  • Alfa Romeo Giulia

    Alfa Romeo has officially unveiled the highly-anticipated Giulia.

    Described as "one of the most brilliant examples of automobile excellence," the range-topping Giulia Quadrifoglio features an aggressive front fascia with mesh grille inserts and an Active Aero Splitter which "actively manages downforce for higher performance and better grip even at high speed." The model also has slender headlights, a ventilated hood and front fender vents.

    Moving further back, we can see aerodynamic side skirts, prominent character lines and attractive alloy wheels that are backed up by a high-performance braking system. Other highlights include a trunk-mounted spoiler, a rear diffuser and a four-tailpipe exhaust system.

    Alfa Romeo declined to release interior photos but said the model will have a relatively small steering wheel and premium materials including wood and carbon fiber trim.

    Power is provided by a turbocharged six-cylinder engine that develops 510 PS (503 bhp / 375 kW) and enables the model to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds. Rear-wheel drive is standard, but all-wheel drive will be optional.

    Alfa Romeo was coy on additional information but confirmed the model has a 50/50 weight distribution as well as a carbon fiber hood, roof and propeller shaft. The model also has a number of aluminum components as well as a torque vectoring system and the "most direct steering on the market."

        Looks like the infiniti q50, which I like.

          If the interior isn't covered in plastic, it's a win.

          Looks awesome!

                More video action and shows the front active aero splitter in action!



                This video is in Italian but shows a real world view of the car (in white too!) and you get some more interior looks too!

                    Rear seats look like an afterthought.

                            Yes, it will debut in North America and rumor is that it's going against the M3. People are saying $90-110k but I'm saying 80-90k$ to capture market share quick at a loss to build brand recognition.

                            Then cash in and recoup losses at the lower trim levels with a 3-series/CLA killer.

                              Yes this is the top level car, Quadrifoglio, so it should be targeted at the M3/C63/RS4 audience. We are not sure on the lower trims yet but here are some spy pics of them as things are still in the works. Personally I think the car is gorgeous and if I was in this market I would be thinking about it a lot!
