Alfa Romeo’s passion for Italian style, craftsmanship and performance carries throughout the entire lineup. #giuliaquadrifoglio stands as the “halo” model with its 2.9-liter bi-turbo V-6 engine producing a class-leading 505 hp. The Giulia and Giulia Ti models feature an all-new, all-aluminum, 2.0-liter, direct-injection turbo engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission delivering a class-leading, standard 276 horsepower.
