1.1 Giulia TI
Tipo 105.14 was the rst model introduced in 1962.
1,570 cc Alfa Romeo Twin Cam engine with single downdraft carburettor, 92 PS (68 kW; 91 hp) at 6500 rpm. The
TI nomenclature referred to a class of Italian saloon car
racing known as Turismo Internazionale, and had previously been applied to higher-performance versions of
the 1900 and Giulietta saloons in the 1950s. However,
for the Giulia saloon, the Ti was at rst the only version
available, and later, with the introduction of the TI Super and Super, the TI became the base version for the
1,600 cc engine class. Steering column gearchange (the
only one in the Giulia range) replaced with oor change
for 1964 (Tipo 105.08). Right hand drive available from
1964 with oor change only (Tipo 105.09). Brakes were
by drums all around at rst. Discs were introduced later,
rst at the front, and later all around. A brake servo was
not tted at rst, but was introduced in later cars. The
steering wheel featured the only horn ring ever in the Giulia range. The dashboard with a strip speedo is a notable
feature, as is the steering wheel with a horn ring. The
Giulia TI was phased out in 1968 and re-introduced as
the austerity model 1600 S (see below).

loon which was produced by Italian car manufacturer

Alfa Romeo from 1962 to 1978. Alfa Romeo was one
of the rst manufacturers to put a powerful engine in a
light-weight car for mainstream production. The Giulia
weighed about 1,000 kilograms (2,205 lb). The car was
equipped with a light alloy twin overhead camshaft fourcylinder engine, similar to that of the earlier Giulietta
models range. Engine capacities oered were 1.3-litre
(1,290 cc) or 1.6-litre (1,570 cc). Various congurations
of carburetors and tuning produced power outputs from
about 80 to about 110 bhp (55 to 75 kW). Almost all
Giulias made had a 5-speed manual transmission. Giulias
were noted for their lively performance among sedans of
that era, especially considering the modest engine size.
The popular Super version with the twin carburettor 1.6
litre engine had a top speed of 170 km/h (106 mph). 0 to
100 km/h (62 mph) took about 12 seconds. This performance was better than many sports cars of the late 1960s
and early 1970s. When leaving the factory all variations of the Giulia originally tted either Pirelli Cinturato
165HR14 tyres (CA67) or Pirelli Cinturato 155HR15
tyres (CA67).

The styling was quite straight forward, but with a great

amount of detail. The engine bay, cabin and boot were all
square shaped. But the grill, the rooines and details on
the bonnet and boot made for an integrated design from
bumper to bumper. Thanks to Alfa Romeo using a wind Panther Alfa Giulia Super.

included dual-circuit brakes, centre-mounted handbrake

lever to replace under-dash umbrella handle, larger external doorhandles, and top-hinged pedals (the latter in
left hand drive models only; right hand drive continued
with bottom-hinged pedals to the end of production). In
1972, Tipo 105.26 was rationalised into the Giulia 1.3 Giulia 1.6 range (see below).

Tipo 105.16 was a special racing model introduced in

1963. Quadrifoglio Verde (green four-leaf clover) stickers on the front wings were a distinguishing feature. Only
501 were made for homologation and today it is very
rare and desirable.[6] The 1,570 cc engine was tted with
two double-choke horizontal Weber 45DCOE carburettors for 112 PS (82 kW; 110 hp) at 6500 rpm. The body
was lightened and a oor gearchange was tted as standard, as were alloy wheels of very similar appearance to
the standard steel ones of the TI. The TIs instrument cluster with its strip speedometer was replaced with a threeinstrument binnacle comprising speedometer, tachometer
and a multi-gauge instrument (fuel, water temperature,
oil temperature and pressure) - these instruments were
similar to those tted to the contemporary Giulia Sprint
and Sprint Speciale coupes and Spider convertibles. The
steering wheel was a three-spoke item with centre hornpush, also similar to that of the more sporting models.
Braking was by discs all around, although the rst cars Giulia 1300 TI.
used drums (triple leading shoe on the front) and early
disc models lacked a servo which was introduced later.
The police cars seen in The Italian Job were of this type.

Giulia 1300

Tipo 105.06 was an austerity model made from 1964 to

1970 with a 1,290 cc single-carburettor engine for 78 PS
(57 kW; 77 hp) at 6000 rpm. Four-speed gearbox with
oor change tted as standard (the 1300 was the only Giulia model not tted with a ve-speed gearbox). Though
the engine was given a 105 series type number, it was basically the engine from the 101 series Giulietta Ti. This
model appears not to have been exported to many markets
outside Italy, if at all. Braking was by discs all around,
without a servo at rst, later with a servo.

1.4

Giulia Super

Tipo 105.26 was introduced in 1965. It transferred the

technology from the racing TI Super to a road car, to
make the most successful Giulia saloon. 1,570 cc engine
with two double-choke Weber 40DCOE carburettors for
a milder, but torquier tune than the TI Super - 98 PS (72
kW; 97 hp) at 5500 rpm. New dashboard with two large
round instruments (speedo and tacho) and clock. Sportier
steering wheel with three aluminium spokes and centre
horn push, similar to that of the Ti Super, later changed
for one with the horn pushes in the spokes. All-around
disc brakes with servo were tted as standard from the
outset. The serpent crest of the Sforza family appears
in a badge on the C-pillar and is a distinguishing feature of the Super. For 1968, there was a suspension update, including revised geometry and a rear anti-roll bar.
The wheels were changed in size from 5J x 15 to 5J x
14, and tires from 155/15 to 165/14. For 1970, updates

Tipo 105.39 built from 1965 to 1972. Right hand drive

model replaced in 1970 by the 1300 Super (see below).
1,290 cc engine with single down-draft carburettor for 82
PS (60 kW; 81 hp) at 6000 rpm. Unlike the re-deployed
101-series Giulietta engine of the austerity-model 1300,
the 1300 ti motor was a 105 series engine, basically
that of the sportier GT1300 Junior coupe with dierent
camshaft timing (but the same camshafts) and induction
system. Five-speed gearbox. Three-spoke bakelite steering wheel with plastic horn push covering the centre and
spokes. Dashboard initially with strip speedo like that of
the TI. For 1968, updates included a dashboard based on
that of the Super, but with a simpler instrument binnacle, still featuring two large round instruments (speedo
and tacho) and a separate fuel gauge, and the same suspension, wheel and tire updates applied to the Giulia Super in the same year. For 1970, updates included dualcircuit brakes, centre handbrake, larger external doorhandles and top-hinged pedals (on left hand drive cars only),
again as applied to the Super for that year.

1.6 Giulia 1600 S

Tipo 105.85 was basically a Giulia TI re-introduced in
1968 as a lower-level model to come between the 1300
and 1300 ti on one hand, and the Super on the other. It
had a re-interpretation of the 1,570 cc single-carburettor
engine for 95 PS (70 kW; 94 hp) at 5500 rpm and similar
trim to the 1300 ti. Replaced in 1970 by the 1300 Super
(see below) which oered similar performance in a lower
tax bracket. The last cars from 1970 featured the tophinged pedals, centre handbrake and dual-circuit brakes
