When it was promoted that Alfa Romeo->ke1386, specifically the Giullieta->ke4005, would have a prominent role in Fast & Furious 6, not a lot of people thought that the Italian automaker would take it to the next level.
Well, it did; and now we have the Alfa Romeo Giullietta Fast and Furious 6 Limited Edition. The model will be limited to only six units, which speaks to its exclusivity. It will only be sold in the UK via the Motor Village Marylebone in London and will come with subtle additions that will distinguish itself from other Giullietta models.
Each of the six models will get a numbered plaque that corresponds to each of the movies the hit franchise has had. Plus, the dashboard of each of the six models has been signed by the cast of Fast & Furious 6.
Powering these six special models is a 1.4-liter MultiAir four-cylinder engine with 170 horsepower. This engine nets the Giullietta a 7.7-second 0-to-100 km/h (62 mph) time and a 218 km/h (135 mph) top speed.
“This is a very exclusive model taken directly from a blockbuster movie of global appeal," said Damien Dally, Head of Brand, Alfa Romeo UK.
"The Alfa Giullietta Fast & Furious 6 limited edition is a hugely exciting addition to our range, one we feel sure will appeal not just to fans of the films, but all those with a discerning eye for beautiful automotive styling."
Should you be interested in one of the six models, be advised that a lot of people are too. So get to stepping and prepare ₤25,675, which is about $39,100 based on current exchange rates.

Alfa Romeo Giulietta
It's not as heralded as the Alfa Romeo 4C but make no mistake, the Giulietta has been the rock of the Italian automaker's automotive lineup; rightfully so, because this sports hatch is nothing to sneeze at. It boasts of a unique and appealing design that touches on sporty aggression while also retaining some classic Alfa design aura.
Plus, and this is a big one, the Giulietta's top engine is a 1.8-liter four-cylinder turbocharged Quadrifoglio Verde engine that produces an impressive 235 horsepower. This gets the hatchback to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 6.8 seconds and to a top speed of 242 km/h (150 mph). Pretty stout, huh?
