Alfa 4C engine finds its way into a hot new range-topper for the Giulietta range
Alfa Romeo has equipped the Giulietta with the potent turbo engine from its 4C sports car to create a new range-topping Quadrifoglio Verde model, which is set to be revealed at next week’s Geneva motor show.
The turbocharged 1.7-litre four-cylinder direct-injection petrol engine, known as 1750 Turbo Petrol, produces 237bhp and can crack 0-62mph in just 6.6sec.
The front wheels are driven through a six-speed dual-clutch automatic TCT gearbox, also taken from the 4C. The lightweight aluminium engine produces its peak power at 6000rpm, and puts out 258lb ft at 2100-4000rpm –
