But performance is not Alfa Romeo’s only strength. In fact, this four-door sports sedan is also a leader in design, looking remarkably stylish. The interior is sophisticated and enhanced by the leather dash with dark gray stitching. Moreover, the Quadrifoglio badge inside the speedometer is a unique style touch.

The leather-wrapped steering wheel has carbon fiber details and the Alfa Romeo badge in the center. The aluminum paddle shifters are very easy to use and help drivers shift faster.
