Alfa 'Nurburgring' special editions - new pics
Nurburgring cars shot on the actual Nurburgring - can we see them in the UK soon?
UPDATE, 18/06/2018, 0930h:
We use 'update' here in the loosest sense of the term, because really Alfa Romeo has only released new images of its Nurburgring special editions of the Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio. Actually, that's a bit of a fib, because Alfa has confirmed that each buyer will receive a scale moel of their car, a Welcome Kit (comprised of Sparco racing gloves and customised soft shell jacket, sports bag, 'Quadrifoglio' cuff links and Car Shoe racing slippers) and a driving course on the Nordschleife itself. Plus an authenticity certificate.
Full UK details of the car are due to follow on July 4th, so there definitely will be a few over here. More news next month!
ORIGINAL STORY, AS REPORTED 06/03/2018:
Should your working day ever require an injection of excitement, the video of Fabio Francia lapping the Nordschleife in a Giulia Quadrifoglio should do the trick. It's seven and a half minutes of terrifying, unwavering commitment, the t-shirted test driver hurling the Alfa around with frightful disdain. It's one heck of a way to set a four-door saloon record at the 'ring (that being for production cars, the Jag Project 8 of course being limited).
Despite a few nice extras though, these 'NRING' cars are not the dedicated circuit specials you might have been hoping for. Over the standard Quadrifoglios, both versions come with the optional ceramic brakes, the upgraded Sparco seats and a few carbon trinkets outside. And that's sort of it.
Except they would have to charge a £20,000 premium on top of the cost of the extras.
Interesting to see what price premium this attracts above a normal QV with the same options. Love the colour....but then I am biased
They do seem very much special editions in the Lotus mould - not necessarily a bad thing as long as it's cheaper than speccing the same options on a normal car, but not particuarly "special".

Kind of annoying that Alfa has also jumped on the Nurburgring bandwagen, in keeping with their Milanese heritage they should've called it "Edizione Monza" or something, and put some flair into it, rather then a matte gray paintjob... This isnt an Audi RS6 after all
