NEW Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio - Giulia vs Stelvio on Road and Track | 4K

[@johnnyboy1586]

Its great that alfa has kept it original dash layout,so much nicer that the ugly i phone screens on other makes😊

[@PetrolPed]

I agree 👍

[@charlesclement383]

You journalist are the real reason Alfa Romeo doesn't do better in sales. You drive the cars,give them a good report then you go buy some other F-ing vehicle. Alfa and Maserati have that same issue. I own both,and really would never touch a Porsche.

[@simongl1985]

I agree but I will also take it further. They keep repeating the mantra that Alfas are not reliable even though they beat the germans in the jd power study here and in the US. So they keep on sowing the seeds of doubt and it is fucking so old, can we just move on. Also, the journalists dont report on all the audi and vw engine issues or dsg gearbox issues. They dont report the insane out of oil leaks, coolant leaks and plastic parts that fail on BMW models, go check the forums. It grates me!

[@MM-xr6tz]

I actually like the fact it's not got a massive screen. All you need is a speedo and rev counter. Bravo Alfa for keeping it old school. I'm off to buy one.

[@nikolaoslilis8032]

I only have the Veloce, but my oh my, it’s an awesome car. Old school feel, responsive and balanced and so great for proper road trips.

[@PetrolPed]

Nice 👌

[@jjchockey]

Best part about these cars is the steering and chassis and thankfully the base model is nearly identical to the QVs in that regard. Same steering rack and patended double wishbone suspension. Plus less weight over the nose.

[@mattbettany1174]

The critical difference between the quadrifoglio that Sivocci had on his 8C and the emblem today is that Ugo's was in a 4 pointed diamond, this signified the 4 Alfa Romeo racing drivers , Ascari , Masetti, Sivocci and Ferrari . When Sivocci got killed , the others took away the 4th corner in a mark of respect and cloverleaf was from then on presented in a delta (triangle)

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks 🙏🏻

[@nessuno5403]

The Quadrifoglio story you tell, Matt, is the romanticised version. In fact, Sivocci's family says he was not superstitious and the Quadrifoglio badge was shown (in different forms) to distinguish factory cars from those of privateers at times not linked with Sivocci's accident. This is the official story from the Alfa Romeo museum curators, but everyone else repeats the same marketing spin 😀

[@bathembufutshane1462]

Thanks Matt, I learned something today.

[@nessuno5403]

@@bathembufutshane1462 unfortunately, Matt's story is the romanticised marketing story. Alfa Romeo's museum curators and historians cannot confirm why the Quadrifoglio went from being in a tilted square, to a triangle. In fact, the Quadrifoglio first appeared to help distinguish Alfa Romeo's team racing cars from those of privateers during events. Sivocci's grandson also confirms Ugo was not superstitious and, best proof of all of the speculative link to this driver's death is that Alfa Romeo marketing did not use it until 1964. So, don't believe all that you read (especially if said by those just repeating the story they heard).

[@ianrobinson68]

You really are living the dream in 2024.

[@PetrolPed]

Yep 🙏🏻

[@stevestone4346]

I love the Giulia, such a beautiful looking thing. Such a soulful alternative to the increasingly ugly and ubiquitous Germans. I always thought that a detuned V6 would’ve been a nice addition to the range, for those of us with smaller pockets.

[@mynameIan]

Alfa have potentially made the attainable dream 2 car garage. Ideally, the Guilia would have an AWD option for our Canadian winters. What a beautiful, fun pair of vehicles.

[@TheRoybeasley]

I believe the Giulia QV is available with AWD in some markets (but not here in UK)

[@mynameIan]

@@TheRoybeasley The Quadrifoglio? It certainly is RWD only in North America. Never heard of it being AWD anywhere else.

[@TheRoybeasley]

@@mynameIan Sorry - my bad. I had seen references to Q4 versions in some markets and assumed (incorrectly) that this applied to the Quadrifoglio version. Apparently not.

[@mynameIan]

@@TheRoybeasley it’s a shame that is isn’t. It is really difficult to fight the SUV trend in North America. Very few AWD driver’s cars are left. I have two Mini JCWs which have now been cancelled or replaced by larger SUVs by Mini. We don’t get any BMW Touring models. We do get Audi is Avant format but only in hyper expensive RS formats. The future is bleak.

[@benpenagonzales6014]

Shame there’s so little options for the QV. What about a super lux pack and tan leather

[@nessuno5403]

Once upon a time, such a luxury spec would be sold by Alfa Romeo as a 'Quadrifoglio Oro' (gold) to distinguish it from the sporty 'Quadrifoglio Verde' (green). They have no imagination now.

[@SirRounded]

Big fan of the 2023 Giulia, hope this quadrifoglio is good too :D

[@Food_n_Driver365]

GQV all day! Nice drifts 💯 I love my GQV so much I’m about to hit 90k miles!

Thanks 🙏🏻

[@steveong4738]

Great video. Alfa Romeo lost to BMW and Mercedes in the last 40 years. I hope with their current and future range there is a great chance that it will dominate in the next 10 years and beyond! They are "mini Ferraris".

[@mynameIan]

Looking forward to watching this. Any Quadrifoglio in Montreal Green. Watching from just outside of Montreal.

[@1962gms]

I can't believe that I got my Guilia QV in 2017! An immense car then and seems even better now. Alfa took us to Millbrook to play for a day which was great, but it was even better when I took her to a track day at Brands - nothing was anywhere near as much fun (unless in a Caterham!). I put Winter tyres on from mid Oct to early March and I think it makes a huge difference to handling and confidence in Winter months - R is also a nice setting... Great video.

[@PetrolPed]

Winters in winter is a good call 👍

[@DavidFisk-q8d]

I'm not a car I am an Alfa...as the ad goes. Looked like fun too. Cheers

[@tuckshermanlawrence3450]

Great video Pete! Prefer the purer great Giulia but it would have had far more success from launch ( against the m3) if it had had the following ingredients - a touring version for much better practicality and imagine the hype 6 years ahead of the bmw ! - a choice of colours for the inside (which bmw has) instead of the sad black only interior - a tuneful exhaust in all modes - and a 2/4 wheel drive system ( unlike bmw which gives you the choice) for family safety when daddy needs to drive sensibly… As the Stelvio great car but a SUV…

[@23Piccolina]

Pete, this sedan remains one of the finest sport sedans ever made! I have owned 2 Giulia's since 2017....however not the Quadrifoglio versions. Currently driving the 2.0 Stelvio. I prefer the Giulia model to the Stelvio, but wife wanted a SUV. Great review!

[@PetrolPed]

Couldn't agree more!

[@AndrewMcDonald]

Almost bought the Giulia a few years ago, but it was sedan vs conv and the drop-top won! Loved the Giulia though!

[@ipman3594]

Brilliant, what a car. I was considering the Giulia when I got the Stinger, but was slightly out of my price range and was worried about reliability as a daily driver. Super video, love it. Do you have the best job in the world lol 😊

[@nigelfisher3756]

Picking up a two years old Giulia Voloce next week; trading in a slightly older BMW 320. Can’t believe the driving experience and the ambience in the Alfa after a prolonged test drive. What have I been thinking about all these years? It bothers me not that the Beemer has a slightly better infotainment system, and the lower interior plastic isn’t quite as nice….big deal. The drive, the character; can’t wait.

[@PetrolPed]

Congrats 🥳

Great video, would love an Alfa but my drive isn't long enough 😮

[@johncreedon7847]

Nice video Ped. I have a 2019 qv. What a car it is. Have a fiammenghi H pipe on it and oem 2017 springs. The 18s and 19s had higher springs but the originals are way better. I remember watching one of your old QV review , it was one of those reviews that made me want to buy one. Had 3 M3s before the qv. The Alfa is a very special precise machine

[@jefferyharmon5290]

For the 2019 model year they went back to the same springs as the 2017s. Only the 2018s had the 4x4 springs. I ended up putting Altissimo GTA Performance springs and GMS caster/camber kit on my car, along with GTAm CDCM. It went from awesome to bonkers!

How do you rate the steering feel (and overall handling dynamic)of the Giulia with your Porsche?

[@PetrolPed]

Steering feel is on a par with any Supercar. Designed by the guy that did the Ferrari 458 👌 Handling is superb but my Porsche wins that one but not really a fair comparison. Front engined saloon vs mid engined roadster 😬

Enjoyed the video of both cars. The more videos I watch, the more the Alfa grabs me vs RS 5. I need a SUV for the back roads (gravel), and now the Stelvio is doing a good job of seducing me.

[@sevesellors2831]

A proper Alfa and not another suv. More saloons please and proper Alfas but I fear under Stellantis badge engineering will continue.

[@duckylucky6505]

I own a '22 QV. Alfa has been decontenting these since 2020 the high water mark for options. In 2020 you could option carbon ceramics, more colors and interior specs than any subsequent year. How is Alfa spinning that removing the e-diff on the '24 is an upgrade?
