Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio - nordschleife lap record

impressive but i would rather have something a bit more interesting to drive like the Alfa T33/3

 

Or maybe this:

 

Yes i saw that. That is crazy. But yes too much conservatism in AC imo.

 

I have to think though with so much added weight through that wing if its worth it.

 

I'm thinking about having this as my next car, but dunno ...

yeah, looks like impressive car for sure!

looking at the ARCADE FOV in that video, I wonder why people say that cars are too slow when they play with correct FOV .. heh

looks fast and maybe fun, but it's not as fast in real life. Fastest I've ever driven car is 225 km/h, and it's not as fast as one might think from computer games

 

Great car doesn't describe it. I've always been an Alfista, but hey, I've seen the 70s Alfetta, Giulietta and 75 live when they were new. My old man wanted to buy a Giullietta back then but traded his Pug 504 in for a Volvo....Traumatic
(Nonetheless all were rwd, yippiayay! Volvo was my first driving lesson car so to speak back in 83/84 )

I've been testdriving an M4 for 3 days a few months ago and the surge and power is addictive, it's just a tad too big imho.
Same goes for Giulietta I guess. It's 3 series/C Class/A4 territory isn't it?
An acquaintance of mine has an M4 GTS(hairy, scary, overpowered racecar for the road are his words one of 6 or 7 in Holand) , and Giulietta should be almost as fast....(???)

And the pricetag incl taxes overhere....Maybe it'll be my next car, first enjoying my M2

Giulia , not Giulietta. The Giulietta is the lower segment FWD.
Anyway the Giulia seems to be faster than the normal M4 and slower than the extreme M4 GTS (probably this also uses better tires).

 

"...Im actually pretty sure that Alfa Romeo would been faster if it wasnt weight of drivers balls, that was slowing it down..."

 

Yeah I meant Giulia...typo.

I was having this Giulia fever too. Glad they took the title back from Panamera. Seeing how casual Fabio is, compared to the Porsche test driver (full racing suit), makes me wary and admire Italian attitude at the same time.

Went to Italy last September and saw this thing in black, near Roma Termini station. Of course it was not the QV one, but the Gold (Quadrifoglio d'Oro) one. Still amazing looking car. Good God! Driving this thing around Tuscan strada provinciale must be heaven. Good view, good looking car, and you.
