Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Revealed in Singapore

The updated Alfa Romeo Giulia shows off more power and performance than before, but it might also be the last of its kind.

Capella Auto, the official dealer for Alfa Romeo in Singapore, recently offered a sneak preview at the updated Giulia Quadrifoglio.

This is the brand's swiftest and most potent saloon yet, and it might also be one of the last high-performance, non-hybridised vehicles the world will ever see.

This gorgeous unit has already been spoken for. Its owner endured a nine-month wait for its arrival.

According to Capella Auto, the Giulia Quadrifoglio, along with the Stelvio Quadrifoglio, is expected to grace their showroom floors from July 2024.

The most significant update to the Giulia Quadrifoglio lies under its muscular bonnet. The turbocharged 2.9-litre V6 now churns out an impressive 513bhp and delivers 600Nm of torque.

Power is directed to the rear wheels through an 8-speed automatic gearbox, propelling the Giulia Quadrifoglio’s century sprint in a mere 3.9 seconds. A mechanical limited-slip differential comes standard.

The Quadrifoglio model features new headlights underlined by a trio of daytime running lamps. Instead of the previous dual exhaust setup, the Quadrifoglio boasts quad pipes below the rear bumper.

To further accentuate its position as Alfa's sportiest sedan, the car flaunts larger air intakes for improved cooling, functional bonnet and fender vents, and an active carbon fibre front spoiler that automatically deploys at speed for enhanced aerodynamic stability.

Carbon fibre is also liberally used for the side skirts and boot lip spoiler.

This particular unit comes equipped with 19-inch wheels and optional red brake calipers, complemented by cross-drilled rotors for superior stopping power.

The signature 'telephone dial' wheels are wrapped in Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres, specially tailored for this model as denoted by the 'AR' markings.

Carbon fibre accents again adorn the dashboard, door panels, and centre console, while the 'Start' button stands out in red.

The updated Giulia Quadrifoglio also features a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Unlike 'normal' Alfa models, this one offers a 'Race' layout in addition to the 'Evolved,' 'Relax,' and 'Heritage' configurations.

The Giulia Quadrifoglio is priced at $339,888 before COE and is set to hit the market in July 2024.
