We’ve all become accustomed to resto-mods that upgrade classics to a more modern driving experience, but Italian coachbuilder ErreErre Fuoriserie has reverse engineered the idea with its Alfa Romeo Giulia retro-mod.
With the latest Quadrifoglio as a starting point the firm has turned back the clock to 1962 when the original Giulia TI made its debut. It’s certainly a bold look with its boxy front wings and squared-off tail echoing those of the 105 series sedan designed by Giuseppe Scarnati. At its launch the Giulia TI was one of the most aerodynamic cars of the day, with its 0.34 drag coefficient aided by the unusual sculpting of the trunk lid and roof line which were tested in a wind tunnel.
The ErreErre Fuoriserie Giulia takes these features and exaggerates them further in its carbon-fiber re-body. The fascia boasts a classic four-lamp setup and compact Alfa grille, while the rear lights are set in rectangular housings to mimic those of 60 years ago. There’s also a rear diffuser that’s not dissimilar to the recent GTA and splendid GTA-style alloy wheels.
The Giulia’s 2.9-litre turbo V6 gets a Capristo exhaust system which helps to boost power from 510bhp to 570, and the car is now suspended on Bilstein B16 coilovers giving it a lower ride height and, presumably, more agile handling. A manual transmission is available to add to the experience and the interior gets a rather lavish re-trim.
ErreErre Fuoriserie is set to build just 33 examples and if you want one you can expect to pay more than €400,000, although that does include a donor car.
sorry but this has spoilt a beautiful car and made a monster ,retro leave it where it was
Beautiful
The front looks great, the rear looks fab (is that a nod to Zagato with the chopped off rear?), the interior is delicious, the side view . . . ??
Super nice styling not happy about the rear lamp cluster ,good for me to note reflections of the RZ was considered a bit Marmite I love the concept many thanks please considered me as a candidate should it go beyond,regards C
Update 2 door ?
I would love to know it’s performance figures.
The only thing that’s ready for is the crusher. Utter dog’s dinner.
Beautiful car as usual by Alfa. But what has happened at the back.ugly and looks like someone decided they were bored with designing it.
Ridiculous! I hope this is just a hoax. Another rubbish attempt at mimicing a batmobile. (3.0 v6 166 Sportronic owner)
From the same British Leyland design school as the Rover P6?
(Quite like it)
