The 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio delivers
race-inspired performance, advanced technologies, seductive Italian style and
an exhilarating driving experience to the premium mid-size sedan segment. Built
in Italy, the Giulia Quadrifoglio Delivers Class-leading 505 Horsepower, 0-60
in 3.8 Seconds and a Record-setting 7:39 Nürburgring Lap Time – the Fastest
Ever by a Four-door Production Sedan.
Incorporating next-level technologies, the Giulia
Quadrifoglio features a Ferrari-derived 505-horsepower bi-turbo V-6 engine,
Alfa Romeo’s most powerful production car engine ever, cylinder deactivation
and carbon fiber active aero front splitter for improved handling at high
speeds. Race-inspired performance is achieved courtesy of the Giulia’s
extensive use of ultralight, high-strength materials, which include a carbon
fiber driveshaft, hood, roof and more – all for a best-in-class power-to-weight
ratio and near perfectly balanced 50/50 weight distribution, resulting in a
class-leading 0-60 miles per hour (mph) time of 3.8 seconds and a
record-setting Nürburgring time. And similar to all great Alfa Romeo vehicles,
the Giulia features stunning Italian design with impeccable proportions and
attention to detail that enables a timeless Alfa Romeo style with world-class
craftsmanship.
A Formula-1 inspired steering wheel features a
thick-rim profile that transmits the chassis’ direct-steering feel and neatly
groups the vehicle controls and the red engine start button. Behind the
steering wheel, the Giulia features a full-color 7-inch driver information
display (DID) cluster straddled by two large white-on-black face analog gauges.
At the center of the interior, Alfa Romeo Giulia’s
all-new 3-D Navigation offers an intuitive, yet sophisticated series of
features, including a high-resolution 8.8-inch widescreen display with
real-time vehicle performance pages and telemetry, plus 3-D graphic navigation.
A short-shift six-speed manual shifter elevates proudly in the center console,
while the all-new and ergonomically located Alfa Rotary Pad offers a gesture
recognition system, allowing the driver to interact with the 3-D Navigation
system simply by moving fingers on the pad.
