The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio was selected ‘Best Performance Car for Thrills’ for the second consecutive year at the 2023 What Car? Car of the Year Awards. Since its introduction, the Giulia Quadrifoglio has set the standard for technology and performance in the area of sports sedans. It is a manifesto of the principles evoked by the legendary logo, a sign of the sporty nature of Alfa Romeo.
The iconic Quadrifoglio insignia made its debut at the 14th Targa Florio in 1923, making 2023 the centennial of its introduction. For the event, a special “Corsa” version of the new RL was created. Despite the fact that minute attention had been paid to every aspect of the car’s design, the racing community was somewhat superstitious and felt it prudent to increase one’s luck. With this in mind, a four-leaf clover emblem was painted on the hood of the vehicle. After this victory, the brand was elevated to the Mount Olympus of manufacturers, and the Quadrifoglio has since become synonymous with Alfa Romeo racing vehicles.
“While some performance vehicles attempt to strike a balance between performance, running costs, and practicality, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio pursues one objective above all others: grins per mile. Its ferocious 2.9-liter V6 gasoline engine, which produces an intoxicating symphony in Race mode, is a significant element of its attraction. And the Quadrifoglio’s handling is even more exceptional, with remarkable agility and a beautiful natural balance that allows you to confidently explore its limits.”
“2023 will mark the 100th anniversary of the Quadrifoglio badge debuting on Alfa Romeo cars, thus the Giulia Quadrifoglio receiving this honor is a testament to the excitement and delight this renowned emblem still gives to drivers and industry experts. Taking the title for the second consecutive year demonstrates that Giulia Quadrifoglio is a true performance vehicle.”
