To celebrate the 100th birthday of the four-leaf clover Quadrifoglio badge it puts on its high-performance cars, Alfa Romeo has ginned up an exclusive 100thAnniversario model of the high-powered Giulia Quadrifoglio sports sedan, according to ”caranddriver.com” .
Only 100 will be built and all of them come with gold-painted brake calipers, unique wheels, carbon fiber grille and mirror caps, gold stitching on the seats and dashboard, and a set of commemorative badges inside and out. The Giulia Quadrifoglio otherwise benefits from the same upgrades as the non-QF model, which includes new LED headlamps and taillamps. The car also now comes with a larger 12.3-inch digital gauge display.
With a 505hp twin-turbo V-6 and a brilliantly tuned chassis, the 2024 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio has muscled its way toward the top of the competitive sports-sedan segment and earned itself a place on our 2024 Editors’ Choice list. While it’s not as posh as the Mercedes-AMG C63 or as lithe as the Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing, the Alfa brings a massive serving of passion to the table, all the better to charm its driver into clipping apexes on even the most routine commutes.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
With its rhapsodic twin-turbo 2.9-liter V-6 and a well-calibrated eight-speed automatic transmission, the rear-drive-only Giulia Quadrifoglio is a riot to pilot. The Italian-built, Ferrari-derived engine produces 505 horsepower, 443 pound-feet of torque, and a spine-tingling timbre that shames most rivals. The Giulia’s engine contains its excitement when cruising at low rpm and in top gear. The eight-speed automatic gearbox is decisive and quick to swap gears in the sportier drive modes, and the Giulia’s supple chassis is a willing partner in high-spirited hijinks. The Alfa shines on track and handles daily driving well, with perfect damping and notable isolation from harsh impacts. The zestier driving modes don’t compromise ride quality, either. And then there’s the sensational steering: The thin-rimmed steering wheel feels like a blast from the past, offering feather-light effort, communicative feedback, and pleasingly quick response. The synthesis of these traits into a seamless whole is what separates the Quadrifoglio from its main rivals and helped it win a comparison test against the M3.
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG
The Giulia QF and its supersedan rivals are virtually tied in EPA ratings, with the Alfa earning 17 mpg city and 25 mpg highway.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
The Giulia’s interior is composed of leather surfaces and faux-suede accents. The attractive front seats are supportive without being restrictive. A pair of racing-oriented Recaro buckets are available, but they lack the power adjustments and heating elements of the standard set. The switchgear and swooping dashboard carry over from the regular Giulia, but the Quadrifoglio adds a copious amount of carbon-fiber trim.
Infotainment and Connectivity
The 8.8-inch infotainment display in the dash can be controlled by touch or by a rotary knob on the center console. The interface is customizable and intuitive, but the driver may have some difficulty hitting the smaller on-screen icons when the vehicle is in motion. Still, Alfa’s system has a wealth of features and comes with navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto integration. A 12.3-inch digital gauge display and a 15-speaker Harman/Kardon sound system are also standard.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
The swoopy sedan has standard driver assists such as automated emergency braking and blind-spot monitoring plus a slew of available equipment.
