Giulia Quadrifoglio
Bearing the iconic Quadrifoglio badge, the all-new Giulia Quadrifoglio embodies the essence of Alfa Romeo's motorsport legacy.
The beating heart of this ultra-high-performance sedan is an all-aluminum direct-injection 2.9-liter bi-turbo V-6 engine,
delivering a best-in-class 505 horsepower, as well as earning the title of the most powerful Alfa Romeo production car engine
ever and the quickest with a class-leading 0-60 miles per hour (mph) acceleration in 3.8 seconds. Combined with an 8-speed
automatic with column-mounted paddle shifters, which shifts in less than 100 milliseconds, the culmination of these performance
attributes is a record-setting time at the Nürburgring of 7:32, making the Giulia the fastest four-door production sedan in the
world.
The Giulia Quadrifoglio achieves these unprecedented figures with exclusive enhancements for ultimate performance. The carbon
fiber hood, roof, rocker panel moldings, rear deck-lid spoiler, and segment-exclusive drive shaft and active aero front splitter
combine with aluminum body components for maximum weight savings. The 2.9-liter bi-turbo V-6 supplies its 505 horses to the
19-inch staggered aluminum wheels (19 x 8.5-inch front and 19 x 10-inch rear), wrapped with Pirelli P Zero Corsa three-season
high-performance tires, through a torque vectoring differential, for increased performance in every corner and on every straight
away.
Harnessing the immense power of the Giulia Quadrifoglio is a high-performance brake-by-wire Integrated Brake System with
Brembo six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers. Available ultra-high-performance Brembo carbon-ceramic material (CCM)
brakes deliver a 50-percent weight reduction while enabling 60-0 mph stopping performance in an impressive 102 feet.
The performance of the Giulia Quadrifoglio is foreshadowed by its uniquely elegant, yet aggressive, sense of Italian style.
High-performance front and rear fascias exude the Giulia Quadrifoglio's confidence, backed by over 105 years of Alfa Romeo
legacy. Flanking the iconic "Trilobe" grille, bi-xenon headlamps with auto-leveling technology stare in the face of the
competition. Sculpted, athletic lines and a powerful stance make the Giulia Quadrifoglio as pleasing to look at as it is to
drive.
Inside, the Giulia Quadrifoglio includes performance front leather and Alcantara® seats, featuring 14-way power, including
4-way lumbar and power bolsters and front adjustable thigh support. Ultra-lightweight carbon fiber Sparco® racing seats are also
available to provide maximum lateral support during extreme cornering. Further interior features include Quadrifoglio-exclusive
leather-wrapped steering wheel with column-mounted aluminum paddle shifters, leather-wrapped instrument panel with accent
stitching and genuine carbon fiber interior accents.
Other advanced technology features unique to the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio include the four-mode Alfa DNA Pro Drive
Mode Selector that adds Race mode, Quadrifoglio-tuned adaptive suspension, Quadrifoglio instrument cluster with 200 mph
speedometer and engine cylinder deactivation system.
Other standard Quadrifoglio features include 3D Navigation, Blind-spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path detection.
Ultra-high performance options further optimize the lightweight design and track-proven capabilities of Giulia
Quadrifoglio:
- Ultra-lightweight carbon fiber Sparco racing seats provide maximum lateral support during extreme cornering thanks to
more aggressive bolstering, and are designed to be the lightest in the segment, while providing comfort for long road
trips
- Ultra-high-performance Brembo CCM brake system features six-piston front and four-piston rear aluminum monoblock front
brake calipers with two-piece 15.4-inch (390 mm) front and 14.2-inch (360 mm) rear CCM rotors. The CCM rotor design delivers a
50-percent weight reduction compared to cast iron discs, further reducing unsprung mass to improve handling, while enabling a
60-0 mph stopping performance in an impressive 102 feet
