12 March 2024Initially Alfa Romeo aimed for a quietly punchy value offering with the Giulia Quadrifoglio, which it tasked with doing a reputational reconstruction job for the firm. At launch it undercut a Mercedes-AMG C63 and the equivalent BMW M3 Competition and several years later while it now costs nearly £80,000, so too – at least - do the rivals.
The Alfa is also refreshingly free from a vast options list. Pick an exhaust, some wheels, maybe the carbonfibre roof, a colour, and you don’t get much more choice than that.
It’s also holding its value rather better than predicted. Even at seven years old, early Quadrifoglios (at the time of writing, March 2024) still command more than £30,000, a little under half their new cost.
The Quadrifoglio comes with a 58-litre fuel tank, which is slightly smaller than some of its rivals offer, but the 35.7mpg touring economy it returned on our test more than makes up for the shortfall.
