Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio 2017 Test Drive


Alfa Romeo at Monterey Car Week 2018

While we were at the Porsche Works Reunion we were invited by a Porsche North American representatives to visit the Porsche booth in the Carmel Valley which we were thinking about.

So after driving through some interesting back roads to reach the Laurel Grade road and then over the hill into the Carmel Valley we stopped for lunch at a charming old-timiee local bar and grill, then drove off to find the Porsche enclave. It was across from the Quail event and as it was late many cars were leaving, or so we thought. We were stopped by a guy standing in the middle of the drive, who definitely did not represent the host companies, such as Porsche, and probably had been there too long to have any patience left. He demanded that we turn our Porsche around and leave as Porsche was closed and there was no parking. It was just after 4:00.

Back on the road we recalled seeing an Alfa Romeo Banner and headed that way. Leaving our car in the large lot we headed for what looked like a check in table in front of an arch way with new Alfa Romeo's beyond.

The nice friendly ladies invited us to test drive the new Alfas. I chose the Quadrifoglio.

I was given a most thorough introduction to the Quadrifoglio by a most capable and impressive guide named Courteney Cox. No not that one but a young lady that is equally lovely and one that is really into moving fast.

Alfa Romeo has always provided some really nice and fast cars. But to my eyes their offerings in the 4 door models have always been lacking in design. The 2 door slection has always been impressive however. The new Giulia is a good looking car but, except for the Alfa Shield on the nose it could be any of the generic models from Asia. The Quadrifoglio however…… The Quadrifoglio is all Alfa on the inside. Yes you can get the groceries in it. But you can scream over the nearest mountain pass and back into your driveway before the ice cream starts to melt. The brakes with the carbon disks are as impressive as the twin turbo V6 under the hood. It is also equipped with the current selection of performance switches to choose between getting the kids and getting your kicks.

The performance is very impressive. The shifting while noticeable with an ever so slight lag in the “around town” mode is snap on in the “Sport” mode. Given the area being use for the test drive I could not sample the suspension in any real left-right actions but the settings felt like they were ready for the action that the engine was whispering about. Turbos you know.

I have not had the chance to try the Alfa 4C but I was told that the lighter 4C was as impressive with its 4 pot engine. I would however surmise that with the Alfa Twin Turbo V6 the 4C would need to drag a cast iron anchor behind it to keep it from flying off the track. Please call me if the Quadrifoglio ever gives up its V6 to the 4C.

But Please Alfa! Give us a bit more styling and a lot less ‘generic’. Porsche has. Jaguar has. Tesla has. Alfa Represents Italy and Italy is all about style. And GO.

After the Quadrifoglio was parked we wandered into the Alfa compound and looked over the Alfa offerings on display and sampled the servings of wine and hors d'oeuvres. All very classy Alfa.
