Short test: Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1750 TBi 16V Qudarifoglio Verde
Lately, Alfie's beauty has been distracted by the upcoming Giulia, but we still know that the Quadrifoglio Verde (four-leaf clover) label is always worth paying attention to. And respect. Thus, in the test we had the most powerful version, which shares the technique with the exotic 4C. It cannot be missed on the road. If you are not convinced by the 18-inch gray rims with powerful tires, you should consider the twin tailpipes, more pronounced front spoiler and side skirts, carbon fiber on the rear spoiler and rearview mirrors, and larger quadrangles. leaf clover on both sides. Since the measure is not yet complete, the test was also dressed in matt gray, which adds a dot to the i with an additional charge of 1.190 euros. As if Monica Bellucci was wearing beautiful lacy lingerie, I tell you ...
Just as Monica, though worthy of sin, is no longer the youngest, so the Giulietta QV has new items. The base technology, a 1.750-liter turbocharged engine with 241 horsepower and a dual-clutch TCT transmission, is shared with the exotic 4C, and it also features a large touchscreen that effectively connects us to infotainment content. The driving position, despite the leather and Alcantara-covered seats, was not the best, as I personally lacked a trimmed three-spoke sports steering wheel that would allow for a more longitudinal fit. And the seats weren't narrow enough, as if the buyers of these Alphas had a larger buttock circumference ... Hmm, maybe they just had a bigger wallet in their back pocket? Well, they cannot be poor, because Alpha costs almost 31.500 euros. What do you say we are jealous? No, maybe a little, because in this color and with this equipment it looks really good, and the sound of the engine is just right for raising the remaining brakes to a vertical position.
Be that as it may, the most powerful Juliet with a lucky four-leaf clover is a real queen in the city, lightning fast on the highway and elusive on the highway. But not off the track. As per Auto Magazine, the Juliet joined the other test sports cars visiting Raceland. It promised a lot, as it has a bouncy turbocharged engine and a DNA system that distinguishes between sport and daily driving program. With a time of 59 seconds and one hundredth, he is currently in 1st place, which is much more modest than his competitors. It's not because the engine is too weak, which accelerates it from torque, and not because of the slow gearbox, although you would like more decisive shifting on the track, much less chassis or traction.
Despite the inclusion of the most sporty driving program, where only the electronic partial differential lock has to roll up its sleeves, the stabilization system interfered with driving too many times for this to be true - a pleasure. It's a pity, because the potential of technology, to put it mildly, is great. If a car bought a heart, probably few drivers in this world would look aside at the most peppy Alfa Giulietti. Although on the track he is pretty beaten by many rivals. But the fact is that cars are bought by eye, and at the same time Juliet with four sheets has very good cards on the table.
