“La meccanica delle emozioni” , or the mechanics of emotion – so engineers from Italy show the new sedan Alfa Romeo. Giulia is the car, which was founded on a new platform-driven rear axle (adapted her fraternal Maserati Ghibli). This means that the Italians are returning to the roots, when the car was constructed as God commanded – rear-wheel driven, front and twisting.
The first diesel Alfa aluminum
At the beginning of the sales on the Polish market debut diesel engine 2.2 with two levels of power – what is important is the first diesel engine in the history of Alfa Romeo made entirely of aluminum.
Basic turbodiesel offers the driver a 150 KM – the weakest does not mean lethargic. 380 Nm of torque is able to efficiently move Giulia on the road. The new alpha from zero to 100 km / h in 8.4 s and reaches a maximum of 220 km / h. It is worth noting that the Giulia with the same engine but with the optional 8-speed automatic transmission (new design) offers the teacher of 70 Nm more torque, and this translates into better spurt – in the sprint to the first hundreds of limousine is faster at 0, 2 s.
Today Giulia gap, which was founded five years ago, when the middle class disappeared last Alfa – model 159. However, this gap is nothing compared to the over 20 years that have passed since the end of production of the 75 – the last Alfa Romeo with rear-wheel drive.
will probably be more popular but more powerful variant with a capacity of 180 KM connected to the 8-step automatic. Alpha Analysts expect that soon it will be called. auto enterprise. Configured Giulia accelerates to “hundreds” of 6.8 s – engine willingly turns up to 4.5 thousand. rpm. Shame on such a car late for a business meeting. But if that’s not enough, then the garage should be Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio …
Quadrifoglio (qv) is the most powerful version of the new Giulia – at least in terms of power is tamer BMW M3 (431 hp) and a Mercedes class C 63 AMG (476 hp). The heart of the car is co-created with Ferrari 6-cylinder engine turbobenzynowy 2.9 510 hp (maximum torque is 600 Nm). The manufacturer shall ensure that the car from 0 to 100 km / h in just 3.9 seconds and can accelerate up to – pay attention! – 307 km / h. Braking distance Giulia with 100 km / h to zero is less than 32 m. This value reserved for cars the likes of the Porsche 911.
The Queen of Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio
New Alfa is to guarantee performance level supercars. Proof of this is the result of “twisted” at the Nürburgring – so the Italian limousine drove a loop in 7 minutes. 39 sec. Giulia was thus the fastest sedan and was also better than for example. Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 and as fast as a Ferrari 430 Scuderia.
New Qiulia QV boasts a power to weight ratios, which is 2.99 kg / hp (the car weighs 1524 kg). To achieve this rate of auto constructed of lightweight materials. For example, the carbon fiber used in the drive shaft, the engine hood and the roof, or aluminum on the engine, brakes, suspension (including front socket fixing points shock absorbers and front and rear frame), and a plurality of body parts, such as doors and fenders. In addition, the rear transverse beam is made of aluminum and composite materials. In the case of “civil” variant of the 2.2 turbo diesel / 180 hp extensive use of lightweight materials allowed to obtain their own weight equal to 1374 kg.
Card from the calendar. In 1962, Alfa Romeo presented its rapid limousine aptly named Giulia – it was a real hit! A year later he joined by the beautiful Giulia GT.
Engineers Alfa new Giulliano applied for the first time integrated braking system (Integrated Brake System – IBS), or electro-mechanical coupling stability control with brake assist traditional. As a result, Italians promise to record short braking distances – 38.5 meter when driving at 100 km / h in the case of Giulia and 32 meters for the version Quadrifoglio.
Three versions of the beginning
The manufacturer at the beginning of the sale offers a limousine service in three versions – Giulia, Giulia and Giulia Super Quadrifoglio.
Even the basic version of the Giulia is equipped with a collision avoidance system leading from the autonomous emergency braking system and detection of pedestrians. The list is also integrated brake system IBS, the system warned against unintentional running off with your own lane plus cruise control with speed limiter. The base giulia will get 16-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic air conditioning and audio system Connect with the 6.5-inch screen. The driver of this model can switch the Alfa DNA system on the center console to select the driving program that changes the settings of the car – from sports, and the comfortable.
Variety Giulia Super You can see from the leather upholstery seats and 17-inch alufelgach. Also the dashboard is trimmed with leather combined with ingredients from natural wood. On board the new infotainment system Connect 3D Nav 8.8-inch touch screen and a sports steering wheel with audio controls life functions of the car – the most important of these is the start button.
The new Alfa Romeo Giulia is equipped with modernized selector Alfa DNA, which allows the driver to change the face of the car and put them in one of four modes: Dynamic, Natural, Advanced Efficient (energy-saving mode, which after was first used in Alfie) and Racing (version Quadrifoglio).
The top Quadrifoglio is the sports seats upholstered in leather and fabric Alcantara sports steering wheel with red button start, finishing elements of carbon fiber in the interior and exterior aerodynamic spoilers. Among the enhancements electronic driver’s assistant is a blind spot and rear camera, and besides xenon headlights. Most sports sedan Alfa conceals a system of Active Aero Splitter, the system established under the front bumper, which leaning affects the downforce, thus providing better performance and grip, especially at high speeds. Auto is equipped with 19-inch alloy wheels behind which you can see the carbon-ceramic brake discs.
Cheaper than the Germans
The new Giulia is a great Italians hope – hope that this model Utra nose mainly BMW 3 Series, so it is cheaper than the German competition.
In Poland, the cheapest Alfa Romeo Giulia cost of 139 thousand. zł for the model with 2.2 unit / 150 hp and manual 6-speed gearbox (with automatic 149 thousand. zł). Petrol 2.0 will deliver 200 hp and will appear in June – prices remain a mystery. Giulia with 180-hp turbodiesel occurs only in versions of the super and you need it to be between 153 300 zł. For most sports with the possible variation Quadrifoglio need to pay 359 thousand. zł.
“When I pass the Alfa Romeo, take off my hat,” – said Henry Ford. I wonder what he would say today, the sight of the latest work by Italian engineers.
Rivals? BMW 3 Series at the cheapest but also the weaker of the Alfa version of the diesel 316d / 116 hp priced at 136 400 zł. A comparable 150-PS variant 318d is 144 thousand. zł, and 320d / 190 hp costs 155 thousand. zł. Sport BMW M3 – 370.7 thousand. zł.
