1987–1989 Alfa Romeo 33 1.7 Quadrifoglio Verde Specs & Performance

The 1987–1989 Alfa Romeo 33 1.7 Quadrifoglio Verde captures an especially charismatic side of Alfa Romeo’s compact hatchback. Its naturally aspirated 1.7-liter boxer-four sits beneath the hood of a lightweight five-door body, while twin carburetors and a five-speed manual give the QV a distinctly old-school sporting character.

With 118 PS and 147 Nm, the front-wheel-drive 33 QV could reach 100 km/h in around 9 seconds and continue to 196 km/h. Its combination of a low-mounted flat-four, modest 910-kg curb weight, and straightforward mechanical layout made it an engaging alternative to more conventional hot hatches of the late 1980s. The Quadrifoglio Verde badge adds further significance, marking this as one of the sportier versions of the first-generation 33 facelift.
