ON YOUR REQUEST: Dry Alfa Romeo Giulia Nürburgring Lap

[@seventhson3228]

Wife calling in the middle of the lap, camera shutting down, yellow flags. Everything went wrong this lap, except Alfa. 🎉

Instead of the alfa bugging out its all the other aspects of the lap lol. In all fairness I love the alfa's I'm just scared of them.

[@drogenfeld]

keep in mind this car is partially Ferrari… so if it breaks you PAY.

[@lucylovitt9583]

​@@mgcharoudinMisha, I'm 67 and looking at my first (long overdue) Alfa and I'm SHOCKED by the numerous stories of extreme reliability across forums. Yes the JTS has problems and the 156 series suspension IS made from chocolate but otherwise extreme reliability.

[@lightenergyfractoid5675]

Car is literally my forever car. If it ever wears out, I'll get a new one. It does everything well. Carries the kid to daycare, the groceries, then destroys anything that tries to compete at a red light or in twisties. Also drop dead gorgeous. I think it may be the most perfect gas powered sedan of all time.

[@bhBlacky82]

sounds like you enjoy the car as much as i do as a daily driver. love my qv performante 2024

[@x22legitandrage]

Watched the wet lap an hour ago and wanted to see a dry lap so bad. The timing is crazy

[@Scheltokeeper]

The Giulia is such a nice car! Even the Veloce Q4 (4-cylinder, 2 liter 16V turbo, AWD) with 280hp is a blast to drive. So nimble and agile because of its excellend weight balance ratio. Pure emotion! Me and my wife bought a new MY22 Giulia Veloce Q4 in december last year and it's by far the best car we've ever had so far. The overall quality is suprisingly good. Misano blue, red brembo brake calipers... You fall in love every day and every trip is a pleasure! 🥰

[@northzealand]

u can for 2k USD give it 400hp... just another turbo. easy. plug´n play..

[@Creati_Xx]

@@northzealand you can?

[@heinedenmark]

Will rather have the Q2 version

[@Vision33r]

First time driving the Giulia QV, I hit 100mph in like 3 secs from a rolling start and it was insane. The amount of instant boost it has beats a lot cars with more power off the line. Plenty of Mustangs make this much power but they don't pull like this car does. This is a Ferrari with 4 doors.

[@Thot-Slayer-420]

enzo ferrari used to race alfa romeos

[@665Thunder]

it's not all about power... to develop this car they indeed borrowed people from Ferrari. The engine itself is derived from a Ferrari California v8. Suspensions, weight distribution, fast steering, light drivetrain, and most of all lack of weight are the advantages of this car. Infact, unlike the heavier German rivals, it doesn't need to be as stiff, meaning it's a more pleasant daily driver (even on 19 rims). Too bad this will be the last of its kind before Alfa will have to go electric

[@Thot-Slayer-420]

@@665Thunder which means owning one will be special as it becomes a time capsule

[@AlokSomani]

I sometimes wish I bought the QV instead of the 4 cylinder. $25k difference seemed bigger at the time though.

[@Scheltokeeper]

@@AlokSomani Same here! We bought a new MY22 Giulia Veloce Q4 (280 hp / AWD) in december last year. The car is just awesome in almost every aspect and the 280 horses are more than enough for a daily driver, but from time to time i say to my wife "Honey... we should have taken the Quadrifoglio!" 🤣

[@alejandroflores2879]

I bought a second Giulia QV in the past 5 years. First one was a lease 2017 and then I bought a 2023. this is the Best car ever developed. no car ticks so many boxes at the same time. Period!!!

[@RDSAlphard]

I believe that's the Lynk & Co 03 Plus, I believe they shipped it to Nurburgring to do 100 laps. Amazing car, honestly. And they did do EV but not everything they sell are EV, and they also sell EV as Zeekr now.

[@garymcbrearty5845]

Famous last words, "The traffic is being good today" as they all perfectly get out of the way, then on cue straight into a queue on the road with a whole host of cars. At least Alfa's are still in the business of making pretty performance cars, I hope they are always gonna be a "bit special" and remain a niche machine, not a mass market common mans item because even as a biker Alfas make me smile when I see one.

[@krazed0451]

I would have had no appreciation for Alpha if an old housemate didn't have an Alfa Sud that I was allowed to drive. One of the best drivers cars I've been in, to this day. They definitely fly under the radar!

[@NoDoSwLa]

The car is so silent and runs so smooth. But when you look at the speedo, over 260 km/H at Schwedenkreuz or 250 Fuchsröhre, you see how fast it is!

[@blcksphhreE90]

Very fast car, it was the fastest 4 door on the Nürburgring when came out in 2016.

[@shhhdontshout]

Not to mention they did the record without rollcage added on (for safety but also improve stiffness) like a most manufacturer did.

[@John_Conner222]

MUCH Better. Glad we got to see this. Thank you for doing it again. Its amazing how powerful it is with some of the top cars you have driven but its a 4 door and its pretty quiet.

[@jamesaron1967]

The exhaust note isn't that quiet to me, but if you want more there's a resonator delete available and it's pretty cheap.

[@TheVeenmeister]

See... the tires actually did hold up soooo much better now. The Good Years weren't near the temps needed to deliver some grip on the wet run. Nice to know.. the revised Giulia Q has a ZF plate LSD installed. The one in this Giulia is the electronically torque vectoring diff with two clutches. It overheated quite quickly and became very grabby or opened up fully. With the ZF that should be solved.

[@danielanthony6141]

9:36 FYI, that is a Link&Co 03+ Cyan edition, a team ship it over for their 100 laps Nurburgring challenge. I believe the car is mostly stock, (including the spolier), or with minimun mods. Link&Co manufacture mostly petrol cars and some hybirds.

I wonder how that tuned white BMW M3 would perform against this true italian stallion on dry track and Misha should make another lap test. Misha is phenomenal but there was a lot of traffic jam and road works plus various GOPRO failures. The Giulia Quadrifoglio is a really fun, stiff, fast car which I have had the opportunity of three laps test on a racetrack in Italy. That ZF transmission is a true masterpiece.

He did do a lap in a 4C....only thing he complained about was he lack of power steering made him work harder ;-) I know of a few 4Cs with mods that are very quick especially in cornering and braking. Mine is mostly stock with very minor upgrades. By far it is the most fun car I have ever owned.... and I have owned ALFAs before including a 1969 spider that was heavily modified.... bought that one new and kept it for over 40 years. If I had the garage space I would still have it in addition to my 4C LE. Also owned a 67 ALFA GTV SCCA race car for two years. You aren't a car geek until you have owned an ALFA.
