Precio: 46.500 € (estimado UK) Motor: 1.75-litros, 4cil, turbo Potencia: 286cv a 5.900rpmPar (Nm): 380Nm a 2.500rpm Transmisión: 6-Vel, manual Tracción: Delantera Velocidad Máxima: 254Km/h 0-100Km/h: 6.2 segundos Peso: 1400Kg (estimado) A la venta: Nunca Here’s an Alfa that will turn you green with envy! This striking one-off is the latest special from Italian tyre maker Marangoni – and only weeks after its debut at the Bologna Motor Show, Auto Express has taken it for an exclusive first drive. It’s based on the hot Giulietta Cloverleaf, and the eye-catching green tyres are only the start of the extensive tweaks. Visually, it’s more toned down than the MiTo M430 we drove in Issue 1,046, although it has the same Ferrari-inspired front bumper and carbon fibre rear diffuser. The Wasabi Green theme continues inside. Here, the Alcantara and leather on the seats are accompanied by stunning details such as an Apple iPad dock mounted in the centre of the dash and a colour-coded Segway electric scooter that stows neatly in the boot. What impresses most, however, are the performance upgrades. Thanks to a new turbo and exhausts, the 1,750cc engine has been boosted to a whopping 282bhp – and it has been remapped to keep lag to an absolute minimum. The effect is astonishing, and above 2,500rpm the G430’s pace is searing. Each gearchange is accompanied by a whoosh of induction noise and raucous bark from the twin exhausts. The raw, hot hatch experience makes this Giulietta feel much more like a track day car. To cope with the extra muscle, the suspension is 40mm lower. Coupled with the black, 19-inch wheels, it provides a harsh ride. Yet although the chassis still struggles to put down all the power, scrabbling around for traction if you press too eagerly on the throttle, the G430 grips strongly and corners with poise. Overall, this reworked Giulietta is an enormously entertaining car to drive. It’s just a pity Alfa couldn’t inject the same levels of excitement into the standard model. |

| Los señores estes de Marangoni parece ser que hacen neumáticos de altas prestaciones además de preparaciones becerras de coches como esta. |

Si le quitas ese color a los neumáticos y tapicería... y los logos, dejándole los de Alfa Romeo... pinta bastante bien! En rojo o blanco tiene que estar muy wapo

Feo a rabiar por la elección de los tonos y el difusor trasero que me parece un pegote enorme. Ojo que a mi el Giulietta me gusta, pero esta preparación no. Y por otra parte, las cifras no son nada sorprendentes para 286 jacos. El megane RS acelera en menos tiempo con 250cv y peso ligeramente inferior |

| Precioso, menos todo lo que es de ese color. Yo lo dejaría en negro y tan felices. |
