Alfa Giulia Laughs In The Face Of The Electronically Limited Germans By Hitting 183mph

Following years of crummy Alfa after crummy, we should revel in the fact the company now makes a rear-wheel drive saloon that's capable of nudging 200mph - something demonstrated in this POV autobahn run

Impressive though this 183mph (295kmh) effort is, it’s worth pointing out that the Giulia Quadrifoglio can actually go a little quicker than this. Its official top speed is 190mph, far in excess of its electronically-limited German rivals.

We’re not sure nudging 200mph on a wet autobahn is entirely advisable, though…

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Tesla owners on the autobahn

Every other sports saloon owner to Teslas on the autobahn

….

German car owners are going to feel beaten at their own game. They’re gonna be like:

The Italian too the Germans…

YES

it’s to*

But you can just remove the limiter from the German cars, there are packages from BMW and Mercedes for example. Pretty sure the M5 F10 does 200mph+ as well as the RS6

But you can drive an alfa without looking like a penis

But it costs a fortune to have that optional extra…additional fortune for me because I cannot afford both at the same time XD

You have to pay the packages

But the cars you mention are on a market above of the Giulia’s…

It’s more so about the fact that you can’t just take an m5 or rs6 off the showroom and hit 200 mph. Alpha lets you hit 183 mph without paying a premium.
