Italy’s coachbuilding legacy shines bright with names like Zagato, Touring, and Bertone, each crafting automotive icons with unmistakable flair. Their finest creations?
Often built on an Alfa Romeo. Now, a new player, ErreErre Fuoriserie, steps into this storied arena with its debut project: a reimagined Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio styled to echo the 1962 Giulia police cars from *The Italian Job*. It’s bold, it’s beautiful—and it’s wildly expensive.
A Retro Rebody with Modern Muscle
The Giulia ErreErre Fuoriserie takes the sleek Quadrifoglio and drapes it in retro charm, inspired by the boxy Tipo 105 of the ‘60s. From the front three-quarter view, it’s a stunner—sharp, elegant, and near-perfect. But shift to the rear, and the proportions feel a tad awkward, a compromise forced by the unalterable modern safety cell. The retro carbon-fiber panels sit atop the Giulia’s curvy base, giving the tail a wider, slightly ungainly stance. Still, the craftsmanship overshadows any quibbles.
5,000 Hours of Artistry
Each car demands 5,000 hours of labor—equivalent to 208 straight days of work. The body is hand-finished carbon fiber, a nod to lightweight luxury. The 19-inch wheels mimic the 1962 Giulia’s pepper-pot design, scaled up to fill those massive arches. A bespoke Capristo Automotive center-exit exhaust adds a throaty roar, while Bilstein supplies custom suspension. Stopping power comes from upgraded Brembo Carbon Ceramic brakes—essential, given the power bump.
Power and Performance
Under the hood, the Giulia’s engine now pumps out 554hp and 502lb ft of torque, up from the standard 514hp and 443lb ft. ErreErre Fuoriserie keeps performance stats under wraps—likely to avoid risking these precious machines—but expect a 0-62mph sprint quicker than an Italian espresso shot. It’s a potent blend of heritage and horsepower.
The Price of Perfection
All this bespoke brilliance comes at a cost: €310,000 (around £260,000), excluding the donor Giulia Quadrifoglio you must provide. That’s a steep ask, but for those with deep pockets, it’s a tempting proposition. The interior, with its tan-and-cream upholstery and custom steering wheel, seals the deal as a rolling work of art. I’d take mine in red—how about you?
