Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio 1st Gen Quadrifoglio

Same 690 V6 engine as the Giulia Quadrifoglio: 2.9-litre twin-turbo, 505 hp at 6,500 rpm, 443 lb-ft from 2,500-5,000 rpm. ZF 8HP eight-speed automatic — no manual offered. Q4 all-wheel drive sends up to 100% of torque to the rear axle in normal driving, splitting toward the front only when needed for traction. Mechanical limited-slip rear differential. Active aero front splitter that deploys at speed. Brembo brakes standard, carbon-ceramic optional. 0-60 in 3.6 seconds, top speed 176 mph. The Stelvio Quadrifoglio's 7:51.7 Nürburgring lap (recorded September 2017) made it the fastest production SUV around the Ring at launch — a record beaten since but still respectable. The 2024 facelift introduced new digital cluster, infotainment updates, and Matrix LED headlights. Reliability has been consistently below segment average — Alfa shoppers should budget for service-intensive ownership.
