It is really difficult to remain impartial in writing the test of the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, this car is so engaging that it transmits truly impressive driving emotions. An authentic four-door GT with a double personality. He could be defined as Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde: it has fun and is quiet in everyday use and completely transforms itself into sporty driving, offering breathtaking performance. Much of its appeal is due to the 2.9-liter V6 Bi-Turbo engine, developed by engineers from Ferrari. However, despite an actual output of 510 hp and rear-wheel drive, this is not an indomitable car. Traction is excellent, in any weather condition, the ride is always smooth and allows you to comfortably tackle long journeys,making the Giulia a high-performance car that can be used every day.

    The 2.9 V6 Bi-Turbo, made entirely of aluminum, releases a good 510 HP and 600 Nm of maximum torque at 2,500 rpm which allows it to reach a top speed of 307 km / h and accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in just 3.9 seconds.

During our test drive, driving between mixed city and suburban roads, we obtained fuel consumption appropriate to the car's performance, traveling just over 6 km with a liter of petrol.

Consumption that drops considerably in sporty driving.


    One of the features that most impressed us, besides of course the engine, was the road holding. Giulia Quadrifoglio has a truly exceptional weight distribution that allows the car to be glued to the asphalt making it brush curves without ever losing grip. Of course, everything changes when Race mode of the AlfaDna Pro selector is selected. In this mode the Giulia expresses the maximum of sportiness and it takes the so-called "handle" to tame it since, with the traction control devices deactivated, the power discharged on the rear wheels and managed by torque vectoring is really a lot and arrives instantly.In Race mode, even the rumble becomes more aggressive and engaging guaranteed by the new Akrapovič dual mode four-way exhaust system made of titanium with carbon tail ends. The 8-speed automatic gearbox is also calibrated to optimize fluidity, comfort and ease of driving in all areas of use, but it is in RACE mode that it expresses its full potential, with lightning-fast changes in just 150 milliseconds. Inside, the Giulia is equipped with high-containment sports seats in leather and Alcantara, which have always been original equipment on these versions. Sports seats with carbon shell by Sparco are also available.comfort and ease of driving in all areas of use, but it is in RACE mode that it expresses its full potential, with lightning changes in just 150 milliseconds.

Leaving intact the pleasure of sitting behind the wheel, these Adas intervene only to ensure maximum safety and increase comfort in heavy traffic and on longer journeys. These are the Lane Keeping Assist, the Active Blind Spot Assist, the Active Cruise Control, the Traffic Sign Recognition and Intelligent Speed ​​Control and the very useful Traffic Jam Assist and Highway Assist that also 'supervise' lateral driving, keeping the car at middle of the lane in heavy traffic conditions or on the motorway.
