The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is one of the most thrilling sedans on the road today, combining a potent twin-turbo V6 engine with a sharp chassis and a gorgeous design. But what if you want something even more exclusive and nostalgic? Enter the Alfa Romeo 1000Miglia limited edition, a special version of the Giulia that celebrates the brand's centenary and its racing heritage.
What is the 1000Miglia?
The 1000Miglia (or Mille Miglia) was a legendary endurance race in Italy from 1927 to 1957, covering about 1,000 miles (hence the name) on public roads. The race was considered one of the most prestigious and challenging events in motorsport history, attracting drivers and manufacturers worldwide. Alfa Romeo was one of the most successful brands in the 1000Miglia, winning 11 times and setting several records.
The race was revived in 1977 as a regularity rally for classic cars, and since then, it has become a popular attraction for enthusiasts and collectors who want to relive the glory days of the 1000Miglia. The route still follows the original course from Brescia to Rome and back, passing through scenic towns and landscapes along the way.
What makes the Alfa Romeo 1000Miglia special?
The Alfa Romeo 1000Miglia is a limited edition of only 100 units per model, based on the Giulia Quadrifoglio and its SUV sibling, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio. The cars feature a unique livery inspired by the original Alfa Romeo racers that competed in the 1000Miglia, with red body color and white accents on the hood, roof, trunk lid, and side skirts. The cars also sport a special badge on the front fenders, depicting the number "100" and the four-leaf clover (or quadrifoglio) that symbolizes Alfa Romeo's racing luck.
Inside, the Alfa Romeo 1000Miglia features a black leather interior with red stitching and carbon fiber trim. The seats are embroidered with the quadrifoglio logo and the "100" badge, while the dashboard displays a plaque with the serial number of each car. The cars also come with a certificate of authenticity and a book that tells the story of Alfa Romeo's involvement in the 1000Miglia.
