2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Review – Video

 

Auto Trader gets their hands on the hottest 503bhp version of the new Alfa Romeo Giulia saloon on an empty Italian test track, to find out if it really can live up to the hype. Still, with a 2.9-litre Ferrari-Inspired V6, lightweight rear-drive chassis and stunning design, things are looking good.

Exclusive to the Quadrifoglio version, this is a unique engine in terms of technology and performance, destined to become the new benchmark of the brand. Inspired by Ferrari technology and technical skills, the V6 BiTurbo petrol engine is entirely made of aluminium – to minimise the car’s absolute weight, especially on the front axle – and it delivers 510 HP and a torque in excess of 600 Nm, for exhilarating performance: top speed of 307 km/h, acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in only 3.9 seconds and a maximum torque of 600 Nm. Among other things, although the horsepower and torque values are exceptional, the 510 HP 2.9-litre V6 BiTurbo petrol engine is also best in class in terms of emission levels (198 g/km of CO2 with 6-speed manual gearbox) and it is surprisingly efficient in its consumption levels, thanks to the electronically-controlled cylinder disabling system.
