Alfa Romeo Giulia Range Imagined in Multiple Body Styles
Digital renderings explore how the Alfa Romeo Giulia could look as a coupe, estate, hatchback and more, as the brand’s new saloon stirs strong interest ahead of launch.
Alfa Romeo’s Giulia saloon has triggered a wave of digital speculation, with enthusiasts and designers rendering the car in a suite of body styles beyond the initial four-door. The official unveiling of the Giulia Quadrifoglio Verde (QV) in mid-2015 put Alfa Romeo’s new rear-wheel-drive platform on show, but for now only the high-performance QV variant is confirmed for production.
Independent renderings have imagined the Giulia as a two-door coupe, cabriolet, shooting brake, five-door hatchback and estate. Some interpretations even borrow cues from the smaller Giulietta, suggesting a three-door hatch or a sleeker four-door coupe. These digital sketches reflect both the pent-up demand for a broader Alfa Romeo range and the flexibility of the Giulia’s architecture, but none are officially planned by the manufacturer at this stage.
What’s confirmed for production?
Alfa Romeo has so far only shown the Giulia in its Quadrifoglio Verde saloon form. The QV is powered by a 2.9-litre twin-turbocharged V6 producing 503hp, sending drive to the rear wheels. This puts it directly up against the BMW M3, Mercedes-AMG C63 S and Audi RS4, with a claimed 0-100km/h time of 3.9 seconds. The car will make its public debut at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show.
There is strong interest in possible estate and coupe derivatives, particularly for markets where rivals offer more than a single body style. While Alfa Romeo has not confirmed any expansion of the Giulia lineup, the company has a history of developing sportwagon and coupe variants on its core platforms. For now, fans must settle for digital renderings and speculation.
Imagined variants in renderings
- Two-door coupe
- Convertible (cabrio)
- Shooting brake
- Estate (sportwagon)
- Three-door hatchback
- Four-door coupe
- Five-door hatchback
A number of renderings also suggest the Giulia could spawn a modern 6C sports car, with cabrio and racing-inspired Squadra Corse versions. These remain speculative, but show the level of enthusiasm for Alfa Romeo’s return to rear-wheel drive and high-performance models.
