The V6 Alfa Romeo doesn't have long left - time for a classic?
/ Monday, 4 March 2024 / Loading commentsthis week, so keep your eyes peeled for a review in due course. It isn’t hard to be excited about a freshly revised, slightly more powerful Giulia, because since 2015 the Quadrifoglio has been everything - and probably a little bit more, in truth - we’ve always wanted from a flagship Alfa four-door. Fast, exciting, stylish and occasionally irritating, the Giulia is emphatic proof that it’s not just the Germans who know how to do super-saloons.
But it can’t last. This most recent update must be the final, given Alfa’s declaration of being an EV-only brand from 2027 - and with a battery-powered Quadrifoglio coming before that date. And that’ll mean no more twin-turbo V6, a motor that’s been central to the Giulia’s appeal over the past few years. Which will be bad enough, but an Alfa Romeo with no V6 at all will be very strange indeed.
Handy, then, that Alfa Romeo sought to get a V6 into pretty much everything back in the day. From hatchback to convertible and estate to coupe, the commitment couldn’t be faulted. We’re now at the point, moreover, where any handling flaws are likely to be overlooked given the majesty of the Busso engine.
As a reminder of all that’s great about rear-drive, V6-powered, classic Alfa Romeos, it looks a winner to us. It would be one for sparing use now, given the condition, but what an event every drive promises to be. And you just know every car fan around will love seeing it. The plate is included, it’ll be freshly serviced by the selling dealer, and the asking price is £25k. A Capri with this sort of mileage is easily another £10,000 again.
