Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.2 JTDM by BR-Performance
With the 2.2-liter JTDM diesel unit in the Giulia,
buyers can choose between three power outputs, at 150, 180 or 210 PS.
The model pictured here is the 180 PS version and
BR-Performance thought it could do better than its factory-standard 230 km/h top speed and 7.1 second zero to 100 km/h acceleration time.
Besides the power bump to 232 PS, peak torque has
also gone up from 450 Nm to 542 Nm, which is better than what you get in a BMW 325d, with no performance
numbers available, we can't know for sure this car would match the Bimmer's
excellent 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of 6.1 seconds.
While certainly less exciting than the Quadrifoglio
version, diesel models such as the 180 PS 2.2 JTDM should still be capable of
offering the occasional thrill behind the wheel. With that in mind, increasing
power and torque by 52 PS and 92 Nm respectively will make the rear-wheel drive
Alfa even more enjoyable on the road.
