1:18 1/18 Alfa Romeo Giulia Super 1969 1970 amaranto Laudoracing-Models

The Alfa Romeo Giulia Super in the beautiful original Amaranto colour, presented in 1:18 scale, is an exceptionally attractive choice for classic car collectors, enthusiasts of Italian automotive history and anyone who appreciates legendary Alfa Romeo models. The original Alfa Romeo Giulia Super was introduced in 1965 as a more powerful and luxurious version of the Giulia, while the 1969 and 1970 model years represent a particularly interesting period in the development of this iconic Italian automobile. The Giulia Super was renowned for combining elegant Italian styling, excellent driving characteristics, a powerful engine and the practicality of a four door saloon.

At the heart of the Giulia Super was the famous Alfa Romeo inline four cylinder petrol engine with twin overhead camshafts, or DOHC, a technical feature that became one of the trademarks of Alfa Romeo. The 1,570 cm³ engine produced approximately 98 hp at around 5,500 rpm, with maximum torque of approximately 136 Nm at around 3,000 rpm. Thanks to the car’s relatively low weight and lively engine characteristics, the Giulia Super offered impressive performance for a family saloon of its era.

The engine was equipped with twin carburettors, providing a responsive throttle and the characteristic sporty power delivery associated with Alfa Romeo. The combination of a high revving four cylinder engine, twin overhead camshafts and advanced engineering helped establish the Giulia’s reputation as one of the most enjoyable and fastest saloons of its time. The Giulia Super could reach a top speed of approximately 175 km/h, an impressive figure for the late 1960s.

Engine power was transmitted to the rear wheels through a five speed manual gearbox. The five speed transmission was one of the Giulia’s significant technical features, especially at a time when many competing cars were still equipped with four speed gearboxes. The transmission ratios were designed to make effective use of the engine’s flexibility in urban driving while also allowing the car to maintain high cruising speeds at relatively low engine rpm.

The Giulia Super was also renowned for its advanced chassis and precise road handling. The front suspension was independent and used coil springs, while the rear axle was a rigid design located by longitudinal arms and a Panhard rod, also using coil springs. This configuration provided excellent stability and precise handling through corners. Alfa Romeo paid particular attention to weight distribution and suspension geometry to ensure that the Giulia retained its sporty character even during everyday driving.

The braking system was also advanced for its time. The Giulia Super featured disc brakes on all four wheels, providing effective and consistent braking performance. The combination of four wheel disc brakes, rear wheel drive, relatively low weight and a powerful engine gave the Giulia excellent driving characteristics and stability at higher speeds.

The Giulia’s bodywork was the result of distinctive Italian design, combining elegant lines with aerodynamic efficiency. The Giulia Super was approximately 4,140 mm long, around 1,570 mm wide and approximately 1,430 mm high, with a wheelbase of around 2,510 mm. Vehicle weight was approximately 1,050 kg, depending on the exact specification and equipment. Its relatively low weight in relation to engine power was one of the reasons why the Giulia was such a lively and sporty automobile.

The interior of the Giulia Super was equally distinctive. The car featured a characteristic dashboard with large round instruments, a sporty steering wheel and clearly arranged controls. The Giulia Super was known for its quality finish, comfortable seats, spacious cabin and practical four door saloon layout. Compared with standard Giulia versions, the Super offered richer equipment and a more pronounced sporting character.

One of the most recognisable details of the Giulia Super was its front grille with the characteristic Alfa Romeo shield, twin headlights and horizontal chrome elements. Chrome bumpers, elegant side lines, pronounced wheel arches and the distinctive rear design created an appearance that remains instantly recognisable to enthusiasts of classic Alfa Romeo automobiles.

A particularly attractive feature of this collectible model is its original Amaranto colour. This deep red shade beautifully emphasises the characteristic lines of the Giulia and gives the model an authentic appearance reminiscent of Italian sporting automobiles from the late 1960s.
