Alfa Romeo Giulia Makes Public Debut at Arese Museum
Just hours after its official unveiling, Alfa Romeo’s Giulia Quadrifoglio Verde has been displayed in the metal at the marque’s Arese museum, revealing its aggressive design and performance credentials.
Alfa Romeo’s new Giulia made its first public appearance just hours after the official unveil, going on display at the company’s museum in Arese, Italy. The car shown is the Quadrifoglio Verde (QV) version, the range-topping performance model aimed directly at established rivals such as the BMW M3 and Mercedes-AMG C63 S.
Finished in white, the Giulia QV’s lines are now visible beyond press images, including its slender headlights, compact rear lights, and muscular bodywork. The car sits low and wide, with pronounced wheelarches and a sculpted bonnet hinting at the performance underneath. Alfa Romeo has used carbon fibre for the bonnet, roof and other components, alongside aluminium, to keep weight down and achieve a 50:50 weight distribution.
Performance and technical details
The Quadrifoglio Verde is powered by a 2.9-litre twin-turbocharged V6 petrol engine, producing 503hp (375kW). This engine, developed with input from Ferrari engineers, sends power to the rear wheels. Alfa Romeo claims a 0-100km/h (62mph) time of just 3.9 seconds, putting it firmly in the high-performance saloon bracket. The Giulia QV is intended to compete with the BMW M3, Mercedes-AMG C63 S, Audi RS4 and Cadillac ATS-V.

Design and market positioning
The Giulia’s arrival marks Alfa Romeo’s renewed effort to challenge the German dominance in the executive saloon segment. The Quadrifoglio Verde’s performance figures and rear-wheel-drive layout signal a shift back to Alfa’s sporting roots, while the use of lightweight materials is aimed at delivering sharp handling and efficiency. The car’s styling draws on Alfa’s heritage, with a modern interpretation that stands apart from its rivals.
