A 1.5L supercharged straight six, what a fantastic thing that must have been!
Like others have said I’d prefer a green or red version. Tan interior would have made for a better special edition.

They are nice, surprised they haven't used them in the press photos.
They were dropped a while back... Shame really. And so was the CF roof.

Check the configurator. Both are currently listed as options.

Magnificent cars; disappointing special edition.
Does Alfa need to shift an over-order of Akrapovic pipes?

I saw one of the first delivered QFs that had it all: carbon fiber seats, ceramic brakes, and the manual transmission, on the Rosso Competizione paint. Super rare to find on the used market.

I am a sucker for a nice painted calliper, not in black, so for that reason I am out, and I will take a nice used red one with yellow grippers please at half the price, twice the aggro (if it stays on the drive that is)
Opposite for me.
Sick of crouching down threading a brush through the wheel to clean them.

Giulia with Gold or bronze wheels would look very nice indeed.

The saloon in particular is very pretty, all the more tempting with a short shelf life smile

Change the alloy colour to a pale metallic champagne colour and I'm in.

It could be that we are finally moving on from the painted calliper look for ‘performance’ models. I don’t know who started it (Porsche maybe) but it certainly caught on!

But I’ve never really got it.
Fair enough!

Yep, Brembo in 1992 apparently for Porsches and the Audi S2!!
The S2 just had normal Girling 2 pot calipers, not Brembos. The RS2 had them but that only came out in ‘94. It must have been the 964 Turbo as I had some none turbo calipers for a VR6 back then and they were always black with white Porsche writing on them. Turbo were always red calipers.

Or not as most seem to have no interest in selling cars.
