Alfa Romeo Giulia QV Vs. BMW M3 Vs. Mercedes C63 AMG: Baby Ferrari 4-Door ... - iDigitalTimes.com
Now, the surprisingly attractive all-new Alfa Romeo Giulia QV is determined to get into the mix. It has been a bit of a dark age for the Italian marque as an FR sports sedan hasn't been offered since the Alfa Romeo 75 way back in 1992. That's 23 years ago. A brand-new front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sedan is a big statement for any manufacturer. For a brand so steeped in motorsport heritage, Alfa Romeo knew it had to put up or shut up. So when it came time to create the Alfa Romeo Giulia QV , it called upon its big brother Ferrari. The new Alfa Romeo Giulia QV boasts a Ferrari-tuned twin-turbo 3. 0 liter V6 producing 503 hp, surpassing both the 469 hp C63 AMG and the 425 hp M3. That said, the more hardcore Mercedes C63 S AMG model comes with a little extra muscle, matching... The Alfa Romeo Giulia QV isn't all motor either. A new platform that shares a little bit of hardware with the Maserati Ghibli applies lightweight materials including carbon fiber, aluminum, aluminum composite, and plastic to keep the weight down wherever possible. The Alfa Romeo QV is said to have a power-weight ratio dipping below 3kg/hp. Finally, the new QV features a double wishbone suspension setup in the front and a Multilink suspension at the rear.
