E tra parentesi, è un punto di partenza, non di arrivo. E questa per me è la cosa più importante.

Speriamo.......:-D

Hand on heart, would I enjoy driving this thing (Merc. C63 S Coupe) every day more than I would the Alfa? Yes. But it’s a close-run thing. The Giulia Quadrifoglio is an Alfa Romeo we can all love not for the badge, not because it’s Italian and noisy, but because it’s a great car.
I’d waited many years to drive the Col du Grand Saint Bernard and perhaps even longer to drive a genuinely brilliant Alfa Romeo. To do both at the same time? Unforgettable.

"The winner of this test is either the C63 S or the Giulia Quadrifoglio. Take a moment to digest that. We all believe that the Giulia is more exciting and enjoyable than the M4 Competition Package. I think it’s faster, too. The way it changes direction is quite amazing and the grip offered by the Pirelli tyres is above and beyond the rest of the cars here. The Lexus? I love its alternative take on, well, everything, but it’s just not quite sharp enough to run with the pack here. Pretty soon, everyone is loitering near the C63 S or Alfa for one last drive to decide which way it’s going to go…

I’d feared that the lure of the new would wear off over the course of this test. That the Alfa’s initial wow-factor would diminish. Instead, I find it more enjoyable the longer and further I drive. It’s true that it lacks the final polish that the Mercedes and BMW offer in terms of damping, gearshift speed and precision, and the fine detail of things such as ABS actuation, but it more than compensates with its sense of urgency, its terrific steering response and the sheer manic performance it can serve up on a great road. The only real dynamic frustration beyond the extremely sensitive brakes is that the electronically controlled diff won’t lock up in very tight corners and that allows the inside rear wheel to spin up slightly clumsily at times. However, in the quicker corners you feel it working, driving the front wheels into each corner and creating this lovely, easily manipulated balance. One final drive swings it for the Alfa. I think.

But then I sit in the Mercedes, and never mind the nearly ten-grand premium, it feels £25,000 more expensive. And I start the engine and it rips and snorts into life. And when it streams down the hill, the chassis feels so unbelievably easy to tease and boss. It’s the arch entertainer. Hand on heart, would I enjoy driving this thing every day more than I would the Alfa? Yes. But it’s a close-run thing. The Giulia Quadrifoglio is an Alfa Romeo we can all love not for the badge, not because it’s Italian and noisy, but because it’s a great car.

The fanTasy of an empTy Colle del
Gran San Bernardo drenched in sunshine is just
that, sadly. For now, at least, it’s chilly, drizzling,
and there are scores of cyclists who are outraged
that we’ve dared arrive at their road. Aston busies
himself with the static photography and detail
shots as we wait impatiently for the sun to break
through the clouds and the Alfa to arrive. As it
happens, we don’t have to drum our fingers for
long. Dan has made good time and the gloom
breaks almost as soon as the Giulia rolls to a stop.
Even the indignant cyclists can’t resist gathering
around the Quadrifoglio for a better look. There’s
something rather old-school about the shape of
the Giulia, but the carbon detailing, the stance
and those delicious telephone-dial alloys create a
powerful and evocative impression. It squats over
its rear tyres (bespoke P Zero Corsas) and looks
like launch control is engaged even at a standstill.
There’s just so much pent-up energy, like it’s
bursting to prove that the bad old days are gone
and this is the future of Alfa Romeo.
A future that
doesn’t have to be propped up by a distant past or
misty-eyed nonsense about ‘character’ that really
translates as ‘it’s a bit crap but isn’t it pretty?’
You like to imagine that when jumping into a
new car, you savour every second, take in every
detail. In reality it’s a bit more hurried – an excited
fumble with your brain quickly assimilating all the
important info. Love the steering wheel. It’s big but
feels just right. Hmmm, starter-button placement
just like in a Ferrari. Ooooh, long paddles fixed
to the steering column, just like in a Ferrari. No
manettino, but there’s a rotary dial down to the left
of the gear selector marked ‘RACE’ at 12 o’clock,
‘d’ at 10, ‘n’ at 9 and ‘a’ at 7. This is Alfa’s DNA
Pro system, which is linked to Chassis Domain
Control. It’s a fancy way of saying you can dial the
Quadrifoglio from mild to wild, with Advanced
Efficiency allowing cylinder deactivation, Natural
losing that feature but retaining the Comfort
suspension setting, then Dynamic and Race
bringing greater steering weight, brake response,
and firmer suspension. The Race function disables
stability control completely, provides overboost
and brings the noise. Even more so. Depress a
button in the middle of the dial and you can back
the dampers off again, even when in Race or
Dynamic. Just like in a Ferrari.
The engine sounds good. The volume isn’t
quite C63 S but it’s not far off and its deep, rorty
beat manages that Italian trick of being rude yet
cultured. It feels aggressive right from the off. Just
selecting D on the auto ’box emits a thunk that
you’d never get in the smooth Lexus. It’s a notso-
polite reminder that you’re in a car with some
serious firepower. Which is nice.
We’re going to head down the Swiss side of
the pass now and surprisingly it’s much, much
bumpier and maybe half a car’s width narrower,
too. I select Dynamic and the softer suspension
setting in anticipation of the bumps and lumps and
roll away as gently as is humanly possible in a new
503bhp Alfa that you’ve been gagging to drive for
an eternity. First impressions are of incredibly fast
and super-accurate steering, a sense of amazing
agility and massively oversensitive brakes. This
car – a late pre-production example – has the
optional ceramics and they require the lightest
of touches to operate with anything approaching
finesse. That’s a shame, as the rest of the car feels
instantly on your side. Even after the Lexus’s
surprising keenness to change direction, the
Giulia’s unflinching responsiveness feels hugely
exciting. It seems 500kg lighter than the Lexus and
the way it flicks between the bends is reminiscent
of – guess what? – a Ferrari.
The damping, at least in the softer setting, can’t
quite live with the steering’s speed, and as the pace
starts to increase, suddenly that lost 500kg comes
back with a floaty sensation and then a crash into
the bumpstops. Instinctively I’m reaching for the
damper button within a few miles to go for the
default firmer setup in Dynamic. It’s miles better
and suddenly the car feels cohesive, searingly
rapid and just razor sharp. The engine is fantastic,
too. It pulls hard from little over 2500rpm but it’s
really worth revving it out for the reach of the
top end and because upshifts executed near the
limiter result in a great crack of ignition cut. The
’box is fast and aggressive, each upshift bringing
a good old kick, almost like a good single-clutch
automated manual. It’s not subtle, but it does suit
the Quadrifoglio’s intensity.
‘What do you think?’ asks Dan when we stop
to grab some more photos. This sounds awful but
without thinking I blurt out, ‘It’s not shit!’ with
a huge grin. I’m not trying to be cruel, it’s just a
mark of how worried I was that Alfa would once
again fail to live up to expectations. For me, even
after a very quick drive, I know that’s not the case.
It’s better than I’d hoped, in fact. Dan concurs. ‘It’s
the first saloon car I’ve driven that actually feels
like a sports car,’ he says. ‘The steering is so sharp
and the chassis so taut, which gives the car the
response and immediacy of a much lighter, lower
machine.’

Ma non si contesta il fatto che Giulia arrivi ad un soffio o pari. Si contesta che Giulia, una berlina, viene confrontata con le concorrenti in versione coupé visto che il confronto con le 4p sarebbe impietoso e creerebbe imbarazzi per i paganti...
