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

The 1969–1970 Alfa Romeo Giulia Super, finished in the attractive original vehicle colour Rosso Alfa (Alfa Red), is a faithful miniature replica of one of Italy’s most iconic sports sedans. Produced by Laudoracing-Models, a manufacturer renowned for its finely detailed collectible classic car models, this legendary Alfa Romeo is recreated in 1:18 scale (1/18), making it an excellent choice for automotive history enthusiasts, collectors and admirers of timeless Italian design.

The original Alfa Romeo Giulia Super was powered by a four-cylinder petrol engine with a displacement of 1,570 cc (1.6 litres), featuring an aluminium engine block and cylinder head, dual overhead camshafts (DOHC) and two valves per cylinder. The cylinder bore measured 78 mm, while the piston stroke was 82 mm. With a compression ratio of approximately 9:1 and two twin-choke Weber carburettors, the engine delivered responsive acceleration, a sporty character and the distinctive sound associated with classic Alfa Romeo cars.

Depending on the specific version, the engine produced approximately 98–102 hp (72–75 kW), with peak torque ranging from around 137 to 142 Nm. The Giulia 1600 Super developed approximately 102 hp at 5,500 rpm, while its peak torque of around 142 Nm was available at 4,400 rpm. The top speed was approximately 175–178 km/h (109–111 mph), and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (0–62 mph) took around 10.5–11.5 seconds, depending on the version and testing conditions. Average fuel consumption was approximately 10–12 litres per 100 km. For a car produced in the late 1960s, these figures represented an impressive combination of practicality, elegance and sporting performance.

Engine power was transmitted to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox with reverse gear. This configuration allowed efficient use of the available power, comfortable cruising on open roads and dynamic acceleration. The rear-wheel-drive layout, longitudinally mounted engine and propeller shaft contributed to balanced handling and the engaging driving experience for which Alfa Romeo became famous among sports saloon enthusiasts.

One of the Giulia Super’s important technical features was its disc brakes on all four wheels, providing effective stopping power and improved control at higher speeds. The hydraulic braking system represented an advanced solution for its era, while details such as brake assistance and the configuration of the braking circuits depended on the specific version and production date. The car did not feature modern electronic systems such as ABS, making driver skill an important part of effective braking.

The front suspension featured independent wheel suspension with double wishbones, coil springs, hydraulic shock absorbers and an anti-roll bar, allowing precise steering and good grip through corners. At the rear, the car used a live rear axle with longitudinal locating arms, coil springs and telescopic shock absorbers. The mechanical steering system, featuring a worm-and-recirculating-ball mechanism, provided a direct connection between the driver and the road. The combination of firm suspension, rear-wheel drive and relatively low weight contributed to the sporty character for which the Giulia Super remains remembered.

The car featured a unitary steel body with four doors and elegant Italian styling. Its length measured approximately 4,140–4,160 mm, its width around 1,560 mm and its height approximately 1,430 mm. The wheelbase measured 2,510 mm, while kerb weight ranged from around 1,020 to 1,040 kg, depending on the version and measurement method. The vehicle accommodated five occupants and featured a fuel tank with a capacity of approximately 45–46 litres and a luggage compartment offering around 480 litres of space. These dimensions provided an appealing balance of passenger room, comfort and agility.

The interior of the Giulia Super combined functionality with a distinctive sporting character. The dashboard featured large circular instruments displaying road speed and engine revolutions, accompanied by a separate clock and additional control instruments, depending on the version. The sporty steering wheel, traditional controls and clearly arranged instrumentation reinforced the car’s driver-focused character. Exterior styling was complemented by chrome trim, steel wheels, the distinctive Alfa Romeo front grille and the legendary Biscione serpent emblem on the rear side pillar.
