The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio has been with us for almost a decade. Revealed in 2015 and launched in 2016, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is a car that has become something of an instant classic. When you take the driver’s seat in the Quadrifoglio, it’s clear what this rear-wheel drive super saloon is capable of.
Recently, the Giulia had its facelift introducing new 3+3 LED headlight graphics, an updated infotainment system and an interior 3D textured carbon fibre trim. A more crucial change was the replacement of the electronic differential to a more predictable mechanical limited-slip differential. Yet despite these upgrades, Rory firmly believes that Alfa achieved perfection many years ago upon its initial launch – watch the video to find out why.

End of an Era

The Quadrifoglio reached the end of production in September 2025; Rory celebrates the life of this super saloon by turning it up and letting it play one more time. If you want to see the Quadrifoglio in action, be sure to watch our video review and experience for yourself why the car feels like the last of its time.
Alfa Romeo’s original initiative was to phase out combustion engine vehicles and focus on electrification of their models. However, the ban on petrol and diesel cars could be delayed as the European commission may relax the rules. Alfa may therefore release a temporary comeback of the Quadrifoglio, giving customers more time with traditional engines. As the world shifts towards electrification and self-driving cars, the Giulia Quadrifoglio stands as a reminder of what this era of driving was about.
