Alfa Romeo has reversed its previous decision to halt sales, bringing the legendary Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio models back to the European market. At the Brussels auto show, the brand promised to reconsider its stance—and now confirms that order books will open in March 2026, with production of these performance flagships extended at least through 2027.This move responds to customer demand, as the Quadrifoglio remains a symbol of peak performance and the brand's historic DNA. From a market perspective, the decision makes sense: after a disappointing 2025 in the U.S., where Alfa's sales dropped 36%, the company is focusing on strengthening its position in Europe. This strategy is bolstered by the successful Junior model and the retention of emotional, sport-oriented versions.The Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio retain their classic configuration: a 2.9-liter V6 producing 520 horsepower, a mechanical limited-slip differential, carbon-fiber body elements, and an enhanced aerodynamics package. The Giulia offers rear-wheel drive, while the crossover features the signature Q4 all-wheel-drive system. The package also includes Sparco carbon-fiber seats and a leather-and-Alcantara interior.Overall, the return of the Quadrifoglio sends a clear signal: Alfa Romeo is committed to its sporty heritage and is in no rush to abandon models that build brand image and customer loyalty.
