This booty shot of the 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia that we spotted on Twitter won’t exactly break the internet, but this is our first glimpse at the little Italian compact before its official debut Wednesday.

Someone snapped a photo at the Alfa factory museum outside Milan, where the international press will observe the company’s triumphant return to four-door sport sedans after the sultry 159 quit production in 2012. We can plainly see the official name is Giulia.
-The car you’re looking at here, despite a generous sampling of BMW M3, is the Quadrifoglio Verde, Alfa’s designation for its top performance models. The four leaf clover design dates to 1922 when Alfa driver Ugo Sivocci painted it on his P1 racer to banish his supposed bad luck. He won that year’s Targa Florio, although painful irony came a few months later when Sivocci, without the clover, was killed during the European Grand Prix.

We don’t know any other details yet, other than Giulia is certainly the name and big exhausts and phone-dial rims are part of its game. Expect to see this car on our shores late next year.
