[@johnbochicchio2806]

This is the first time I’ve seen this video ever though it was filmed seven years ago. I have a 2022 Giulia Veloce. Your description of the Giulia in the video as delicate is the way I think of the modern Giulia. I just never came up with the right word to describe it. It is the same with your observation about white cars! Really love your work!

[@stanB950]

I just found this video myself, too, and I am finding older videos more

[@BikesDrones]

Petrolicious and Jay Leno's Garage together. A match made in motoring heaven.

[@ericbrammer2245]

Until Trump deports Petrolicious...

[@Stuve715]

Why would Trump deport Petrolicious? Are they in the country illegally?

[@joeferst7364]

People who dislike Trump seem to not understand the difference between illegal and legal immigrants so they tend to make ignorant statements.

[@AB-pl1ko]

Why is it that some people always have to inject their (unwanted) politics into these threads? This channel is and has always about gearheads and their 'vices', not that sort of drivel.

[@ericbrammer2245]

Right, like 'an immigrant might've come here involuntarily', this from a former slave's great-grandson... And GOP spokesman. Having had my flight plans, within the US, as a free, WASP even, citizen, get delayed by hours, because I was travelling with someone moderately high-up in the Democratic Party's hierarchy , while Cheney/Bush were in power in the early 2000's... Nope, can't say that I am 'Ignorant', but YOU ARE! And, ya know, 'Johnson' isn't like, all that uncommon enough to raise a flag, unless... Yeah, so, this poor dude is in the video, better acquire more Leno-Like friends real quick, because, well, Trump isn't SANE like the "W" was... Dial 911, oh, wait, this phone has 11?!

[@jensenhealey907efi]

Driving on the freeway surrounded by all those SUVs is such a trip. It really highlights how small this car is compared to the huge things other people seem to feel the need to drive these days.

[@erichakanson7010]

I understand why some don'tike this car, alfa's can be an acquired taste, but if you "get it" you really get it. and I think this car is fascinating. beautiful car, beautiful sound, beautiful history.

[@matiasgleason2271]

Aki Ami Masen Centerline Alfa has you covered. They have most parts for any model.

[@jimmygrant3212]

Eric Hakanson lowest drag coefficient of any Alfa ever built

[@Innerspace100]

Older Italian cars, not just Alfas, were often beautiful to drive and some, like this one shown here, had looks that could melt just about anyone. But they were often riddled with problems. Especially the electrics were shoddy on them, allmost regardless of make and model. But worst of all were Lancias, I'd say. They would start to rust allmost before they left the showroom, and some models even had mechanical "quirks" that could be potentially lethal...

[@trashpanda314]

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of them but I can definitely see the appeal. The styling is just a bit awkward on their cars. I can't quite put my finger on it. The wheel wells perhaps? I dunno. They're by no means offensive to me, just not my cup of tea.

[@LuckyBaldwin777]

@@Innerspace100 If you think Jaeger electrics were bad you've never worked on a British car with Lucas electrics. The old joke around the shop back then was: Know why the British always drink warm beer? They all own Lucas refrigerators

[@swaroopfroyo]

18 min video felt like it was just 2 mins.. when i watch your show i dont realise how fast time passes... jay leno is still the king.

[@russelldobbins8893]

Yes he really enjoyed this one.

[@sergiogiacomosammartano7623]

Alfas are pure passion... and no logic at all. I owned an Alfa some years ago, it drove like heaven... but... man! lot of care and lot of little troubles here and there... I sold it 10 years ago... for a more economic car. Still I miss it every single time I sit into my new car. I'll probably buy an Alfa again next time... as a caprice, you know. Totally worth the little pains it gives you now and then... An Alfa is like your little, gorgeous chick: you have to constantly look after her... but what a pleasure you get back from her!

[@kevinforth7618]

Absolutely beautiful, and love that engine sound. A perfect example of how motoring doesn't have to be about 0-60 times.

[@indrajit1234]

Petrolicious don't just make car videos - they create art. Probably the best car channel on KZbin.

[@ZekaSpalcev]

+Aki Ami Masen That escalated quickly.

[@ronaldckrausejr7762]

Without looking just yet; hoping that it is in 4k.

[@JB91710]

Pet I LOVE them all but the Ferrari 512 BB in the glass garage was my fav.

[@SP-ut5wc]

Peter Giacobbi's Testarossa video is my all time favourite. Watching him fine tuning the engine with a screwdriver by listening to the sound is craftmanship at its finest. Especially thanks for this one, Mr Petrolicious.

[@lukStSerb]

JB91710 you mean in the living room.. yeah, that inspired me to add this feature to my dream house, only with a Testarossa in it!

[@reesepayton9984]

Amazing to find this coverage of the Alfa Romeo Giulia SS !!!! I owned a 1966 metallic silver gray , bought it in Sacramento, CA, in 1966 and drove it to San Antonio TX as I entered the Air Force Officer Training School, then up to Denver for specialist schooling at Lowry AFB for 9 months, then off to England with Air Force for 3 years, came back to the USA with it, to San Francisco for 3 years, then to Wash. D.C. where I eventually sold it. A great performing car, throaty Weber growls and such a beautiful design by Bertone! Loved its roadability and aerodynamic beauty! Thanks to my brother Ted in San Francisco for sending me this link by email!!!!

[@johndee5452]

How can so many beautiful designs come from one country.

[@mercoid]

John Dee ... it really IS the thing Italians are good at. Centuries of great art and design tradition. They suck at many other things like stable governments, warfare, letting their emotions get the better of them... but they sure can design stuff. ... Oh! And let's not forget the food!

[@watchman-pu7tp]

The exhaust note on this car is really awesome. I bet the owner never gets tired of hearing it.

[@carloduroni5629]

Not exhaust, but twin barrel carburettor. See my other post.

[@robertamoyaw8812]

This is definitely the most beautiful car I have ever seen. A perfect city car n one for the Canyons n Pacific Coast Hwy too. Bertone is my favorite car designer of all time too. Mr. Afshin is definitely the Ultimate Car Guy! Thank you, Sir!

[@PeredheI]

Two men responsible for the best video content about classic cars in the whole web - Jay and Afshin! Kudos to the owner, great car and AMAZING, AMAZING web - Petrolicious!

[@gollypo448]

I only watch Petrolicious on YT, but I'm a big fan of their production technique and the overall quality. True car-nut stuff.

[@StevenVanLoven]

Petrolicious & Jay Leno's garage in one car....the 2 best webchanels you can watch !! Lr Behnia has good taste...

[@MrDumptyTheDeadman]

That's a nice shot watching it go down the freeway with all the modern cars there for contrast.

[@AmericasChoice]

Sweet little Alfa.

[@travisolson9190]

I would never imagine my most favorite car would ever receive this spotlight. I thought it would be forgotten consigned to history books.

[@The90sGamingGuy]

This car is like three or four feet off the ground. Neat looking little sports car. Love this show and first saw it about four years ago while on vacation in Carlsbad, California and watch it when it comes on MSNNBC channel here in the U.S.

[@boson2916]

Needless to repeat what Leno had said about the beauty of this car, Franco Scaglione is another reason I admire this car, I am a fan of the legendary designer.

[@GPscuderia]

My daughter is named after this car. Gorgeous!

[@davidk8184]

WOW! What an attractive automobile!

[@brunonjezic6208]

One of my favorite cars. Beautiful seiko chronograph as well

[@christianaugustin7047]

Petrolicious is an awesome channel.

[@TheTwangKings]

Just when I thought I saw them all here's another terrific car.

[@bg19989]

Memories. I owned a 1966 from ~1970 to 1983. Drove it cross country and back in 1976 then restored it, then published as Retrospect car in Motor Trend Sept 1978. All steel except the hood on mine was aluminum. That vintage Alfa was pretty simple, reliable and a whole lot of fun on Mulholland Drive and Malibu Canyon. Thanks

[@reelreeler8778]

Gorgeous car...

[@sbsb4995]

The best episode

[@justinpino484]

beautiful car.

[@alfadoctor1]

Great to see the SS being highlighted in your garage. The car is so aerodynamic that even with the windows down there is very little air that gets in the car. The oil pan is a 3 piece affair with a baffle, oil cage at the oil pickup with 4 doors to keep the oil at the pump while cornering. The car has front disc brakes in the front. This and the 5 speed was standard with the car. This and many other SS cars are listed in the Sprint Specaile Register.

[@pagano126]

So beautiful, and that noise under acceleration!

[@bengom68]

Anthony Pagano , , it is sound , , not noise , ,

[@stanB950]

Love the clean look of the car

[@thepiuma]

The engine was a Giuseppe Busso project. He did the "bialbero" and the "v6 Busso" that alfa used pretty much in every car for 50 years. i think he was heavily involved in the making of the racing v8 they used on the various 33 racing car too.

[@sparky191]

[@jonnyspeed]

First time I've ever seen this car. What a beautiful piece of rolling artwork. I love performance, but I'm with Jay, just grab a chair and sit and stare at it. Then go for a drive and listen to that sweet engine breathe through those Webbers. Who care about performance with this car, just drive... And kudos on Petrolicious! I tried to explain my passion for cars to my wife and she didn't get it so I showed her some Petrolicious videos and she still doesn't get it, but now she knows it's not just me. LOL

[@tatsumasa75]

PETROLICIUS, best youtube channel ever.

[@stratonarrow]

Gorgeous car! It's reassuring to know that precious pieces of automotive history are being preserved so nicely. I very much prefer keeping things stock and original - to an extent. SUGGESTION FOR THESE VIDEOS: Part of enjoying cars, specifically old cars, is hearing them crank and start. It'd be awesome if you guys would start including a shot of the car starting up, even if the cold engine is grouchy or whatever. The ride-along shots are awesome, and including the motor starting would give us a bit more of the overall experience with driving the car. Anyone who's fired up a 427 Cobra Jet or the like knows that half of the experience is the ROAR of starting the thing. Food for thought!

[@1957powerwagon]

My father and i use to just sit and stare at our classic cars as well. My mother never got it.

[@dustyrusty7956]

Whadda beautiful car. The old Alfa's designs were top drawer.

[@kim007250]

This production was so Lenolicious

[@strangersound]

"So you really got into the Italian thing?" - LOL! :)

[@deezematz]

Literally!!!😂

[@Jorge-Tamacas]

I always liked the engine sound of the Alfa Romeo from the 60's and 70's, that twin cam engines fed with Weber carburators. Some Alfas in my country are used for vintage racing with the exhaust pipe coming out under the driver's door. Great engine sound. Nice and beautiful Alfa!

[@bretp21]

Afshin not only makes amazing videos of automotive storytelling, but he is also an incredibly nice guy is grateful for his website/channel's fans. Great to see two of my favorite channels collide.

[@freddellavalle4316]

I had the opportunity to drive a friend's 1300 Giulietta Sprint Speciale version from Livorno to Munich and back with my best friend and my girlfriend in 1971 or so. My girlfriend had to sit/lie in the little space in the back, she wasn't a baby monkey. I remember passing all the BMW 2002s in Germany on the autobahn, it was so fast.

[@SP-ut5wc]

What an exceptionnal piece of automotive art. Thanks Mr Leno. I wish i could like yours videos twice, or even ten times, because one doesn't feel enough. And congratulations to the owner Mr Behnia. I'm a big fan of your work on Petrolicious. It's nice to put a face on one of my favourite channel.

I bought one of these in North Wales when I was 15 in 1985. I saw the Day of the Jackal and wanted a Spider project to restore. A RHD 1965 Rudspeed converted car. All in bits with its interior missing. I paid £475 for it! I had it painted/re-chromed/re-trimmed and off I went. Those were the days! Footnote the same car made circa £100k a couple of years back at auction.

Super opportunity to be riding shotgun with Afshin .. originator of my favorite car review show,Petrolicious . It's the one car review that involves ZERO ego,extreme politeness, yet still covering car's from priceless-available to the every man . Filmed in high grade sound and visual,including stories of origin,often family ties stemming back generations.. so here in one car,you see the two premier auto presenter's .. Mr.J&Mr.A. What a treat !

Good Job, Jay and Afshin. Your channels are the best car content on You Tube!

[@chasewhite4458]

I feel like Jay has gotten better over the years doing this show on not interrupting the guests and dismissing everything they say. It makes it much easier to watch.

[@albertseabra9226]

A Fabulous car, another vehicle that Leonardo or Rafael might have designed. As a kid, growing up .in Portugal, I used to see quite a few. And some lucky owners raced them. Interesting, most of them were white vehicles. Thank you for this fabulous Video and congratulations to the pleasant and generous owner. Note: The Zagato was also an object of Art. And the 4 doors Giulia Super was a fantastic car. My older brother owned one. If driven in an agressive manner the gas mileage would suffer a little. Well, not mileage, in most countries resort to Kms. The metric system,based on multiples of Ten, is highly rational and easy to master. 1.000 Thanks

[@amberwark3267]

I can't believe more people haven't mentioned this. It's probably one of the sexiest exhaust notes I've heard, and from a 4 cylinder!

[@carloduroni5629]

@@zaraak323i Not the exhaust note. The typical throaty note of twin cams Alfa engines come from the twin barrel carburettors. In fact, when Alfa Romeo put fuel injection in them in the 90's, the classic Alfa sound disappeared.

my grandfather at the time this was in production had just started working as a designer for alfa. he always told me how during one of his first visits at the factory while he was talking to his boss casually leaned on the front bumper of an aluminum giulia ss and punched a hole through it with his elbow. it’s amazing how light these cars were and how car production worked back then
