An exhilarating new thoroughbred is unveiled
The Giulia, the top-of-the-range model sporting the legendary Quadrifoglio badge, was introduced at the Alfa Romeo Museum in Arese near Milan.

Just sitting in the new Alfa Romeo is like entering a new dimension which centres around the driver, firing emotions and the promise of exhilarating driving experiences.
In particular, the proportions are based on the technical architecture of the entire car. For Alfa Romeo the key elements were the 50/50 weight balance and rear-wheel drive. In order to balance the weights perfectly, the engine and the mechanical parts are arranged between the two axles. This is why the Giulia has very short overhangs, a long bonnet and front wings, and a retracted passenger compartment. Furthermore, the rounded angles and the enveloping pillars convey momentum to the car creating a teardrop-shaped profile which is reminiscent of the Giulietta Sprint, one of the most beautiful cars ever made.
A second aspect of the Italian style is its simplicity which enshrouds what is in fact the most complex creative processes in industry: designing a car. Finally, Italian style is characterised by a high quality surface finish which means creating rich, harmonious reflections across the volumes.
State-of-the-art, innovative engines are another characterising element of a genuine Alfa Romeo. For this reason, a unique engine in terms of technology and performance, destined to become the new benchmark of the brand, has been created for the Quadrifoglio version.
The six-cylinder turbo petrol tuned by engineers with Ferrari background, delivers 380kW and exhilarating performance: for instance, it accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in only 3,9 seconds.
As a further expression of the Alfa Romeo engineering culture, the design, the build and the choice of materials of the chassis and the suspensions is always perfect. As a consequence, it was decided that electronics should only be used to make the driving experience guaranteed by excellent basic mechanicals even more exhilarating.
Together with an excellent Cx, a perfect balance of forces on corners and downforce behaviour, the new model has an active aero splitter, a front system which actively manages downforce for higher performance and better grip even at high speed.
The new Alfa Romeo Giulia also features a renewed Alfa DNA which modifies the car’s dynamic behaviour according to the driver’s selection: Dynamic, Natural, Advanced Efficient (energy efficiency mode implemented for the first time on an Alfa Romeo) and naturally, Racing (on high-performance versions).
The passenger compartment of the new car offers the best in terms of quality, safety, equipment and comfort with a specific, profoundly Alfa Romeo style element: the centrality of the driver.
Not by chance, all the main controls are incorporated in the steering wheel as on a Formula-1 car, while the human-machine interface consists of two simple, user-friendly knobs for adjusting the Alfa DNA selector and the infotainment system.
And now all alfisti’s cannot wait to get there hands on one of these.
