Alfa Romeo Giulia Super 1.6 Lusso 1980

The 1980 Alfa Romeo Giulia Super 1.6 Lusso is a car that strikes the perfect balance between Italian elegance and sporting performance. Introduced in 1962, the Giulia was one of the first sedans in the world to be aerodynamically designed, with a strikingly angular shape that was revolutionary at the time. What made this Alfa so special was that it was intended not only as a comfortable family car, but also as a serious driver's car with technology that was far ahead of its competitors. Even decades later, the Giulia is praised for its playful character and timeless style.

Under the hood is a 1.6-liter four-cylinder with dual overhead camshafts, a typical Alfa engine known for its lively character and recognizable sound. With an output of about 102 hp and a relatively low weight, the Giulia Super 1.6 Lusso offered a driving experience that was unëven in its class at the time. The combination of rear-wheel drive, a balanced chassis, and a direct-shifting gearbox ensured that the Giulia was not only comfortable on long drives, but also surprisingly dynamic when cornering.

The addition Lusso in the name indicates a more luxurious finish, distinguishing this Giulia from the more standard versions. This model was equipped with refined interior details, including high-end upholstery, additional chrome accents and an even finer dashboard design. Alfa Romeo understood that sportiness and comfort could go hand in hand, and the Lusso version underscored that perfectly. This was a car for enthusiasts who not only appreciated a smooth driving style, but also had an eye for detail and craftsmanship.

The Giulia Super was known not only for its road qualities, but also for its presence in motorsport. In the ‘60s and ‘70s, this model was often used in rally’s and touring car championships, where it stood out for its light and agile nature. These racing genes can still be felt in the way the car behaves: communicative, playful and always inviting to explore further where its limits lie.

The Giulia's design has only become more beautiful over the years. What was once considered an angular sedan is now recognized as one of the most characterful designs in Alfa’s rich history. Its compact proportions, distinctive nose with the Scudetto grille and subtle sloping roofline give the car a timeless look that is both elegant and sporty.

This 1980 Alfa Romeo Giulia Super 1.6 Lusso is a shining example of what has always made the brand so beloved. A car with soul, an engine that comes alive with every movement of the gas pedal and a driving experience that is pure and unfiltered. For the enthusiast looking for a classic car that is not only beautiful to look at, but also drives fantastically, the Giulia remains one of the best choices.

This car has undergone an extensive restoration, with both the technology and the bodywork tackled with attention to detail. From engine and suspension to paintwork and interior, everything has been carefully overhauled or renewed to bring the car back to top condition.
