Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio

ASAP · 09-17-2015, 03:23 PM

I think it could be a fantastic car but it must be priced competitively. Alfa has almost no name recognition here... pricing it higher than C63 guaranteed failure... and the M3 is still number one in value and badge recognition in the segment. I think the interior of the car is fantastic... if its reliable and priced right, it could be a winner. The exterior is't my style but it's still better than the turtle C63.

So true................and I've owned a number of Porsches in the past (inlcuding a 997 TT). Still like them but man, he alone, makes me want to bash the marques.

Formidable performance vs. the M4. Alfa styling is defiantly an acquired taste, and reliability in the past took a leap of faith.

Abobo face.

The Alfa is gonna be badass, I'll definitely give it a test drive and if they can get competitive on pricing and it drives like everyone says who know. Those numbers, that interior, exhaust note, and hydraulic steering... Shit, sign me up.

M3Fahrer · 09-17-2015, 05:57 PM

I would name my car Julia Giulia

ASAP · 09-17-2015, 06:01 PM

My opinion is that this car can't cost a dollar over 70K to be competitive in this market given the brand name and so forth... I have a hunch it will be much more expensive... as much as I like it, that will make it a sales disaster... 85-90k just won't cut it for a brand with 0 panache in the USA.

BULLSHIT!

I wouldn't put it past the italians to tip the scales by modding this test car to claim a better record (i.e. Ferrari esk test set-up - uprated tires, tuned different, etc). But heck, if someone can really replicate that, forget BMW, Lambo and McLaren apparently are asleep at the wheel as well : )

M4ymb · 09-17-2015, 06:42 PM

Just more beast than the M4.

Almost everything is the same on paper but the Alfa has more

HP
Tq
Top Speed

On the Nurburgring this does matter. Its not a better car just more car.

susuki1220 · 09-19-2015, 12:13 AM

Hmm.. i still think it looks like a mazda 3 from the back, but at this 7:39 time we won't even get to see the tail light, lol

Very cool looking car.
Why cant the M3 sound like that?
I hope its reliable.

///Mpossible · 11-18-2015, 08:26 AM

Starts at $70k, seems like a bargain for a +500hp M3 killer that can lap the ring in just 7.39min(this thing should be closer to M4 GTS with sport comp tires). There are two things that strike me even more then the price though, 35psi peak boost and a weight of just 3360lbs. Can't wait to see reviews of this car!!

The other press release said 7lbs per HP so at 505 that means 3535lbs which is still not bad!
The weight of most of these cars is getting nuts, anything around 3500lbs I'll take!

Maybe 3360lbs is the dry weight, in either case this car should be a real beast with this +500hp engine built in partnership with Ferrari.

Hawaii i8 · 11-18-2015, 06:11 PM

Is is just me or does this new Alfa bare a striking resemblance to the M3?

fusionchicken · 11-18-2015, 06:17 PM

Would definitely give this a test drive when it hits State side

Wonder how exhaust sounds IRL

boss2k · 11-18-2015, 06:18 PM

No way..M3 looks much better☺

AM4ZING · 11-18-2015, 06:23 PM

Looks more of a 16 C63 and 14 audi s4 rear combination with M4 style trunk spoiler

x.shell · 11-18-2015, 06:29 PM

I'm gonna be the hater for this car. I know Jalopnik has the horny's for this car, but I think it's butt ugly in every way. It looks like an Abobo from the Double Dragon video game and a bloated M3 gave birth to it.

W/// · 11-18-2015, 07:04 PM

I just cannot get over that front end. Looks horrible to me

The interior look amazing though, and that's where you spend most of the time!
