Alfa Romeo’s Edizione Luna Rossa special editions take inspiration from sailing

Alfa Romeo has launched a new special-edition trim level designed to take inspiration from sailing boats and equipment.

Called Edizione Luna Rossa, it’s a new special trim which will be used on the Junior, Tonale, Giulia and Stelvio cars.

Inspired by the Luna Rossa sailing team, it brings a range of visual tweaks and changes to the four vehicles and is set to be introduced to the UK soon.

On the Junior and Tonale, this means a new grey paint with gloss black exterior detailing, alongside alloy wheels designed specifically for the trim level. You’ll find Luna Rossa badges applied to both cars, too, alongside a special 3D knit upholstery inside. The Junior will be available in either hybrid or electric forms, while the Tonla can be equipped with a ‘regular’ hybrid or a plug-in hybrid setup.

Giulia and Stelvio cars get more performance-focused features, with carbon fibre exterior detailing matched to carbon fibre wing mirrors. The alloy wheels are finished in a dark grey paint, too, and sit ahead of red brake calipers. Inside, there’s a blend of leather and Econyl, which uses recycled plastics to form a hard-wearing material.

Both Giulia and Stelvio models also get a Harmon Kardon stereo system, while an electric sunroof is equipped as standard on the former, or as an optional extra on the latter car. Both versions get a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine.

The new Alfa Romeo Edizione Luna Rossa cars will be available to order from December 1, with the first cars expected to arrive in the first quarter of next year.
