@aliyousuf23422 жыл бұрын
Not to brag but I have one and daily it in Texas. It's thirsty, temperamental, delicate, and my hands down favorite car I've ever owned. Yes it's annoying that I have to slow to a crawl at many intersections to avoid bottoming out, it may or may not have eaten a fuel injector at 2000 miles on the clock, and the tires disintegrate if it's below 50ºF, but somehow the faults are charming. Jeremy Clarkson has always said that a car has to have human flaws to be loved, and I get it now. I desperately hope it doesn't take Alfa Romeo another 20 years to make another super sedan. I've driven BMW's for years. I'm not sure I can ever go back. p.s. the tire thing is not a joke. Pirelli themselves say on their website to never expose the tires to subfreezing weather. I lost both rear tires as a result of not having power for a week during the 2021 icepocalypse here. Spent more on replacing the tires than I did on fixing my pipes.

There are so many tuning mods available for the standard Quadrifoglio that it’s hard to believe the sum total of the upgrades total an extra £80k! Carbon wide body kit will be available soon, and easy ‘stage 1’ map to 600bhp+ for the standard cars. It’s purely the ‘limited edition’ premium that you’re paying for here and that’s sad because most of the 500 will not be used for the purposes they were intended. Keep up the great work. Nice blend of PTC and montages. I’m trying to live up to your high standards on my own channel @BackRoadHero. Ps my own QV is available any time you wish if you want to compare it with the F-type R.

The M3 GTS was £115,000 in 2011 which is £140,000 when adjusted for 2021 inflation. At the time, it was criticized for being 200% an M3 cost. I think if this fell somewhere in between - say, £110,000 you could make a case for it and Alfa Romeo may not have had to limit it to such a small production run. However, they did, which makes me think this was never meant for regular Alfa Romeo customers and was always intended for the world’s 1% so they can ‘add to their collections’ and never be driven. A shame really.

"Is it worth paying the extra?" Yes, it is. When it comes to Alfa Romeo, you buy an experience. I have an Alfa Romeo GT from 2006 with the 2.0 JTS engine, red (Alfa Rosso 130 B/B) with the lion yellow leather interior. I actually got it for free as a graduation gift in 2017 from my parents as it's my dream car and have been since 2007 when I fell in love with it at a car fair. I remember 10 year old me, behind the wheel at that fair, saying, "I will have this in the future". But I could actually have had paid for it, no problem. It's a feeling to sit behind the wheel of an Alfa Romeo. You don't buy one because you want a practical car, you buy one for the passion of it and the smile on your face. And I would more than likely pay that extra for a GTA. GTAm is overkill and only have two seats. So the GTAm is a no for me. We have similar roads here in Sweden, but it's in the Swedish forest instead of a mountain top. Cheers from Sweden!

Great Video! Making me miss Italy too! I learned how to drive in an old Alfetta 1.8 and my first car was a GTV (we're talking back in the 80's here), so I've always had a love for Alfas. An acquaintance is thinking about selling his 4C Launch Edition, and after watching this video, I'm thinking about rekindling my Alfa relationship! The GTA appears to be an AWESOME car - and one we won't get here in the States. But based on the price in the UK, it seems it would have been north of $200k, had we gotten it here. As much as I love Alfas, that would just be too much for me. There are too many other great cars available at that price point. But what a stunner it is, and what a soundtrack! All captures in the typical awesome Sam style!

The Giulia was comfortable and refined on the boring roads but agile and fun on twisties. A great balance. The GR let’s you know it’s something special on any road. It’s firm and noisy.
