While Italian manufacturer Alfa Romeo launches its high-performance Quadrifoglio line with a dramatic, limited-edition send-off, buyers in the United States will be left out.
Two unique editions, the sedan Giulia Quadrifoglio Collezione and the SUV Stelvio Quadrifoglio Collezione, totalling merely 63 vehicles worldwide, the company unveiled.
Although it is rare and esteemed, none of the collector-grade vehicles will cross the Atlantic. Alfa Romeo verified that North America would be removed from the Collezione allocation. Alfa Romeo did not modify the formula; both models kept the powerful 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 engine, which is modified to provide around 520 horsepower.
Still standard, an Akrapovic performance-style exhaust system and carbon-ceramic brakes help to keep the raw driving character that defined past Quadrifoglio vehicles.
The Collezione automobiles stand out thanks to their aesthetic and collectable details. Inspired by the famous ‘Rosso Villa d’Este,’ the Giulia sports a deeper, almost black crimson hue, while the Stelvio exhibits a brilliant red.
Carbon fiber is used specifically on mirror caps, insignia, roof elements, as well as interior trim. It has a custom-numbered interior with Alacantara inserts, carbo-fiber Sparco seats and leather upholstery with red stitching. Along with this, it has headrests embroidered with a sequencing label like ‘X di 63 Collezione’.
The heritage department of Alfa Romeo will certify every automobile as an instant classic. Instead of simply performance vehicles, these touches will turn the automobiles into collector-oriented works of art on wheels.
After Alfa Romeo stopped its combustion-engine Quadrifoglio models in North America, the Collezione series was released.
The brand ceased offering fresh Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglios in the United States and Canada for 2025 and beyond, therefore marking a bigger move toward electrification.

But, because of lower-than-expected demand for electric vehicles, the automaker briefly brought back its V6 flagship models, albeit on a modest, worldwide basis only. Their Collezione run pays tribute to Quadrifoglio’s combustion history while letting Alfa Romeo evolve more slowly.
