GIULIA QUADRIFOGLIO

Since the beginning of civilization, designers have turned to nature and human anatomy for technical and structural inspiration. The world’s most celebrated architectural feats managed to find the right balance between both human and structural necessities. Giulia Quadrifoglio is the ultimate product of this higher design approach.

The world’s most celebrated architectural feats always strike the right balance between human, environmental and structural necessities. Giulia Quadrifoglio is itself an exquisite product of this elevated design philosophy. The driver is always at the center, in a cockpit designed with the same approach as the exterior: minimalistic, with a use of sophisticated materials such as carbon fiber and leather, and technology dedicated to a harmonious human/machine relationship.

The technology of Giulia Quadrifoglio is created to enhance performance and to give great driving sensations. The human/machine relationship is always at the core of all innovation to create a car that is a natural extension of the body, the mind and the heart of the driver.

Giulia Quadrifoglio features a 'brain' dedicated to vehicle dynamics. It’s the Alfa™ Chassis Domain Control (CDC), a module which integrates the actions of ESC, Alfa™ DNA Pro, Alfa™ Active Torque Vectoring, Alfa™ Active Aero Splitter, Integrated Brake System (IBS) and Alfa™ Active Suspension, assigning specific tasks to each one of these devices in order to achieve the best dynamic performance.

Giulia Quadrifoglio combines pure driving emotions and ultimate safety systems to leave the driver and passenger relaxed and comfortable. Forward Collision Warning (FCW) with Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) including pedestrian detection function, Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Cruise Control with speed limiter, Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) with rear cross-path detection and rear view camera with dynamic gridlines and parking sensors are all available as standard.

On Giulia Quadrifoglio debuts, as a worldwide premier, the new electro-mechanic system which combines stability control and traditional power brakes: the Integrated Brake System (IBS). It not only guarantees an important weight optimization and a reduction of brake pedal vibration, but it provides immediate brake pedal feedback, achieving a record braking distance: from 100 km/h a 0 in 32 meters.

Giulia Quadrifoglio features an all-new generation of standard infotainment system featuring a 6,5” high definition display with Bluetooth, USB and steering wheel controls. The human/machine interface is managed by an intuitive Rotary Pad. On request, the infotainment system comes with the high level 8.8” Connect 3D Nav, with Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) and a 7” TFT color instrument cluster.

Giulia Quadrifoglio can also feature the Sound Theatre by Harman Kardon™ with 900 W of power channeled to 14 speakers, including two surround sound speakers and one subwoofer.

Giulia Quadrifoglio isn't just the fastest road sedan ever produced by Alfa Romeo. The most important emotion at the wheel that this car can deliver is pure thrill: Everything is engineered for uncompromising driving pleasure. The road was not to build to be a cage, that's why Giulia Quadrifoglio passes down a sense of freedom that rises from its very heart: the powertrain system.

The heart of Giulia Quadrifoglio is a gasoline powered 2.9 V6 bi-turbo engine with 90° opposed cylinders. The engine delivers 510 hp and 600 Nm of torque between 2500 and 5000 RPM.

Made entirely of aluminum, it is extraordinarily powerful, yet lightweight. This new engine is developed with Ferrari expertise.

Giulia Quadrifoglio can be equipped with a 6-gear manual transmission or with the new 8-speed automatic transmission, that allows to change gears in just 150 milliseconds in Race mode. The automatic transmission can be actuated either with the central tunnel lever or with steering wheel mounted aluminum shift paddles.

According to the selected DNA mode, it can optimize shifting fluidity, comfort and driving ease, improving fuel efficiency and cutting CO₂ emissions.

Giulia Quadrifoglio is more than a showcase for the best power–to–weight ratio in its class, it's a study in how to use that power. The perfect 50:50 weight distribution creates optimal balance and showcases the advantage of a rear–wheel–drive layout in a front-engine vehicle. By pairing rear–wheel drive with Giulia Quadrifoglio’s front–mounted, all–aluminum 6–cylinder engine, the Alfa Romeo engineering team was able to carefully distribute weight throughout the chassis

Giulia Quadrifoglio is equipped with new patented AlfaLink™ scheme: front double wishbone with semi-virtual steering axle and rear 4-and-a-half links. 
Front double wishbone with semi-virtual steering axle keeps the front wheels perfectly perpendicular to the ground even in fast cornering situations, improving steering wheel torque linearity by 20% and reducing understeer. Rear 4-and-a-half links is able to provide best-in-class handling (lateral grip) while offering premium comfort.

Giulia Quadrifoglio is equipped with an innovative system that ensures the optimal distribution of torque to the two rear shafts, thanks to an electronically controlled differential featuring two clutches. This results in greater traction and more secure handling, even at high speeds, on curves, and on any type of road surface.

Giulia Quadrifoglio is the only sedan in the world with an Active Aero splitter: a carbon appendix positioned under the front bumper. At speeds of over 100 km/h it opens thanks to two actuators controlled by the Alfa™ CDC (Chassis Domain Control), providing additional stability by increasing the downforce, especially when taking high-speed curves.
The development of aerodynamics is the result of thorough wind tunnel testing. Giulia Quadrifoglio has a natural downforce coefficient (C_Z) of -0,1: the higher the speed, the greater the downforce applied to the car which gives it greater stability and maneuverability.

The Alfa™ DNA Pro selector interacts with the Chassis Domain Control. It instantaneously adapts the behavior of the car to the selected driving mode:

• RACE activates the over-boost function and enhances the exhaust sound for sport track driving.
• DYNAMIC delivers sharper braking and steering-wheel response for sporty on-road driving.
• NATURAL is a setting characterized by comfort-suspension for a perfect balance during daily driving.
• ADVANCED EFFICIENCY enables cylinder deactivation to maximize energy savings and dynamic efficiency.

Giulia Quadrifoglio's body is cast in high–strength steel, fenders and doors in aluminum, and is topped with a carbon fiber hood and roof. Furthermore, carbon fiber aerodynamic appendixes and driveshaft work in conjunction with all-aluminum suspensions to create motoring’s perfect balance.

All electronic systems operate smoothly in order to help the driver minimize fuel consumption. And, thanks to the electronically-controlled, patented cylinder deactivation, Giulia Quadrifoglio can cover 100 km on just 8.5 liters of fuel and emits only 198 g/km of CO₂ (combined cycle).
