Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio NRing, exclusive high-performance versions now on sale, plus a complimentary driving course

Only 108 units of each model —as many as the years of history Alfa Romeo has behind it— will be offered by the Italian performance brand on the new Giulia and Stelvio NRing, the new limited special editions with which the brand wishes to celebrate the close historical bond that links Alfa Romeo with the Nürburgring circuit, scene of some of its most important sporting successes.

By incorporating the name of the legendary “Green Hell” into the “NRing” designation, Alfa Romeo names the new limited special editions of its Stelvio and Giulia models, aimed especially at collectors of the brand’s models and equipped with exclusive special content, such as their Circuit Grey exterior finish, specifically created for this version, or the identification plate for the unit in the special edition inserted in the instrument panel, made of carbon fibre.

The Alfa Romeo NRing also features carbon ceramic brakes, bucket-type seats from Sparco for competition use, an Alcantara leather steering wheel and numerous carbon inserts in its interior finish. This material is also used for the exterior mirror caps, the front and rear spoiler applications and the grille element bearing the brand’s emblem. In addition, the Giulia uses this element for its roof, while the Stelvio features a large electrically operated glass panoramic roof.

The equipment of both versions is complemented by first-class elements, such as the on-board infotainment system which, in both cases, includes a high-end sound system signed by specialist Harman Kardon, the Alfa Connect 3D Nav system as standard, and many others.

With the launch of these special editions, Alfa Romeo pays tribute to the success achieved by the Alfa Stelvio Quadrifoglio, which was crowned the fastest SUV to complete the Nordschleife of the Nürburgring (it took 7 minutes 51.7 seconds to cover its very technical 20.832 km circuit). The Giulia Quadrifoglio completed the same circuit in 7 minutes 32 seconds, reaching a top speed of 307 km/h.

Alfa Romeo has also created a very special equipment package for buyers of this limited series. All of them will be presented by the brand with a 1:18 scale model of the car purchased and a welcome kit (sports bag, gloves, jacket and other accessories) that they will be able to wear on the sports driving course that the brand’s specialists will deliver at the Nürburgring circuit itself in 2019.
