Alfa Romeo relaunches Cloverleaf badge
Alfa Romeo is reintroducing its Cloverleaf badge in the UK with a special series Alfa GT which goes on sale on July 1.
The Cloverleaf first featured on Alfa Romeo’s racing models from the 1920s and denoted enhanced sports handling and styling additions.
Topping the four-version Alfa GT Cloverleaf range is the 1.9JTDM 16V Cloverleaf Q2 170bhp, featuring a Q2 limited slip differential to deliver outstanding cornering ability, along with a sport button that varies the mapping of the throttle to give a normal or sporty accelerator response.
All Alfa GT Cloverleaf models come with 18-inch double spoke alloy wheels, red brake callipers, satin-effect front grille and door mirrors. Three versions sport a Cloverleaf badge on the boot lid, while the 170bhp version features the Cloverleaf inside a white triangle above the front wheel arch. Customers will be able to choose from three individual exterior colours – carbonio black, Alfa red and atlantico blue.
Inside the cabin, Alfa Romeo has added leather sports seats, aluminium sports pedals and sports dials with a red background. A Bose RDS radio with CD and MP3 reader sound system is also standard.
