A diva enchants with gifted abilities, but can also be eccentric. Even three years after its resurrection, the Giulia from Alfa Romeo seduces with its optical charms that were not touched in Turin for the new model year. With up to 510 hp, three additional equipment variants, 19-inch alloy wheels and new technology, the well-proportioned beauty with the opulent front is supposed to steal the show from the German competition in Munich and Stuttgart.
The Giulia is now available only with eight-speed automatic
All offered three gasoline and three diesel engines of the four-door sport sedan, which builds on the rear-wheel drive platform "Giorgio" and which is only offered with an eight-speed automatic, already meet the emission standard Euro 6D-Temp. The performance of the two entry-level variants of the 2,2-liter four-cylinder turbo diesel have raised the Italians to 10 PS on 160 PS and 190 PS. Even sportier is now in the Giulia Veloce Ti to the cause, under the bonnet either a turbo gasoline engine with 280 PS or a 210 PS strong diesel to choose from.
The largely black interior is tidy and decorated with carbon applications.
Limited special models ensure a rare appearance of the chosen ones
If that's not enough, take the Giulia Quadrifoglio with a 2,9 liter V6 Bi Turbo and 510 PS to the Chosen, driving with it in 3,9 seconds up to Tempo 100 km / h and further up to 307 km / h fast. If he does not want to share his sweetheart with too many, he can be sure with the new limited edition Quadrifoglio NRing at the price of 122.000 Euro that the beauty with matt gray special paint, Sparco carbon fiber shell seats, a brake system with carbon ceramic discs, an Alcantara sports steering wheel, carbon fiber shift knob and red start button in the steering wheel only 108 is traveling around the world. With the name Alfa Romeo celebrates not only the time of 7,32 seconds, with which a Giulia Quadrifoglio rounded the Nürburgring, but also the return to the Formula 1 this year.
Package solutions also offer price advantages for commercial customers
The cheapest Giulia is at 37 euros and is now available in a total of eight standard configurations. Alfa Romeo offers commercial customers price advantages with the Business and Lusso variants through package solutions, and private customers the particularly sporty B-Tech line. In terms of driving dynamics, the Giulia sets itself in the limelight in the Veloce Ti version, which is always equipped with all-wheel drive, the potential of which is further increased by the active wheel suspension "Alfa Active Suspension" and the mechanical locking differential. With the 000 hp turbo gasoline engine and a sprint time of 280 seconds from 5,2 to 0 km / h, you are legally nice and fast outside the race track on the local routes around Munich, which are already mostly speed-limited. The price for a long-term rendezvous with the Italian diva in a Veloce Ti dress, who hides her start button bitchily until, of course, it is found: from 100 euros.
