Alfa Romeo Giulietta Safety Car for SBK Championship

For SBK fans. The Alfa Romeo Giulietta that will serve as this year’s safety car at the SBK World Superbike Championship. It is based on the range-topping Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde that’s motivated by a 1.75-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine pumping out 235 horsepower.

That’s good enough to propel the standard production car from zero to 100km/h (62mph) in 6,8 seconds and on to a top speed of 242 km/h or 151 mph.

Alfa Romeo has not released any specific details on the safety car version of the Giulietta QV, but aside from the special lights, we assume it gets all the usual knick-knacks like radio-equipment and monitors.

Alfa Romeo Giulietta (2010)

Alfa has revived an historic badge for its all-new 147 replacement, seen here in these first official pictures issued today. Could it be love at first sight? Meet the stunning Alfa Romeo Giulietta – an all-new Ford Focus-rivalling five-door hatch which replaces the ageing 147.

Using a new platform that will underpin the next Fiat Brava, the Giulietta uses a mix of steel and aluminium clothed in bodywork that borrows cues from the 8C supercar – sort of – including sweptback headlights and a narrow glasshouse. All Giuliettas will have five doors but the rear handles are hidden in the C-pillar, just like the old 147’s, to give a coupé feel. The sports car feel continues inside with red-lit instruments grouped into two hooded binnacles and a wide expanse of dashboard with modern-style toggle switches.
