Therefore, this historic saloon became a true icon of the Italian house, not only in Italy, but globally. The first model of Giulia, the version of TI (Turismo Internazionale), was fitted with the 1.6 engine from 92 hp, mated to a five-speed gear (a rarity at the time). Later was produced the super TI, Giulia 1,300, and the New Super Car, before going out of production in 1977.
