mulligan2k Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Alfa Romeo has finally begun to show us some of the substance behind its much-hyped revival plan. This is the Giulia Quadrifoglio, the top-end version of the new BMW 3-Series rival. They haven't said much about the spec, but what they have said is pretty striking. How about 503bhp for a start? Such M3-beating power is courtesy of a 'Ferrari-inspired' 3.0 V6 with two turbos for power and cylinder activation to improve economy when going more gently. They did rev the motor for us, and it sounds absolutely amazing, gutteral and hard-edged and yet sweet. The 0-62 time, they say, is 3.9 seconds. That's seriously quick. link some pics: video: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian M. Veteran Posted June 26, 2015 Veteran Share Posted June 26, 2015 Utterly gorgeous. Almost looks like the 159 and the 4C had an angry lovechild. It's also nice to see Alfa return to the 3.0 v6. I'll openly admit I'm an Alfa fanboy, and I'm no stranger to the ups and downs of Alfa ownership, but damn.

mulligan2k Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 any opinions guys? personally i think it looks stunning, and that v6 sounds delightful as well. how well rest of the range will do remains to be seen though, its a tough market and i hear they want to sell as much as 60% of the bmw 3 series range sales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason S. Global Moderator Posted June 26, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted June 26, 2015 love the rear. hate the front. what's the price tag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian M. Veteran Posted June 26, 2015 Veteran Share Posted June 26, 2015 Prices are unannounced. I'd expect (for the normal models) for them to be in line with the old 159. The fast one I'd expect to be around the same price as an M3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouettus Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 That thing looks like Mr. Potatoe. Parts taken from here and there and put together. Not that it's ugly, but it lacks personnality. Let the flames rise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
