there's been an alfa romeo giulia shaped
hole waiting to be filled in the
American car market for what feels like
forever
a couple years ago after rejoin the US
car party with the flawed but hugely
entertaining foresee reigniting passions
after decades long absence but meeting
too little in the way of sales volume
that single offering acted only at each
for those wanting a properly practical
five-person sports sedan after a true to
Italy leisurely way the julia has
arrived the 2017 alfa romeo giulia put
some practical meat on the bone for
American drivers board of the usual audi
a4 / mercedes c-class / BMW 3-series
suspects
even better the new Italian mates at
band comes packed with some heavy
artillery the top quadri fontanilla
model offering 505 horsepower and
returning three-dot eight seconds 0 to
60 miles per hour run as well as a
shockingly quick nürburgring
nordschleife time of 7 32 which for the
record makes it the fastest
four-passenger production car around the
12 got nine mile circuit for context
that six seconds quicker than a
lamborghini gallardo LP 570-4
Superleggera into full 20 seconds faster
than a BMW m4 our first taste of the
highly-anticipated Julia brought us to
sonoma raceway in some local roads
nearby in California's wine country as
we approach the pack of cars warming and
pit lane there is further evidence that
the Jewish quadri fog neo is serious
it's ferrari derived to dot 9 meter to
inter both v6 sound snarly and sweet and
cars passing on track report raspy
exhaust coughs between shifts
when you go to get in there is a slight
chance of bumping your head on the
low-slung roof wouldn't be an Italian
car without an ergonomic cork right
the test car appears to be equipped with
the full gamut of options leather across
the dash carbon fiber trim breaking up
the bovine bits in Alcantara and
leather-covered steering wheel and the
standard eight-speed automatic the only
transmission option for us market Uli's
this is a distinctly Italian execution
with unique details like green and white
top stitching but there are also
splashes of conventional design
throughout including the analog pack and
speedo with a multi-function screen
position between them and a steering
wheel flanked by tom aluminum shift
paddles that are attached to the
compliment remain stationary a center
console mounted dial selects the drive
modes
d for dynamic and for natural paper
advanced efficiency and raise and a
button in its center lets you choose
suspension stiffness only a few details
disappoint like the hard plastic on the
inside of the center console plastic
this on the shifter and somewhat
loosey-goosey feel to the control wheel
used to navigate the multimedia menus
press the red engine start button on the
steering wheel and the pleasing from of
the twin turbocharged mill comes without
any artificial enhancement thank you
ferrari you'll need to pull the shifter
down to choose first gear tapping the
paddles does nothing while the car is in
park but once moving the julia feels
every bit like a sports car first and
disadvantaged second with a steering
ratio or 11.8 21 which outfit says is
the quickest in the industry the julia
turns instantly the pirellis are always
digging into pavement and changing the
cars direction with slot car like
directness
the chassis is quite a bit stiffer than
those of the competition in chem three
c63 and ats-v appealing to a smaller but
more fervent cross-section of the
enthusiast population and although the
julia lacks a carbon fiber chassis life
the 4 c's but there is no shortage of
sharpness in the full-tilt quadri fog
will model the relationship between
steering and body is highly direct
responsive and intuitive and the
excellent steering feel builds a
confident dynamic between driver input
and vehicle response however the driving
conditions or less than
confidence-inspiring with stay rainfall
505 horsepower ultra-high performance
pyar list with the treadwear rating of
60 in standing water on stretches of the
track it's no wonder the Jewish tale has
a habit of stepping out on medium
throttle the low-end torque is exactly
thunderous this is after all an
aggressively to small displacement
engine that produces a staggering 174
horsepower per liter but longer
stretches of tarmac revealed the engines
true p behavior he pull strongly through
the last three thousand revolutions per
minute or so until hitting the hard rev
limiter at around 7200 revolutions per
minute the entry-level julia and julie
atty both of which use a 280 horsepower
to dot 0 leader for are available with
all-wheel-drive the quadrifoglio is
rear-drive only and uses a torque
vectoring differential that helps a
little wet traction is limited we were
strongly discouraged from engaging race
mode due to the conditions as it defeats
stability control but even in the second
most aggressive mode
hey there wasn't much opportunity to
gauge what performance would be like in
the dr based on how the rear end steps
out and is quickly almost stiflingly
recovered by traction control it's
evident that it would take a bit of
skill to coax a good lap time under dry
conditions
then again race mode might be brilliant
enough to allow suit to be going without
putting a damper on forward motion given
alphas restrictions on the track drive
will have to reserve judgment until we
score more seat time either way the car
takes skill one thing that stands out on
the track the optional carbon ceramic
brakes have tremendous fight an
excellent stopping power which enables
surprisingly late-breaking on the damn
surface if the rain-drenched rack
excursion uncovered only a fraction of
the quadra fog Leo's performance
capabilities the road drive revealed
even less as you might expect in such a
tiny wounds for sedan potholes and
surface irregularities can be drawing
even in the softer suspension settings
between exhaust note throttle response
and steering effort there's quite a bit
of variability between the three main
driving modes and we found the middle
setting with the suspension at its
softest best suited for most roads the
preternaturally quick steering demands
attention and careful Corrections but
the hyperresponsiveness can become an
acquired taste that encourages more
driver involvement and ultimately more
enjoyment from the act of carving up a
canyon
interestingly the break by wire system
is linked to the drive modes offering
stiffer pedal feeling the two most
aggressive settings so much so that you
might need to think ahead while parking
since it takes extra effort to stop from
a low-speed Greek the eight-speed
transmission shifts reasonably well in
automatic mode those ships give jerk
here when the big aluminum paddles are
tapped alpha brass says this was a
tuning choice in order to add a feeling
of responsive
shifts take around 100 milliseconds in
best case scenarios not quite
industry-leading but certainly made up
for by the quadtree fog Leo's generous
443 pound-feet of torque which peaks
between 2500 and 5000 revolutions per
minute touchier than the transmission is
an electrically actuated front lip
spoiler which extends at speeds above 75
miles per hour to deliver more than 200
pounds of extra downforce on the nose
the car feels extremely planted in the
high-speed sections so it seems to do
its job
we also took a brief street driving a
280 horsepower jewett heat with q4
all-wheel drive the car was optioned
with the lasso package giving it an
attractive if more conventionally
outfitted interior with light walnut
trim and pale beige leather the t's
18-inch wheels provide a far less
punishing ride than the quadra fog Leo's
nineteen's but the more accessible
models main distinction primarily lies
in its dramatically more usable power
band thanks to the more well-rounded
tire compound and all-wheel-drive system
traction control is almost never
triggered allowing you to drive more
aggressively and extract strong
acceleration from the four-cylinder
turbo engine out the estimates 20 to 60
miles per hour time of under 5.1 seconds
and in the real world that is with bumpy
roads that translates to progressive
acceleration under medium throttle and
satisfyingly strong full when you use it
it lacked the soul-stirring engine
sounds and ultra-high performance
feelings inspired by the top dog quadri
fog mia model
though the alfa romeo giulia has been
eagerly awaited because it is such a
dramatically different sports sedan
proposition compared to the hot rod
offerings from aldi quadra BMW m and
mercedes AMG sure it has usable rear
seats in the trunk just like its
competitors but the full-blown quadri
fog Leo version the parts from the
formula with its ultra quick steering
focus on handling and Bray engine in
yes arriving late to the party has also
enabled the feisty Italians to tune
their mill so it's the grumpiest of the
litter barely edging out the AMG c63s is
by a mere two horsepower it may not be
the most evolved refine or polished
entry in this field but the alfa romeo
giulia is perhaps the most entertaining
and Driver centric of the bunch making
it well worth the wait for those who
hope to stand apart from the ground
