th America’s Cup in Barcelona in 2024. The bodywork is hand-painted in an iridescent color, reproducing the metallic effect of steel.
Overlaid with a two-tone livery featuring a red side band and “Luna Rossa” script. 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 are finished in a bespoke red tone, matching interior accents, while the roof, shield and mirror caps are made of visible carbon fiber, accentuating the prestigious, sporty nature of the new Giulia Luna Rossa special series. Selected units feature a two-tone livery that emphasises the contrast between the metallic tint and the red accents.
Inside, the Luna Rossa narrative continues with exclusive Sparco seats upholstered in materials and graphics of the Personal Flotation Devices used by the boat’s crew.
The dashboard fascia incorporates an ultra -thin film taken from an original Luna Rossa sail, supplied by the team and precisely machined to become part of the car – bringing an authentic fragment of Luna Rossa’s history into the cockpit.
Carbon fibre interior trim, including the central tunnel and seat shells embellished with the Luna Rosso logo make the car a true collector’s item.
Alfa Romeo, Official Sponsor of Luna Rossa: together for the 38th America’s Cup
On June 10, 2025, Alfa Romeo announced its partnership with Luna Rossa, opening a new chapter in international sport. Together, the two brands are preparing to face together the challenge of the 38th 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 partnership was unveiled through an emotive video (available here), that drew parallels between two Italian organisations that can transform passion into movement, identity into style, and competition into vision.
The collaboration also saw the Luna Rossa team participate in the 43rd Mille Miglia, aboard the historic 1956 Alfa Romeo 1900 Super Sprint from the Arese Museum, marking 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.
The partnership goes beyond communication or visibility. It represents a genuine exchange of expertise, with joint development of advanced technologies and performance solutions.
