aluminium 2.9-litre V6 Bi-Turbo
petrol engine, developed with
inputs and engineering know-how
from Ferrari technologies. It

driving pleasure and safety in all
situations. In normal conditions,
the Q4 system transfers 100

grip limit, the system transmits up
to 50 percent of the torque to the
front axle in real time, by means of
a transfer case.
The Stelvio Quadrifoglio holds

segment: with a kerb weight of
1,830kg, the model boasts the
best power to weight ratio in its
category at 3.6 hp/kg and the best
power density at 176 hp/l. The
power-to-weight ratio was
delivered with the aid of ultra-
lightweight materials such as
carbon fibre for the driveshaft and
aluminium for the engine,
suspensions, brakes, doors,
wheel-arches and bonnet.
