The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio has always been a powerful car, like a supercar but with four doors. It's loved for its sharp handling and strong engine with 503 horsepower.
Now, Alfa Romeo is making a new version of the car, but this time it will be electric. Some people were worried about this change, but the CEO, Jean-Philippe Imparato, talked about it in an interview with Autocar.
The new Giulia will have different models with electric motors. The base model will have 345 horsepower, while a faster version called Veloce will have more power, up to 790 horsepower. The most powerful version, called Quadrifolio, will have around 1000 horsepower, almost double the current one.
The Quadrifolio will probably have an all-wheel drive and use technology similar to the new Maserati Granturismo Folgore. This means it will have three electric motors and be able to control the power to each wheel. The new car is expected to have a range of about 435 miles on a single charge, similar to the current gas-powered car.
Imparato also talked about why Alfa Romeo is making this change to electric. He said it's necessary for the company's future. But he promised that the new electric cars would be just as enjoyable to drive as the old ones.
The design of the new Giulia might change a bit. It could look more like a fastback-style wagon to attract more buyers. But it will still have the style that Alfa Romeo is known for.
The new Giulia is expected to come out by the middle of the decade. Alfa Romeo wants to become an all-electric brand by 2027. This means the new car will have fast charging and good performance.
