2024 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio

If we were shopping in this rarified segment, we'd be strongly tempted to bet on this Alfa. You'll likely save thousands up front relative to comparably equipped rivals, you get an awesome 505-horsepower V6 engine, you can take corners like you're driving a two-door sports car, and you'll be looking back over your shoulder at that ravishing bodywork every time you park it. Life's too short to drive boring cars, isn't it? We love that this Alfa exists.

On the road, Giulia Quadrifoglio is a thrill, which is especially unsurprising when you consider that its 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 is derived from Ferrari's F154 twin-turbo V8. What does that mean? Perhaps you've heard of the Ferrari 488 midengine supercar, or its successor, the Ferrari F8. Roughly speaking, the Giulia QF has the same engine, except with two fewer cylinders. As impressed as you may be by QF rivals like the BMW M3, you have to keep in mind that there's only one car of this type with a direct connection to Ferrari under the hood.

Is the 2024 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio a Good Car?

"The Quadrifoglio may not be the most rational choice, but then again, this isn't a rational segment, is it? We can't speak for you, but they had us at 'Ferrari-derived turbo V6.' No other small super sedan can say that."—Ranked #3 out of 5 Compact High-Performance Sedans

The Giulia QF is one of the world's most desirable four-door performance cars, period. Although the clover has four leaves, the Quadrifoglio only has two driven wheels, but that just makes it more fun. This car feels alive like few others on the road, though we've said the same of the regular Giulia, too. Is the Quadrifoglio worth almost twice as much? You tell us after you've run through the gears with that Ferrari-derived turbo V6.
