2023 Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio range scores mild facelift and limited editions, but will Australia ever see them?

Alfa Romeo has revealed 100th anniversary editions of the Giulia sedan and Stelvio SUV, which bring the facelifted look from the rest of the range to the performance-spec Quadrifoglio variants.

The facelifted look includes a re-worked bumper design, new and more contemporary light fittings, and a fresh 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.

100th anniversary editions also get a power boost for the 2.9-litre bi-turbo V6 (now up to 388kW), and for the first time in the range a mechanical limited-slip differential. Aesthetic touches include commemorative badges and gold brake calipers. Inside, there is also gold trim, 100th anniversary badges and "3D-effect" carbon fibre trim.
