"The twin-turbocharged 2.9-litre V6 remains a masterpiece, providing the lion’s share of the day’s joy. We’ve recently driven far newer, objectively faster rivals from BMW and Mercedes-Benz, cars that pack even more horses under their heavily sculpted bonnets. Yet, stepping into the Giulia, its relative simplicity is intoxicatingly refreshing. Where a modern BMW M car will batter your optic nerve with digital screens and an adjustability overload that is more baffling than genuinely useful, the Alfa just asks you to drive it."
The Alfa Romeo Driving Academy at Varano puts the Giulia Quadrifoglio, Junior and Tonale to work as the marque reassesses its future.
