Two “made in Italy” jewels now in service for life-saving missions: Maserati and Alfa Romeo deliver supercars to the Carabinieri for the urgent transport of organs and blood
ROME – For the first time in the history of the Carabinieri, a Maserati model officially joins the service fleet wearing the institution’s colors. The new Maserati MCPURA will be used alongside the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio in medical emergency missions dedicated to the rapid transport of organs and blood.
The official handover ceremony took place on October 27, 2025, at the General Command of the Carabinieri in Rome, attended by Commander General Gen. C.A. Salvatore Luongo, Chief of Staff Gen. C.A. Andrea Taurelli Salimbeni, and Head of the IV Department “Logistical Support of the Forces” Gen. D. Antonio Di Stasio.

Supercars on a mission for life
The two new vehicles represent the pinnacle of Italian engineering applied to safety and efficiency in critical situations.
The Maserati MCPURA is the first Trident supercar to officially join the Carabinieri fleet. Equipped with a 630 hp twin-turbo V6 Nettuno engine, a carbon-fiber monocoque, and Formula 1-derived pre-chamber combustion technology, the model delivers extreme performance and reliability to swiftly reach hospitals and medical centers.
Alongside it, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio keeps a more than seventy-year tradition alive, featuring a 520 hp twin-turbo V6 engine, rear-wheel drive, and a sports suspension—customized with specific equipment to meet Carabinieri operational needs.
Italian tradition and innovation in public service
The partnership between Stellantis and the Carabinieri reinforces the historic link between Italian automotive excellence and institutional duty. While Maserati makes its debut, Alfa Romeo continues a long-standing relationship with the corps — from the iconic 1951 “Matta” to the 1960s Giulia and the modern “gazelles” that patrol Italian streets.
“What we celebrate today is more than a partnership: it’s a union of purpose in service to the community,” stated Commander General Salvatore Luongo. “The reliability of these vehicles is an essential tool for saving lives — and there is no nobler mission for an institution than that.”
Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa emphasized the company’s pride in contributing: “We are honored to provide the Carabinieri with two cars that embody the best of Italian technology and design. The Giulia Quadrifoglio and the MCPURA are not only symbols of performance and style but also concrete instruments to ensure speed and safety in vital missions.”
Speed and duty in the service of society
With the arrival of the Maserati MCPURA and Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, the Carabinieri strengthen their commitment to protecting life and ensuring public safety. Performance, innovation, and duty come together in a partnership that celebrates the best of Italy.
