Alfa Romeo Guilia QV Joins Italian Police Fleet – Video
The Alfas will join the Arma dei Carabinieri in Rome and Milan to primarily provide rapid response and deliver essential emergency services. Only a select few Carabinieri will have the opportunity to drive these cars and only after having completed a special driving course taught by Alfa Romeo instructors.
The Alfas keep the same stock setup as the regular production Giulia QV, which doesn’t come to as a surprise since it’s powered by a 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine pumping out 510PS (503hp) for a 0-100km/h (62mph) time of just 3.9 seconds, but they do gain specific equipment for police use ranging from the roof-mounted LED strobes to the cameras and tablets inside.
FCA has an agreement with Italian police authorities to deliver around 800 cars over the course of 2016, including a number of Alfa Romeo Giuliettas, Jeep Renegades and Fiat Panda 4x4s.
