Alfa Gunning for the M3 with the 503hp Giulia sedan

[l0wb00st]

Say Hello To The Alfa Romeo Giulia: RWD, Saucy Curves And Up To 500bhp

the range-topping Quadrifoglio Verde model - pictured here - will have a 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 “inspired by Ferrari technologies” that packs 503bhp. Yep, Alfa doesn’t just want to gun for BMW’s 3-series, it’s going for the M3’s jugular.

The QV will weigh around 1500kg, thanks in part to its roof, bonnet and prop shaft being made from carbonfibre. It’ll do 0-62mph in just 3.9 seconds, have a 50/50 weight distribution, and feature snazzy technical bits to improve the handling like torque vectoring and an ‘Active Aero Splitter’.

That side profile screams BMW Or maybe Lexus...cant put my finger on it.

That front end looks really out of place on that car.

 

[l0wb00st]

The side profile definitely reminds me on the M3. I've always loved Alfa's styling, but I agree, something on the front end just doesn't look right

 

[RICH17]

Lots of BMW in the design but I think it looks great!

First thing that popped in my head was it looks like a cross between an Evo 10 and Taurus.

Dear Cadillac,

This is how.

Sincerely,

Everyone who isn't buying your cars.

 

[Angus]

Side profiles looks like Jaguar and Lexus had a baby.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

That's hawt™

 

[BS ISF]

meh. I like the side profile and the rear but man that grill, nope.

 

[Mike K]

It's an Alpha. It needs to have that grill.

 

[BS ISF]

I know that but that would be a deal breaker for me hence the meh.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I dig it.

Is AWD an option for that model? It said it was offered on this platform, but not this model specifically.

The first thing that came to mind with this is how quickly it would break down. I'd buy the BMW over this for reliability.

Said no one ever in the history of the entire world.

But yeah, I get what you're saying. Alpha's aren't renowned for their reliability are they?

 

[Lead Pipe]

New Avenger? Do it Dodge.

 

[YoushallgoFo]

just depends what you for. people who own bmw's will tell you if you dont get a lemon they're the most reliable cars ever made.

my thoughts exactly!

Alfa's actually do have a worse reliability reputation than BMW though

I'd rather take my chances with an Alfa turbo engine than a BMW turbo engine though. Just my opinion.

Can't get over that ugly grille. Even though its , it doesn't mean it needs to be that ugly

 

[Mook]

Lexus IF series and BMW wrapped in one confusing package. Maybe some Audi in the rear?

 

[SRT41320]

The white doesn't look that great, but the red is i saw the commercial this morning on alphas Facebook page... sounded fucking amazing!

 

[YoushallgoFo]

the alfa grille used this way reminds me of Edsels. Which you'd think designers would want to avoid.

 

[Mook]

After seeing this at the auto show (and completely forgetting it existed) I take any negatives I said back. The car is drop dead gorgeous, and sounds real good too.

 

[Bru]

Raunchy. I like.

C&D is thinking 75k for the top tier.
