GOODWOOD - Alfa will deut the All-New Giulia along with refreshed MiTo, 4C, Giulietta and some class racers.

Alfa Romeo will be demonstrating the full power of the marque when the Italian brand showcases the All-New Alfa Romeo Giulia in the UK for the first time at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on 23 - 26 June.

Those attending the event will be among the first in the UK to witness the dynamic Italian saloon. The eagerly-anticipated Alfa Romeo Giulia was first unveiled to the world last year at the Museo Storico Alfa Romeo, revealing its sporty styling, intuitive technology and thrilling performance.

Over the Goodwood weekend the range topping Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, powered by an all-new, 510hp, turbo-charged V6, will be making its dynamic UK debut when it takes to the famous Goodwood Hillclimb.

Making its UK debut alongside the All-New Alfa Romeo Giulia range will be the new Alfa MiTo, which was unveiled alongside the new Alfa Giulietta at the Geneva Motor Show in March. Taking styling cues from the Alfa Romeo Giulia, updates to both the new Alfa MiTo and Giulietta include a new ‘Giulia inspired’ honeycomb grille and fascia, interior and exterior upgrades, new badging, and sleek alloy wheels.

Alfa Romeo’s legendary heritage and lineage will also be on display at the Festival, with an Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm, 33/3 Le Mans Spider, and an Alfa Romeo 33 TT 12 making the pilgrimage from the Museo Storico Alfa Romeo in Italy to take on the Goodwood Hillclimb. In addition, an original 1960s Giulia TI Super model will be shown alongside the latest generation Giulia on the Alfa Romeo stand.

Completing the Alfa Romeo line up on the stand will be one of only 50 stunning Alfa Romeo 4C Spider Limited Editions, which have been created to pay homage to 50 years of the Alfa Romeo Spider.

Damien Dally, Country Manager, Alfa Romeo UK, commented; “2016 marks an incredibly important moment in Alfa Romeo’s history as we launch the All-New Alfa Romeo Giulia and start an exciting chapter for the iconic marque. We’re delighted to be debuting the Giulia to the UK public at Goodwood Festival of Speed.

“With the new Alfa Romeo line up of New Alfa MiTo, Giulietta, 4C and the Giulia, there’s never been a broader or more tempting selection of beautiful Alfa Romeo cars to choose from.”
