Alfa really made a fantastic car. at first I was not so sure to get my QV but I did it a few months ago and it did not make me regret over choosing it for a 992 carrera S which was my first choice. I can honestly say that QV is an outstanding car, great emotions to drive it and good comfort for long trips. Coming from NA engine cars I was a bit worried by this turbo V6 noise but it does not make me regret nothing. I drove for the last 6 years my company car S6 and I do not miss at all; I do not even miss driving my brother's 997 carrera S which I made tons of km with it both on track and mountain roads. It is still behind the 991. 2 GT3 RS that my brother just bought but not that far away from it; if you consider the huge price differences between the QV and the RS than you realize what an outstanding job they did in Alfa. On the road I rarely drive too crazy but on the mountain pass where we can kind of speed I had the pleasure to meet M4 and new 992 carrera; with the M4 considering the driver's skills not that bad I really had no problems to keep up with him, actually I think as a corner speed Alfa is slightly superior whereas where I missed the corner speed against the carrera I could easily catch it up on the straight section of the road. guys buy one while you still can. this is really a masterpiece made by alfa and probably the won't make a suitable model like this in the near future.

I think anyone who has actually driven the Alfa and is a true enthusiast would agree it is the superior drivers car. The Steering is sublime, the chassis is balanced 50/50, and the power goes to the rear. It has loads of character and you feel connected to the chassis. The people who say it is -a pos Chrysler- have no idea what they are talking about. This shares nothing with any FCA product. This was the last project the Ferrari team engineered before FCA and Ferrari split. They spent 9 Billion dollars developing this chassis.
Real car enthusiast care about the way a car drives and makes you feel. Pertinacious show offs care about 0-60 times, interior quality, and technology. Sadly it seems like there are very few real car enthusiast now a day. Everyone just cares about the numbers on a piece of paper not the way the car drives. You don't drive numbers on a piece of paper.

What do you mean you lost when you were in the Alfa all the time! How is it possible to cal that even the slightest bit of a loss at all! You could've had cancer and still walked away not losing! Carwow me that! Kudos on the win, dipshit! Don't ever believe you lost when you're tossed the next best thing over a Nobel and towering over and Oscar, God himself in the top seat all round universal would bow down knowing it's not worthy of an attempt to try and make equally such an Almighty happen, if it does not just happen in an Alfa, already! It's a win most biblical! WIN in full caps! You need to up your game! Take those trophies before you and up sounding like you smoked crack right between frames in shots to come up with an end like this end right here!

The Alfa QV should be $40k. its not an 85k car in terms of speed, quality, brand, etc. Thats why they sit on dealer lots for 18-24 months. lol. I mean, in this vid its being compared to a $50k 4 cylinder AMG 45s. Imagine if it were compared to a similarly priced, similar hp, high end brand, such as a 2022 M3 Comp awd. It would be embarrassed in every conceivable measure. Again, it would be a decent buy at $40-$50k, but it should not be an $80k+ car.

the giulia is not famous for shooting from a standstill but it is famous for the best lap in the post at nunburnig the class A tore it up from a standstill thanks to the four-wheel drive that allow 60% to the front and 40 to the rear while the giulia is totally rear at 100% so it lost traction in the front in fact it was stripped then in recovery in the 510 hp of the giulia they made the difference even in normal if the Class a tore up

Giulia is truly a miracle car, because Sergio Marchionne gathered best engineers and told them to design a RWD sedan in just 2 years. They did it by designing a performance model first, which is a Giulia Q, and then put the lower power engines in it and removing some reinforcements from the body (that is not sure though. So if you buy a basic 200hp Giulia, it's almost the same as the Giulia Q minus the engine.

The AMG A45 S is a pocket rocket it - far above it's weight. The AWD system helps it with its launch control off the line. The Giulia QV has more power so will outpace the A 45 S in the rolling races. Now to pitch the new Audi RS3 against them. That would make for a great shootout.

The thing about the Alpha is that the exhaust is really quiet. You end up breaking the speed limit without realizing it. It is a very fast beautiful car. My only complaint is that some of the controls are not intuitive.

I'll remember this when I roll my Giulia up next to an A45S, at a stop light, on a wet road, and I for some reason want to drag race. Well son, that ain't gonna happen.
I'll see you on track day: )
