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

The Alfa Romeo Giulia Super is one of the cars that uniquely captures the spirit of the Italian automotive industry of the 1960s. This 1:18 scale model, produced by licensed manufacturer Laudoracing Models, faithfully represents the iconic Giulia Super from the 1969 and 1970 period in the attractive original Verde Pino colour. The elegant dark green shade, classic body lines and wealth of finely reproduced details make this collectible model particularly appealing to Alfa Romeo enthusiasts and collectors of 1:18 scale model cars.

The Giulia Super was a more powerful and better equipped version of the popular Giulia. From the beginning, it was designed to be more than just a practical four door saloon, offering drivers a distinctly sporty driving experience as well. This combination of everyday usability, elegant styling and sporting performance became one of the defining characteristics of the Giulia Super.

Under the bonnet was an Alfa Romeo four cylinder petrol engine with a displacement of 1,570 cm³. The engine featured a twin overhead camshaft, or DOHC, configuration, a characteristic Alfa Romeo engineering feature that became an important part of the brand’s technical identity. Equipped with twin carburettors, the engine produced approximately 98 hp at 5,500 rpm and around 136 Nm of torque at approximately 3,000 rpm.

This powertrain was particularly effective thanks to the relatively low weight of the car. The Giulia Super weighed approximately 1,050 kg, depending on the specification and equipment, allowing the favourable power to weight ratio to deliver lively performance. Its top speed was approximately 175 km/h, which was a very significant figure for a four door saloon in the late 1960s.

One of the Giulia’s notable features was its five speed manual gearbox combined with the sporty engine. At a time when many cars in the same class still used four speed transmissions, the five speed gearbox allowed the driver to make better use of the engine’s characteristics while providing comfortable cruising at different speeds. Power was transmitted to the rear wheels, further reinforcing the car’s traditional sporting character.

The chassis was designed with an emphasis on stability and precise handling. The front axle featured independent suspension with coil springs, while the rear used a rigid axle located by longitudinal arms and a Panhard rod, also equipped with coil springs. This configuration provided the Giulia with very good cornering behaviour and stability at higher speeds while maintaining a level of comfort suitable for everyday driving.

The braking system featured disc brakes on all four wheels. Combined with rear wheel drive, relatively low vehicle weight and the powerful petrol engine, this braking configuration provided effective stopping performance and excellent vehicle control.

The Giulia Super measured approximately 4,140 mm in length, around 1,570 mm in width and approximately 1,430 mm in height, with a wheelbase of around 2,510 mm. These dimensions provided sufficient interior space while maintaining compact proportions that contributed to the car’s distinctive sporting character.

The exterior design of the Giulia Super remains one of its greatest attractions. The characteristic front grille with the Alfa Romeo shield, twin headlights, chrome details, slim bumpers, elegant side surfaces and distinctive rear design created a silhouette that has become synonymous with classic Alfa Romeo styling.

The original Verde Pino colour suits this model particularly well. The dark green shade highlights the chrome details and elegant body lines while giving the model an authentic appearance reminiscent of an Italian automobile from the late 1960s. Verde Pino combines understated elegance with a distinctive character, making the model stand out among classic cars finished in more common red or white colours.

Laudoracing Models has recreated this historic automobile in 1:18 scale with particular attention to its distinctive characteristics. The model faithfully reproduces the body shape and proportions of the original car, together with the front grille, twin headlights, chrome trim, wheels, glazing and other recognisable details.

The quality of Laudoracing Models craftsmanship can be seen in the carefully finished bodywork, accurate proportions and attention to fine details. The 1:18 scale allows the characteristic interior of the Giulia Super to be reproduced with impressive clarity, including the dashboard, instruments, steering wheel, seats and other passenger compartment details. The exterior features further enhance the authentic appearance and make the model particularly attractive for display.

This model is interesting not only because of its appearance. It represents an automobile whose engineering concept was highly advanced for its era. The combination of a 1,570 cm³ engine, approximately 98 hp, around 136 Nm of torque, twin carburettors, DOHC technology, a five speed manual gearbox, rear wheel drive and four wheel disc brakes created a distinctive technical package that helped make the Giulia Super one of the best known sporting family saloons of its generation.
