In this riveting episode of The Smoking Tire, we bid farewell to the last gas-guzzling Alfa Romeo Julia Quadrifoglio, as the Italian stallion prepares to embrace electrification. With a mere 6800 units sold in the US, Alfa's future hangs in the balance, challenging the company's presence on American roads. Despite being rear-wheel-driven, the Alfa falls short in weight compared to the BMW M3x Drive, raising eyebrows in the performance arena.
Delving into Alfa's rich history, we uncover the origins of the iconic four-leaf Clover symbol adorning their race cars since 1923. While Alfa may have stumbled in the past, their driving dynamics continue to captivate enthusiasts, emphasizing the essence of pure driving pleasure over flashy tech gimmicks. Under the hood, the 2.9L V6 engine roars with 55 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque, proving that size isn't everything when it comes to engine notes.
As we hit the road, the Alfa's swift 0-60 sprint in 3.9 seconds falls short of the M3x Drive, but its steering ratio and fixed setup offer a more engaging driving experience. Inside the cabin, standard deeply bolstered seats and clear gauges provide a comfortable and informative environment, albeit marred by a lackluster screen resolution and confusing menus. Despite its quirks, the Alfa Romeo Julia Quadrifoglio stands tall as a beacon of Italian flair, promising a thrilling ride for those willing to overlook its technological shortcomings.
