Alfa Romeo Undercooks The Saucy 4c

... fight the road surface to control the direction the car is headed in. It's tiresome. Which is a pity, as the 4 C is just an electric power steering system short of true greatness. With 60 per cent of its mass located over the driving wheels, it can translate it's 177 KW of power and 350 Nm of force into effective acceleration with an efficiency matched by few cars. And a 0-100 kmh time of less than five seconds has possibly never been achieved before by using so little fuel. Smooth surfaced corners are dispatched with an inspiring building of lateral-g force that then starts to fade as the front end of the 4 C progressively succumbs to understeer. A little relaxation of steering lock or throttle pressure will instantly get them holding the preferred cornering line again, a car-and-driver play that's likely to never get old when piloting the Alfa at a track-day. So, what we have in ...

Alfa Romeo's Giulia Quadrifoglio

... in 20 years. Italian Soul. Alfa Romeo's parent company is auto giant Fiat Chrysler, so you might expect a modest project like the Giulia to borrow a powerplant from one of its other brands. But mille grazie to the suits in Turin for letting Alfa develop its own. The top-tier Quadrifoglio model ($72,000) packs an all-aluminum, 505-horsepower, 2.9-liter bi-turbo V 6. The lower-specced Ti model ($39,995) gets a two-liter turbo-four that yields 280 horsepower. Both have an eight-speed automatic that could make you forgive them for not offering a manual.

Bmw 3 Series Vs Jaguar Xe Vs Alfa Romeo Giulia

... Jaguar XE vs Alfa Romeo Giulia. BMW 3 Series vs Jaguar XE vs Alfa Romeo Giulia. Ever since the Alfa Romeo Giulia made its debut, it’s been gunning for the BMW 3 Series. It’s no secret that the famous Bavarian sedan …. Ever since the Alfa Romeo Giulia made its debut, it’s been gunning for the BMW 3 Series. It’s no secret that the famous Bavarian sedan was the benchmark for Alfa Romeo from the get-go. Another newcomer to the segment that has the 3 Series square in its sights is the Jaguar XE. As the long-awaited replacement for the pretty horrid Jaguar X-Type, the XE is a sensational sport sedan that can genuinely take on the 3 Series as the best car in the class. So which is best, the old-dog BMW 3 Series or one of its newer competitors. In this test from i News, these three cars go at it on some twisty British roads in wintery conditions. Fortunately for the BMW and Jag, both have all-wheel drive while the Alfa is left to do ...

... rpm and 306 pound-feet of torque from 2250 to 4500. Fiat’s fuel-saving Multi Air system gets employed here, ditching the throttle plate in favor of variable intake-valve timing and lift, which cuts pumping losses. Crossovers make up 57 percent of Porsche’s sales. We expect that percentage will be even higher for Alfa. In the Quadrifoglio, however, you’ll find the same twin-turbocharged aluminum 2.9-liter V-6 that packs the fenders of the Giulia Q-fog, making the same 505 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque. For the Stelvio, Alfa claims a zero-to-60-mph time of just 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 177 mph. That’s faster than a Chevrolet Camaro SS or a Ford Mustang GT, but a distressing 14 mph slower than the Giulia Quadrifoglio. But it’s hard to be stung by such comparisons when the engine that powers both vehicles has such ...
