Marangoni bets on the Alfa Romeo Giulietta

Marangoni, a specialist in Alfa Romeo, has just unveiled its latest project, for which it has taken as a base none other than the new Alfa Romeo Giulietta. In this new project, as the tuner himself states, they wanted to offer a possible GTA version of the Giulietta, something that owners of this excellent model will undoubtedly appreciate.

Among the new features of this model, you have surely already noticed the new body kit that is much sportier and more aggressive. This kit suits this new Alfa very well, very well until we look at the rear, where Marangoni has fitted a practically race-spec diffuser that does the rear of the Giulietta no favours.

To complete this whole compendium of upgrades, the Italian tuner has fitted new 19-inch Barracuda alloy wheels wrapped in M-Power iGreen tyres with an acid green colour, which catches the eye the moment you look at this car.

Now, if we move inside, the surprise continues with seats upholstered in Alcantara in the same colour as the tyres, as well as inserts in carbon fibre. On the other hand, you will surely appreciate the integration of a holder for an Apple iPad, or even an electric scooter, the SegWay i2 with a 38 km range.

So far everything is very good and very eye-catching, but… where is the cherry on top? The cherry on top, and practically the only good thing about the project, is the work carried out on the 1.8-litre engine fitted to this model, which, among other things, has had its turbo changed, its ECU reprogrammed and even its exhaust system modified. All in pursuit of a final output of 286 horsepower.

To control such a surge of power, Marangoni has fitted new composite-material discs and high-performance calipers on the front axle. Alongside this new braking system, Marangoni’s Giulietta also features new suspension signed by KW, which lowers the height of the model by 4 cm.
