Alfa Romeo has finally begun to show us some of the substance behind its much-hyped revival plan. This is the Giulia Quadrifoglio, the top-end version of the new BMW 3-Series rival. They haven't said much about the spec, but what they have said is pretty striking.

How about 503bhp for a start? Such M3-beating power is courtesy of a 'Ferrari-inspired' 3.0 V6 with two turbos for power and cylinder activation to improve economy when going more gently.

They did rev the motor for us, and it sounds absolutely amazing, gutteral and hard-edged and yet sweet. The 0-62 time, they say, is 3.9 seconds. That's seriously quick.

What a BEAUTY!!!
 
Alfa the car you want to buy but your brain keeps telling you not to.
 
Absolutely LOVE it! I have always been an Alfisti at heart.

Driven 2 Alfa's so far in my life and loved them!

This being part of their revival plan.....WINNING!

+1. Also love them :)

Drove 5 Alfas in one weekend and bought a 156 V6 SW and absolutely love it!

Great that they are finally moving towards the right direction again
 
I have been waiting for this Giulia for over a year now when it was first mentioned and I'm super impressed!

With the Jaguar XE now also a viable option, the family saloon segment is a whole lot more interesting. For so long, 'ze Germans' have ruled the roost here, but the Brits and Italians are coming back fighting.

Bravo Alfa! I will definitely putting this on my options list when it comes time to upgrade.
 
And so Alfa Romeo put yet another car on the market that it's fanbase can't afford - just like the 4C, 8C.
 
Even used they are still pricey. I have been eyeing a Brera but they are still well above R100k. I suppose that is what dreams are for.

I think the other models in the range (four cylinder 1.4T & 1.8T petrol plants and the four cylinder and V6 diesel) will be more competitively priced. This car though, will be an eye-popping amount I'm sure.
