Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio – performance and 0-60 time
Thanks to the use of of carbonfibre and aluminium the Quadrifoglio is reasonably light, and it can hit 62mph in less than four seconds
Even by today’s ludicrous standards of power, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio’s 513bhp (up from the 503bhp in pre-2024 cars) is impressive. But rather than relying solely on the engine’s grunt to produce some outstanding performance figures the Giulia has the advantage of a lighter kerb weight than rivals.
To keep weight down it uses a carbonfibre propshaft, bonnet, roof and front splitter. The subframes are made from aluminum, as is much of the engine. All these exotic materials result in a claimed dry weight of 1524kg – claimed kerb weight for the 2024 car is 1660kg.
As such, Alfa says the Giulia can accelerate from 0-62mph in 3.9sec and go onto a top speed of 191mph. It also says its supersaloon can lap the Nürburgring in 7:39sec. When we lapped it around Bedford Autodrome, we set a time of 1:23.6sec – the fastest saloon we have ever timed around the circuit.
