(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat- Dhofar Automotive, the official distributor of Alfa Romeo in the sultanate, is displaying the Alfa Romeo 'Giulia' and 'Stelvio' at Muscat City Centre till March 22.
This marks a perfect opportunity to know more about the Stelvio, which is the first-of-its kind SUV from Alfa Romeo. It combines an exhilarating driving experience with a strong performance and sporty look.
The Alfa Romeo Giulia, on the other hand, is a luxury mid-size sedan featuring an unprecedented level of Italian craftsmanship, class-leading performance, cutting edge technology and true driving passion.
Commenting on this display, Rhett Maxwell, general manager of Dhofar Automotive, said, 'The acclaimed Alfa Romeo brand offers a variety of models with a unique Italian blend of sophistication and elegance, while retaining the legacy of sportsmanship inspired by long-standing motorsports heritage.
'The Giulia and Stelvio models have won a number of international and regional awards since their launch and are now presented at Muscat City
Centre.'
'We at Dhofar Automotive are pleased to invite all Alfa Romeo enthusiasts in the sultanate to come see the Giulia and Stelvio models which will be on show until March 22. We also encourage them to visit Alfa Romeo showrooms and meet with sales representatives for a personal driving experience,' he added.
Being the first Alfa Romeo SUV, the Stelvio features an attractive look with strong performance, something that is even more prominent in the Quadrifoglio variant. It has design features that create an even sportier style and cater to the car's specific technical features. Its all-aluminium 2.9l V6 bi-turbo petrol engine delivers 510hp and 600Nm of torque, achieving a top speed of 283kmph and acceleration from 0 to 100kmph in just 3.8 seconds. It's no surprise, therefore, that Stelvio Quadrifoglio recently set a new record for its class on the iconic Nürburgring with a time of seven minutes 51.7 seconds.
Alfa Romeo Giulia, on the other hand, offers new standards for the luxury mid-size sedan class. It has won a number of international and regional awards and is the front-runner of its class since its initial reveal. As with the Stelvio, the most potent version of the Giulia is the Giulia Quadrifoglio. Fitted with the same 510hp V6 2.9l bi-turbo petrol engine and 8-speed automatic transmission, the Giulia Quadrifoglio guarantees thrilling performance, with a top speed of 307kmph and a 0-100kmph acceleration time of just 3.9 seconds.
Maxwell added, 'We have chosen Muscat City Centre because it is one of the main shopping destinations in the capital and is very popular with Omanis and expatriates. Therefore, it is the perfect place to display the models so as to allow the widest segment of our customers to view them up close. I am confident that displaying the Giulia and Stelvio will add value to the integrated shopping experience at Muscat City Centre.'

Alfa Romeo Automobiles SpA was founded as ALFA ('Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili', which translates as 'Lombard Automobile Factory, Public Company' in English) on June 24, 1910, in Milan, Italy.
The company has been involved in car racing since 1911, and has competed successfully in many different categories of motorsport, including Grand Prix motor racing, Formula One, sports car racing, touring car racing and rallies, competing both as a constructor and an engine supplier, via works entries (usually under the name Alfa Corse or Autodelta) and private entries.
The first racing car was made in 1913, three years after the foundation of the company, and Alfa Romeo won the inaugural world championship for Grand Prix cars in 1925. The company established a strong reputation in motorsport and this created a sporty image for the marque.
Five elements have made Alfa Romeo one of the world's most desirable automotive brands: Distinctive Italian design, state-of-the-art, innovative engines, perfect 50/50 weight distribution, unique technical solutions and the best weight-to-power ratio.
These are the essential ingredients to create an Alfa Romeo and which deliver the 'meccanica delle emozioni' (or 'the mechanics of emotions' in English). This distinctive line, used worldwide in Italian only, pays homage to the homeland where the legend was born over a century ago. The brand carries Italian-made pride on everyday roads as well as on the most famous racetracks.
