Alfa Giulia GTA v Quadrifoglio: DRAG RACE

It’s time for an Alfa vs Alfa showdown!

Mat’s lining up in the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, and he’s about to face off against the limited edition Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA!

Now at first glance, you may think these cars are pretty similar. After all, they’re both powered by the same engine - a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6. However, there are a few more pointers that illustrate the differences between these two cars.

For starters, the GTA has a bigger power output - 540hp compared to 510hp. Furthermore, the GTA is a whole lot lighter, tipping the scales at 1,540kg compared to the Quadrifoglio’s 1,680kg!

Think that’s a big difference? Well, check out the price… Whereas the Giulia Quadrifoglio costs £61,000, the GTA comes in at an eye-watering £155,000!!!

So is it really worth more than double the Quadrifoglio? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Is the Giulia GTA really worth £155, 000?! 🤔

[subiectRO]

We need to respect Alfa for:
-> no soft limiter
-> 0 fake engine noise
-> old school needles
-> mid engine RWD with LSD
-> an engine codeveloped with Ferrari

Later edit: agree with you all but 53:47 weight distribution is enough for me to consider it as mid engine.

Alfa Romeo removed 140kg from the GTA and Yanni added back that weight. So yeah 😌.

Fun fact: the reason why this car sounds so cool is because it's the only 6 cylinder on the market at the moment without the OPF filter. They managed to do this by introducing port injection in 2020 and get away from direct injection on the earlier QV models. Quite an achievement and it shows the Italians really know what they do.

I can't believe I live in a world where the Guilia exists and people just don't buy it. Such an underrated car. Everyone buys German cars

[petkokrushev]

I don't know about the price, but the looks of this car is just insane

[sunnysaenngarm]

the proportions of the giulia is nicely done, rarely does anybody talk about that and combine that with how the gtam sits with the aero bits. gives it a super nice road presence

[claudiustefan]

I can't believe we got some ALFA Romeo content !!! I feel this time around it's upon us to not lose Alfa Romeo again...like we almost did a few years back. Thank you :D

I’ve been in that exact GTAm yesterday at a charity event at Goodwood track, can say it’s is an absolute animal! Everything about it is incredible, acceleration, cornering, braking into the corners! Wow, not to mention the owner who let us take a full send few laps in this, if you can afford one, get one, for me, yesterday was a dream come true! Incredible machine

[adim]

Really disappointed that Giannis didn't know anything about this absolute beauty of a car. Lambos Jumbos are ok but a real petrolhead should at least know. Greetings from Greece!

[giacomogin]

brake test was quite impressive, the GTA braked much later and still stopped earlier

[filippo]

It is worth the money. It's not just a limited edition, it's built like a proper race car.

[Hajgareful]

That Alfa is just my dream car, love the way it looks

[TiptronicSS]

The harmony of these 2 working together is what makes Carwow, carwow! 😂 Always looking forward to these 2 racing 😂

[MatteoLorandi]

Judging a track focused car on it’s straight line performance is not the best way to assess if it’s worth the price imo

[kayne]

This is the drag race I’ve been asking for!

[yipe]

There is a lot more to the GTA then what was said, and it is definitely worth the extra dineros. Exclusivity as well, because it is super rare. The quads are such beautiful machines that really entertain your soul.

[purwantiallan]

Nice to see Alfa Romeo drag race here. Thanks for this, Carwow! 👍

[Kol]

Perfect car, I wouldn't mind getting the normal veloce 280hp version. These are insane.

[srotamezzo]

I was waiting for this duel for long time 🔥🔥
