2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio

It’s good to see that Alfa Romeo is trying to make a come back! When Alfa Romeo introduced the Guilia, it instantly became known as an excellent executive saloon. Now, the 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is simply the much better version of the Guilia. With 503 bhp on tap, you can enjoy a ride that can easily reach 191mph thanks to its turbocharged 2.9-litre V6 petrol engine. It can even outrun a BMW M3 and a Mercedes-AMG C 63 on a straight line with its 0-60mph acceleration of just 3.9 seconds.

To make it more interesting, the Quadrifoglio offers a couple of driving modes. Natural or Advanced Efficiency gives a smooth driving experience. Switch to Race Mode and the car’s eight-speed auto transmission will come alive! (You can even snap it more if you use the big paddles to change manually).

The steering is quick and precise. You can even force the car into a corner with full confidence. As its front tires grips, you can be very confident that the rear end will do its part when going deep into a corner thanks to a clever diff on the rear axle. You can also steer the car on the rear if you want, but one thing is for sure, the Quadrifoglio is a grippy, tenacious. Although the brakes lack a bit of feel, you can never doubt the capability of its optional carbon ceramic brakes.

Fast and agile, the Quadrifoglio also manages to give you a sporty feel thanks to its interior. The only negative about the interior is its switchgear that feels very cheap and not appropriate for a car like this.

As standard, you get nice options which include xenon lights, cruise control, sat nav, leather and Alcantara seats and Bluetooth, as well as automatic city braking technology and pedestrian detection.

Pricing starts at $73, 595 for the standard 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio.

Today, the all-new Giulia and Giulia Ti are the resulting product of over 105 years of Alfa Romeo history, innovation and experience, all combined to deliver a class-leading driving machine with unmistakable Italian style.

The all-new 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia and Giulia Ti radiate this Italian style, craftsmanship and performance through a comprehensive list of standard features, which include an all-new, all-aluminum 2.0-liter direct injection turbocharged and intercooled engine delivering a class-leading standard 280 horsepower and 306 lb. ft. of torque, DNA Mode featuring Dynamic, Natural and Advanced Efficiency modes, 8-speed automatic transmission, class-exclusive carbon fiber driveshaft, dual exhaust with bright tips, 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS, Electronic Stability Control and eight airbags.

Giulia Quadrifoglio
Bearing the iconic Quadrifoglio badge, the all-new Giulia Quadrifoglio embodies the essence of Alfa Romeo’s motorsport legacy. The beating heart of this ultra-high-performance sedan is an all-aluminum direct-injection 2.9-liter bi-turbo V-6 engine, delivering a best-in-class 505 horsepower, as well as earning the title of the most powerful Alfa Romeo production car engine ever and the quickest with a class-leading 0-60 miles per hour (mph) acceleration in 3.8 seconds. Combined with an 8-speed automatic with column-mounted paddle shifters, which shifts in less than 100 milliseconds, the culmination of these performance attributes is a record-setting time at the Nürburgring of 7:32, making the Giulia the fastest four-door production sedan in the world.

The Giulia Quadrifoglio achieves these unprecedented figures with exclusive enhancements for ultimate performance. The carbon fiber hood, roof, rocker panel moldings, rear deck-lid spoiler, and segment-exclusive drive shaft and active aero front splitter combine with aluminum body components for maximum weight savings. The 2.9-liter bi-turbo V-6 supplies its 505 horses to the 19-inch staggered aluminum wheels (19 x 8.5-inch front and 19 x 10-inch rear), wrapped with Pirelli P Zero Corsa three-season high-performance tires, through a torque vectoring differential, for increased performance in every corner and on every straight away.

Harnessing the immense power of the Giulia Quadrifoglio is a high-performance brake-by-wire Integrated Brake System with Brembo six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers. Available ultra-high-performance Brembo carbon-ceramic material (CCM) brakes deliver a 50-percent weight reduction while enabling 60-0 mph stopping performance in an impressive 102 feet.

The performance of the Giulia Quadrifoglio is foreshadowed by its uniquely elegant, yet aggressive, sense of Italian style. High-performance front and rear fascias exude the Giulia Quadrifoglio’s confidence, backed by over 105 years of Alfa Romeo legacy. Flanking the iconic “Trilobe” grille, bi-xenon headlamps with auto-leveling technology stare in the face of the competition. Sculpted, athletic lines and a powerful stance make the Giulia Quadrifoglio as pleasing to look at as it is to drive.

Inside, the Giulia Quadrifoglio includes performance front leather and Alcantara® seats, featuring 14-way power, including 4-way lumbar and power bolsters and front adjustable thigh support. Ultra-lightweight carbon fiber Sparco® racing seats are also available to provide maximum lateral support during extreme cornering. Further interior features include Quadrifoglio-exclusive leather-wrapped steering wheel with column-mounted aluminum paddle shifters, leather-wrapped instrument panel with accent stitching and genuine carbon fiber interior accents.

Other advanced technology features unique to the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio include the four-mode Alfa DNA Pro Drive Mode Selector that adds Race mode, Quadrifoglio-tuned adaptive suspension, Quadrifoglio instrument cluster with 200 mph speedometer and engine cylinder deactivation system.

Other standard Quadrifoglio features include 3D Navigation, Blind-spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path detection.

Ultra-high performance options further optimize the lightweight design and track-proven capabilities of Giulia Quadrifoglio:

Ultra-lightweight carbon fiber Sparco racing seats provide maximum lateral support during extreme cornering thanks to more aggressive bolstering, and are designed to be the lightest in the segment, while providing comfort for long road trips
Ultra-high-performance Brembo CCM brake system features six-piston front and four-piston rear aluminum monoblock front brake calipers with two-piece 15.4-inch (390 mm) front and 14.2-inch (360 mm) rear CCM rotors. The CCM rotor design delivers a 50-percent weight reduction compared to cast iron discs, further reducing unsprung mass to improve handling, while enabling a 60-0 mph stopping performance in an impressive 102 feet
