A New Legend is Born
Etched into the mountainous, Northern Italian border, stands a rite of passage for those entering Italy by road. Forty-eight hairpin turns at 9,000 ft above sea level present a challenge only the bravest driver, equipped with the finest machine, would dare to conquer in order to reach the epicenter of automotive performance, design and style.
Inspired by the immensity and grandeur of the Stelvio Pass, the dreamers of Milan, engineers of Modena and artisans of Cassino have created the optimal vehicle for those demanding the highest level of performance and utility in equal measure.
This is Stelvio. An SUV only Italy could create.
