2025 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio

Our Take: Legitimate high-performance car. One of the best four-doors around.

Overview

The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio (often abbreviated as "QV" for "Quadrifoglio Verde," which means "green four-leaf clover") is a high-performance version of the Giulia sedan, produced by the Italian automaker Alfa Romeo. It was first unveiled in 2015 and represents a significant part of Alfa Romeo's revival plan, marking its return to the high-performance sedan market.

The Giulia QV is equipped with a 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine, which is based on a Ferrari design. This engine delivers an impressive 505 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque, allowing the car to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just about 3.8 seconds. The top speed is around 191 mph. The Giulia QV offers a dynamic driving experience with responsive handling, thanks to its rear-wheel drive (or available all-wheel drive in some markets) and well-tuned chassis.

The twin-turbo V6 engine receives much praise for its power and responsiveness. Its Ferrari-derived technology is a highlight, offering exhilarating acceleration and a thrilling exhaust note. Early models of the Giulia, including the QV, faced some criticism regarding reliability and build quality, although these issues have been addressed in later models. As for practicality, it offers a decent balance between performance and everyday usability.

Still going strong all these years, it is still the benchmark driver's car in this segment, even though its getting a bit long in the tooth in many other ways.

2025 Audi RS 6 Avant

Our Take: Potent and luxurious performance wagon

Overview

In 2021, Audi brought the RS 6 to America, making it the first RS wagon to come to this market. With the RS 6 being one of signature Audi Sport models in Europe, the Ingolstadt-based company did it all to make a grand entry. Probably the hottest performance-oriented station wagon on the market, the 2024 Audi RS 6 Avant sheds the conservative styling of the car it is based on, keeping in line with the high-performance estate concept.

Derived from the already-excellent Audi A6 Avant, this souped-up station wagon adds RS-specific bodywork and exclusive go-fast goodies. The Audi RS 6 Avant is a powerful car with a mild-hybrid powertrain. At the heart of the car is the twin-turbocharged 4.0L V8 engine putting out whopping 591 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque.

This of course translates to impressive results - the RS 6 Avant can sprint from 0-60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, on its way to an absolute top speed of 190 mph. New for 2025, we will get a number of updates, including the launch of the Avant GT, a $170k supercar for the family.

Overview

The RS 7 Sportback is what you get when you take the RS 6 Avant’s engine, then place it in a sleeker Audi Sportback frame. The resulting Audi RS 7 Sportback is an aggressive and beautiful car, with the specs to back up its appearance. This strikingly athletic, yet elegant, four-door sports car is a top-shelf blend of practicality and sublime performance.

The engine in question is a proven twin-turbocharged 4.0L V8 engine with a mild-hybrid system with a total power output of 591 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. Just like in the RS 6 wagon, it offers phenomenal performance, with a 0-60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, with a top speed of 190 mph if the electronic limit is lifted in Dynamic Plus package.

Despite its size, the RS7 demonstrates "precise steering" and "balanced handling," providing an engaging driving experience. Top Gear appreciates its "confidence-inspiring" cornering, while Motor Trend highlights its optional torque-vectoring rear differential for even sharper dynamics.
