  • NOVITEC Alfa Romeo Giulietta

    Power is no sin and thus NOVITEC now also offers custom-tailored versions of its tried and proven POWERJET 2 tuning modules for the turbocharged gasoline models of the Giulietta. After the plug-and-play installation of the auxiliary control module the 1.4 TB 16V model produces 141 hp / 104 kW of power, up from standard 120 hp / 88 kW. Power output of the NOVITEC-tuned MultiAir engine with identical displacement jumps from 170 hp / 125 kW to a powerful 195 hp / 141 kW.

    NOVITEC engine tuning is also available for the 1.8-liter turbocharged engine of the Giulietta. The POWERJET 2 module bumps power output of the four-valve, four-cylinder engine by 26 hp / 19 kW and boosts peak torque to 386 Nm. Thus equipped the Italian speedster produces 261 hp / 192 kW and sprints from rest to 100 km/h in just 6.5 seconds on the way to a new top speed of 251 km/h. Despite its outstanding efficiency the engine tuning is a great bargain at just EUR 419.

    NOVITEC power tuning is also available for the three turbodiesel engines of the Giulietta. The POWERRAIL 5 module, which also installs easily by means of a plug connector, lends the 1.6 JTD 16V model an extra 15 hp / 11 kW of power.

    In the 2.0 JTD 16V model with a standard power output of 140 hp / 103 kW the auxiliary control unit unleashes an extra 20 hp / 14.7 kW. Power output of the also available 170-hp diesel model with custom-calibrated NOVITEC auxiliary control unit jumps to 195 hp / 143 kW while peak torque grows by 50 Nm to 400 Nm. The NOVITEC POWERRAIL 5 modules are available for EUR 335.

    With or without engine tuning: the NOVITEC stainless-steel sport rear mufflers, available in various designs with two or four tailpipes, lend all models a sportier exhaust note.

    Another focal point of the NOVITEC tuning program for the Giulietta lies in the handling. The measures include custom-tailored alloy wheels with diameters of 18, 19 or 20 inches. The king-sized version features NOVITEC N10 20-inch wheels, available with a silver or matte-black finish. In size 8.5Jx20 and shod with size 235/50 R 20 Pirelli P Zero tires they perfectly fill the wheel wells.

    The perfect complement to these wheels and tires are either NOVITEC sport springs, which lower the ride height of the Giulietta by some 35 millimeters, or the stainless-steel coil-over suspension with adjustable ride height and damper rates. It lends the Alfa Romeo a firmer setup and provides infinitely variable ride-height lowering between 35 and 75 millimeters.

    The NOVITEC body kit offers sporty design at its best in combination with efficient aerodynamic function.

    The front of the vehicle undergoes an exciting facelift with the help of EUR 167 spoiler corners that attach to the left and right side of the front fascia, and the centrally mounted cup spoiler for EUR 83. But that’s not all: together these components also further reduce lift on the front axle.

    The NOVITEC side skirts for EUR 234 give the Giulietta a lower, sleeker appearance. The rear of the vehicle receives some added profile with the help of the rear fascia with diffuser look. This component is available for EUR 167 in different versions with precise cutouts for the various exhaust tip variants of the NOVITEC sport rear muffler.

    The NOVITEC components come with general operating certificates, thus saving customers costly and time-intensive individual technical inspections. They also eliminate the need to register the body components in the vehicle registration documents.
