At the headquarters of the Alfa Romeo F1 Team in Hinwil, Alfa Romeo showed off the Estrema special editions of its cars. The "Estrema" models are the world's first special series. They have a finish that puts them at the top of the range because they have the best technical and dynamic solutions, style, and sportiness, all at the same time. At the Alfa Romeo F1 Team factory, they made their first public appearance as a team. Outside of the racetracks, Alfa Romeo and Sauber work together to improve efficiency and find new ways to make cars more environmentally friendly.
The Alfa Romeo Giulia and Alfa Romeo Stelvio Estrema are the first of a new chapter in the brand's history of being sports cars. The "Estrema" is the first special series to be sold worldwide and bring Alfa Romeo's performance to a new level. It is a perfect blend of technical sophistication and driving pleasure. There are now four trim levels in the Alfa Romeo range: Super and Ti, which have to meet the needs of the most demanding customers, and Sprint and Veloce, which are meant to show off the brand's sporty side. Naturally, the Estrema variant is at the top of the range.
These cars are for people who are always looking for the emotions of owning a car. Hence, they are called driving purists. A well-informed customer who is not too concerned about the muscle structure of the car's aesthetics but who is interested in technical solutions that can provide balance and exceptional driving dynamics.
The new active suspensions are standard on all new sports cars. Because they can change with the weather and driving style, they provide exceptional comfort without sacrificing sporty handling or driving pleasure. The Alfa Active Suspension is a control system that manages the suspensions and shock absorbers in conjunction with CDC (Chassis Domain Control) and DNA, adjusting its intervention based on the car's mode.
There is always a self-locking mechanical differential on this car's Estrema versions. As a result, you can be sure that it will stay stable and have a lot of control. In addition, it distributes torque and traction even when exiting corners, at high speeds, and when you are accelerating.
These cars have a sporty look from the outside or inside because they use a lot of carbon. Notice that the mirrors have a carbon fiber finish and that the grille has a V shape on it. Also, the Estrema badge on the bumper, the alloy wheels (19-inch on the Alfa Romeo Giulia and 21-inch on the Alfa Romeo Stelvio), and the brake calipers are all dark. The same sporty look is carried over to the inside, where there is carbon fiber veneer and Alcantara sports seats, a unique material that looks good and works well. Another thing that makes this car look unique and sporty is the red stitching on the dashboard, steering wheel, and gear lever knob.
The new Alfa Romeo Giulia and Alfa Romeo Stelvio Estrema have 2.0 Turbo petrol engines that make 280 hp or 2.2 Turbo Diesel engines that produce 210 hp. Both engines are linked to an 8-speed automatic transmission and Q4 all-wheel drive. There is still an audio system with 14 Harman Kardon speakers to finish the list of things.
Formula 1 Sauber and Alfa Romeo work together to help the brand's success. In July, the partnership renewal between Alfa Romeo and Sauber Motorsport shows that both sides want to keep moving forward together. This strategic synergy is meant to help the team, and the brand has a bright future through a well-thought-out plan for the long term. F1 is the best place to try new things because it is a unique hybrid strategy. It is at the forefront of extensive data management and artificial intelligence, developing new software for the future. This is important for a brand like Alfa Romeo, which places a lot of emphasis on technology. The headquarters of the Alfa Romeo F1 team is a place where new technologies are born. The new Alfa Romeo Giulia and Alfa Romeo Stelvio Estrema could only be shown in this place.
At the headquarters in Hinwil (Switzerland), the present is combined with a vision for the future to bring strategic assets to life and share technical know-how. @via Alfa Romeo.
