Alfa Romeo Giulia TI

This boxy-looking family sedan hid slippery aerodynamics, a twin-cam engine and a five-speed gearbox worthy of a sports car.

The museum display identifies the car as a 1962 Giulia, but the Commons category also references TI Super. The image supports the first-series Giulia body and year display; it does not independently prove baseline TI trim, original launch brakes, market or restoration originality.

Auction-based estimated value

Research pending

A matching completed auction sale has not been verified for this exact year, body, trim, engine, transmission and market.

Joyride shows this gap instead of substituting an asking price, unsold bid or mismatched special vehicle.

A place in vehicle history

More than a set of wheels.

Alfa Romeo unveiled the Giulia TI at the Monza circuit on June 27, 1962. The new four-door sedan combined practical passenger space with an aluminum twin-cam engine, rear-wheel drive and five forward gears. Early cars had drum brakes; discs arrived after about 22,000 examples, so this page keeps the 1962 launch car separate from later Giulia Super and TI Super versions.

Look a little closer.

Alfa advertised the Giulia as being designed by the wind. Its square roof and chopped-off tail looked upright, but careful airflow work produced a drag coefficient around 0.34.

A sports-sedan recipe before the name was common

The Giulia put a responsive 1.6-litre twin-cam, five-speed transmission and independent front suspension into a useful four-door body. Alfa chose Monza for the launch to underline that this was a family car with a racing-minded character.

The first brakes matter

The museum specification notes that the first roughly 22,000 Giulias used drum brakes before servo-assisted discs were introduced. Calling every 1962 TI a disc-brake car would quietly mix two stages of production, so Joyride records the early launch specification here.
