Carbon bonnet was prototyped in the uk by Gurit automotive.... (label by Rh hinge) I was a development engineer there and worked on the project. I selected and qualified the Blue sika structural adhesive for bonding the hood together. Worked with others on the robotic bonding and painting processes. Laid up the first outer skins at the tool manufacturer "Weber industries" in Ontario Canada. Bonnet production shifted to Hungary and now the company has been sold to italians Carbopress. Still it was good while it lasted.

Great review Jay. You quite clearly get the point of this car. Following up on your comment, if you are in the market for an M2/3/4 or C63 then at least take this out for a test drive, you will be blown away. I’ve had an e92 M3 and M2 (both fabulous cars), but my first love was my e39 M5. This Alfa even surpasses that masterpiece. I’ve had my Quadrifoglio for 2 months now and she is just incredible in every respect. This car is absolutely going to become a classic.

I bought my first alfa about 7 or 8 years ago (a 147 Twin Spark) and from that moment onwards 3 out of the 6 cars Ive owned have been Alfas - a 147 TS, a 147 GTA, and a Giulietta QV. The other three cars were a Lexus IS200, Subaru Legacy RSK and W204 Mercedes C250. I loved every one of those Alfas, and they all made me truly feel a sense of passion for them. The 147's made me feel thrill and excitement every time I drove them, while the Giulietta made me feel all warm and fuzzy just by looking at it. Other then the Selespeed gearbox in my first 147 they were all very reliable cars as well, and while maintenance costs weren't necesarily cheap they haven't been crazy expensive either. By comparison the Lexus had plety of quality/reliability issues, was very expensive to miantain, and gave little joy in ownership. The Subaru had good quality control and was enjoyable to own but still had its share of mechancal problems that weren't cheap to fix. The Merc has so far been trouble free and a complete joy to own and drive. In my time with cars I've owned an Alfa that never had a single fault and ive owned a Lexus that cost me a ton of grief and money. At the end of the day so much of it all comes down to luck. In my time I've learnt one big lesson. Any "prestige" or "enthusiast" car has got the poential to cause you headaches and empty your wallet. So if you're going to buy one then you may as well buy the one that's going to make you smile and feel a true sense of joy - that way if you do run in to headaches and your wallet does take a hit, at least it feels like it's worth it. If you want to play safe with a car purchase that wont cause you grief then - honestly - buy a Corolla.

Damn! I too have been struggling to resist this car and now you're gone and made it harder to resist. Great video.

I traded it in my 2017 Cadillac CTS-V for a 2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. The CTS-V was very quick and handled well, but had body fit problems, but worse was the torque converter/transmission problems which came back worse after initial fix, so I traded it in for the Alfa Romeo QV. The Alfa Romeo handles even better--much lighter, quicker response, and more nimble, and the standard seats are much more comfortable than the Recaro racing seats I had in the Cadillac, once I turned the headrest backwards--it's fixed position is too far forward for me--they need a backward adjusting headrest like Genesis, Audi, Mercedes, and maybe others, have. The Alfa Romeo QV is the best handling car I've had since a 1968 Lotus Elan S4 I had over 50 years ago.

Had the pleasure in test driving Veloce version. Very impressed. Compare to similar aged Audi 2.0 S-Line, which has similar 0-62 times, the Guilia Veloce felt more alive. Even for an Alfa die-hard like me, I was blown away. And like most Alfas gorgeous looks. Just wish I had the money.

Great real world review. Considering this Alfa. Hardly a negative review anywhere.

Brilliant Jay, just proper brilliant. Never owned an Alfa but would love too before I shuffle off this mortal coil. Your face at the end was excellent "it's probably the best 4 seater saloon car I've ever driven" Sounds really peachy too !

Love all the videos you have made. I own a 2018 Giulia QV since new. Between me and my family we have owned practically every BMWs that is out there, except the new M2 competition, which would have been an obvious choice if I didn’t come across the Alfa. I am so glad that I went with Alfa as it makes me so looking forward to drive it every time I step into the car (Race mode almost all the time). I just lowered my Alfa with K&N lowering spring, let me tell you the car now drives like it is on rails. I love it!

Of all your reviews i have watched (which has been a hell of a lot may i add) this car genuinely looks to have touched your heart and i now want one😄keep up the great work

Where do you go when your daily driver is an Evora? Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is on the very short list. Porsche 911 (any flavor above Carrera). Struggling to find a BMW that'll work (M3 comp pack, maybe?)- M5 is too luxo barge, although the power is very enjoyable. Audi RS family is in the hunt, but, AMG's C63S is too pedestrian, and- it's too rough handling & truck like. Like I said- really short list if the word budget is used in the same paragraph... 500 HP to the rear wheels, 2.25 turns, lock to lock, genuinely good 8 speed ZF transmission, gorgeous-inside & out- I want one as a daily (4 kids- Evora not an option). MPG's- who cares? I'll never see the low number with that sexy exhaust. Tires are gonna cost a lot, because they're gonna need to be replaced...often.

You talk about the steering and the gearbox but how about the braking? The brake by wire system has been criticized by other reviewers.

You should have mentioned that this V6 doesn't need to be counter-balanced, unlike most V6's that are not 90 degree V6's. Making it as attractive as an inline 6 imo. I know you don't care but, it's something to care about if you're into engines. Having had many high revving high end BMW's in my time, I think I'm going Alpha. There is a dealer 10 miles from me and I think I'm going to do it. I'm sold on the steering, the handling, and the engine. Just gonna need a really good warranty.
