Is the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio the ULTIMATE luxury PERFORMANCE sedan?

Thinking of getting the 2024 QV Alfa Romeo Daytona. I am Alfista i still own my 1976 Spider Veloce 188, 000 miles . I was considering a Corvette GS 2019 leading more towards the Alfa. My style is Italian dude, clothes, language etc. The Corvette down in Florida has that old retired dude vibe which i despise . The green QV with Ferrari engine rocks my soul!! Alfa is going electric 2025 so this QV is the last of the Mohegans. I am the man out of the serpent out of the box...Thank you Joe!!!!

Adding onto the emblem history: The original clovers were painted inside of a white square, but the racing driver was involved in an accident and died. They removed one of the corners of the square and converted it into a triangle as a memorial to the driver's death and a symbol to represent that Alfa Romeo lost a piece of their team.

[@AlokSomani]

A few notes that might be of interest to you Joe: - The seats do have memory settings, you can see the numbered memory buttons there at 9:42 - There's a carbon fiber upgrade for the steering wheel that makes it look and feel a whole lot more premium - In addition to the hood, the roof and trunk lid are also made of carbon fiber But great review!

Awesome to see this on Raiti's Rides! I'm a big fan of Alfa Romeo, and with this car you are basically getting a v6 version of a Ferrari developed twin-turbo v8 (F154) in a stunning beautiful sedan. I think one could really develop a connection to a car like this, and the community of Alfa owners. Cheers Joe!

[@Pondjumper1]

The white triangle with the cloverleaf was originally a square but when the driver died the Team cut a corner off the square and redesigned into a triangle.

[@LuisSoto-ho5fw]

It's interesting because the story I've heard is that each of the leaves represents one of the original drivers: Enzo Ferrari (yeah, that Ferrari), Giusieppe Campari, Alberto (I think) Ascari, and Hugo Sivocci. It was Sivocci that died, and you like you said, the diamond became a triangle. That's not to say that the other story is not true, both things could have happened.

[@Wolfson47]

I bought one in 2019 in Sept. Immediately put 6,000 miles on it in 8 weeks. Drove from Cleveland through Finger Lakes then down to DC. Then drove up through Hudson Valley, through Vermont, NH, into Maine for Fall colors, then to Boston, then down to Ft. Lauderale Florida. Since September purchase no issues of any kind. It's fantastic car. Very quiet and comfortable on road, suspension absorbs bumps like they aren't there. Put it into Dynamic or Race and it transforms into a road devouring monster. Never had a car that could be both luxury comfortable and when desired, full on race car. Very underrated car, Ferrari DNA all over it. Since it isn't selling well, dealers are offering ridiculous discounts to buy.

Raiti's Rides Hey Raiti I gotta ask you a favor if you would consider. First off we love your vids and effort you put in. And alot of your drives are exciting cars, and that's where my request comes in. And in all due respect so please don't be offended cause I do like watching your reviews. When you're driving and about to ' on throttle' and ready to hit the gas and make the engine roar, you get so excited you scream and raise your voice really loud out of excitement. But when you're hitting the throttle that's right when we want to hear the engine roar, but almost every single time you're screaming so loud we can't hear the engine. You're screaming over the sound of the engines at its most exciting point when it's revving up in the gears. It's a little frustrating when it's an awesome car and I'm ready to hear how powerful it'll sound, but only left trying to hear it through your voice screaming and most of the time I just can't. So if you would consider trying to calm your voice down just a little when hitting the throttle that would be great. And if not I understand cause the thrill of feeling the power is very exciting. But if you do I greatly appreciate it.Thanks man and keep up the great work.
