Added value for limited-edition Alfa Romeo Giulietta Veloce S

A small batch of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta small car has been announced, offering $6900 worth of extra value for no more than $3500 over the price of the flagship model in the range.

Named the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Veloce S, the new variant will be priced at $45,500 and just 30 units will be sold in Australia, preceding an upgraded model expected in Australia within months.

Starting with the range-topping Giulietta Veloce as its base, the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Veloce S adds visual enhancements including 18-inch dark miron alloy wheels, red badges and exterior decals, a Magneti Marelli ‘Elaborazioni 1919' sports exhaust system and carbon-look trim for the front grille, exterior mirror covers and sideskirts. The three colours available are Black, White and Stromboli Grey.

Inside, the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Veloce S features a 10-speaker BOSE audio system, upgraded floor mats and exclusive badging.

Mechanically, the Giulietta Veloce S is unchanged, with the 1.8-litre turbocharged petrol four-cylinder producing 177kW and 340Nm. The engine drives through a six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the front wheels via an electronically controlled differential.

"The Giulietta Veloce S Edition is a sporty addition to the Giulietta line-up that's sure to excite drivers looking for a car that exudes sophistication," said Guillaume Drelon, Director of Brand & Product Strategy at FCA Australia.

"The Veloce S Edition is not only a premium, stylish variant of the range-topping Veloce, it also delivers almost 50 per cent customer advantage on the added content before on road costs," said Drelon.
