Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce
Alfa Romeo introduced us to the new Giulia Veloce
version at the Paris Motor Show, set to be positioned between the range-topping
Quadrifoglio and the more modest Giulia models.
The new Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce will be available
with two engines, a turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol with 280 PS and 400
Nm of torque and a 2.2-litre diesel with 210 PS and 470 Nm of torque.
Both of them are channeling their power via an
eight-speed automatic gearbox to all four wheels. Alfa Romeo takes great pride
in the Q4 AWD system, saying that it only adds around 60 kg and unlike
other systems of its direct competition, it remains 100% rear-driven under
normal driving conditions. If needed, the system will shift up to 60% of the
torque to the front axle.
Alfa Romeo claims a 0-100 km/h time for the
petrol Giulia Veloce in 5.2 seconds, which sounds fast enough for most
customers that can’t necessarily stretch for the big Quadrifoglio model.
The company will gradually start to offer the new
Giulia Veloce across all markets in Europe, Middle East and Africa regions with
the pricing to be announced in the coming days.
