Alfa Romeo has recently unveiled the updates for its popular Giulia sedan and Stelvio compact crossover models for the 2024 model year. Among the updates, Alfa Romeo enthusiasts will be delighted to know that the spicy Quadrifoglio models will now be available in Carbon Edition versions. However, these special versions will be limited to only 130 units combined for the Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio, and will be exclusively available in North America.
The pricing for the Carbon Edition starts at $86,470 for the 2024 Giulia Quadrifoglio Carbon Edition and $93,870 for the 2024 Stelvio Quadrifoglio Carbon Edition. Both prices include a $1,595 destination charge. The Carbon Edition models feature carbon fiber accents on the exterior, including the grille and side mirror caps.

For the Giulia, customers also have the option to fit a carbon-fiber roof.
Inside the cabin, the Carbon Edition models boast exclusive red leather sport seats and further carbon-fiber accents on the dashboard, doors, and center console. These accents add a touch of sportiness and luxury to the interior. Some previously optional features, such as a Harman Kardon audio system and Alfa Romeo’s Active Assist Plus group of electronic driver-assist features, have been made standard in the Carbon Edition models.
Under the hood, there have been no changes to the powertrains for the Carbon Edition models. Both the Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio are powered by a twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 engine, producing an impressive 505 horsepower.
