2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio vs Alfa Romeo GTV // $100,000 Meets Priceless
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- This is a 2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. It hits 60 mph in 3.8 seconds and as specced, costs a little over $100,000 CAD. It is a sight to behold and an incredible member of the Alfa Romeo line up. But if we remove 'current' from the equation, something very interesting enters the stage. And it's something that's made a great impact on Thomas. Watch and enjoy. SUBSCRIBE!
Special thanks to Dave for being a legend and Paulo and the fellas at Ricci Auto Collision for making something like this exist! www.riccicollis...

You guys deserve to be the biggest car channel no doubt. No one else combines amazing, straight to the point, in depth reviews with comedy and camera work like you guys do. This channel finally filled the classic top gear sized hole in my heart. Keep on doing what you’re doing.
I love this channel and Donut Media too!
Agreed. Best car channel.
completely agree!
I'd give Carfection a shout out too, they're awesome
Love these guys...pray they keep this magic formula and dynamic.
The 1973 car is a perfect example of Jay Leno’s quote: “I want a car that needs me.” It needs you to push the clutch. It needs you to shift the stick. It needs you to pay close attention at speed. It needs you.
Sadly it can't be said for 95% of cars sold new today.
@@henrybrar so fucking true. Its a bit of a sad car world we live in today. And those regulations can really ruin a car.
@@dancinglizard3080 well yeah would you want to die everytime you got in a 30mph accident because you got a car thats just sheet metal?
Darren Garcia Still there is food served with chemicals and shit loaded thats killing thousands everyday.
@@henrybrar yeah and are those cars? You wanna top up those numbers when we take seatbelts,airbags, and other life saving equipment out because you want a thrilling drivers experience? You know who had thrilling drivimg experiences? Ayrton Senna, Dale Earnhardt Sr., Ken Miles, Antoine Hubbert just to name a few.
Probably the best video of Thomas driving. That old Alfa is something special
Best video of all time! U guys rock!! Those are my dream cars too....

Giulia GT is damn special, truly!
Pornography on four wheels. Never be able to afford any of the two. 😢😢😢
Even in Gran Turismo, it's such a special car when you try it.
I have had two Alfa's over the past 50 years. And dozens of "cars". None have left a emotional lock on me like the Alfa brand. Much respect to these two guys for getting on board with such a historic make.
"For you to have a bond with a car it needs to feel human, it has to have faults it needs to have human qualities." - Jeremy Clarkson about the Guilia.
I love this channel and I love Thomas and James. ♥️ Thankyou for the content.
Alfa Romeo makes some of the most beautiful cars I’ve ever seen
I agree with you
Only the old design the new is a shitty one.
@@mhm3437 BMW FAN BOY?
I would agree if they didn't bring out the new Giulia GTO
@@mhm3437 4c and 8c are gorgeous
Getting old top gear vibes, just stunning. Absolutely stunning work guys.
I‘m working for a German car manufacturer as an engineer... but my second car is an Alfa Romeo (4C).
These cars have soul and character. Period.
Soul and character sold out
❤️
What Is your First car?
Thorsten W. Thank you Thorsten for your true comment...
Why second, first. I have two cars, Mercedes CLA 250 and Alfa Romeo Brera V6. CLA is for driving from point A to point B and Brera for fun and pleasure. And yes, CLA is almost three years old, Brera is from 2008 but is still driver car better than CLA. Believe me. Simply cuore sportivo..
The sound of the GTV is beautiful, and the double clutch downshift is priceless
Which is not.
That (in all the automatic Giulia and Stelvio) is a ZF HP8, a (very fast) hydraulic converter based automatic gearbox, with 8 speed + reverse. The same one used in Rolls Royce Phantom VIII, Aston Martin DB11, Audi RS6/7, Jaguar XFR, Lamborghini Urus, even in the RAM 2500... Look here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZF_8HP_transmission#Applications
The Giulia QV is one of my dream cars. Alfa definitely knows how to make brilliant cars
Same man
Yeah... thing is, it may be a dream car if you live in Europe, but quite likely a nightmare if you live in the US. If you're seriously considering one, research well the dealer/shops in your area that can work on them. There are many *many* stories of terrible dealerships, terrible backlogs at garages, and very bad supply issues, and most of those stories coming from US owners.
They don't hold their value at all.
@@Wayzor_ Great news if you want to buy a used one.
@@Wayzor_ best part about it!
lets be honest. Noone who gets to listen to that wonderful engine noise would even want a radio installed in the first place
I agree. I have a Crown Vic Interceptor and all I wanna hear is that 4.8L V8 whine & scream
@@MarloSoBalJr I'm rolling in 2013 5.0L f150. Even with stock exhaust the radio is off most of the time lol 👍
15:06 - Absolutely agree, speedometer and tach should always be physical gauges, I absolutely hate LCD speedos and tachs.
TBH I think Honda S2000 cluster is absolutely amazing even with whatever that cluster is.
You guys are really stepping up your game, love every part of this video, the filming is amazing, the music is enchanting and you guys, as always, are a real pleasure to listen to! Keep it up.
Ps damn that old Giulia does things to me
Holy crap that old Alfa is just gorgeous. 😍
Definitely Tomas is happy he is driving a classic stick shift.
#Save the manuals.
manual doesn't belong in any modern sports cars. it bottlenecks the car's performance. if your idea of "fun" is a 1 second torque void between each gear, don't buy a modern car.
@@NeoHCgbz
I respect your opinion and I myself love dct but the fact is sometimes it's better experience in getting involved with the car just for the sake of fun so please just don't get started with auto vs manual debate they both have pros and cons and are great in their own ways and they are still used at many great platforms.
@@Ballacha
Your are absolutely right modern day supercars don't need manuals as they restrict the performance as humans we are not prone to mistakes but there are still platforms that still use manuals.
Note : I my self love dct but sometimes it feels great to feel that clutch and stick,gets you more involved.
Discoloured Buttflaps Discoloured Buttflaps i agree. A manual gearbox only limits the performance of a modern sports car, but if you think pushing down a pedal, (something a 6 year old is capable of doing with no experience) is fun, then I think you’re better off driving around in a Tesla. Might as well let the car do the driving for you. But hey, at least you’re going fast because fast always equals fun /s
@@Ballacha Nobody cares how much it limits performance. It's not an intermission in torque delivery that is fun, it's the interaction with the gear linkage, the feel of the clutch pedal, blipping the throttle on downshifts, double-declutching to preserve the synchromesh etc. So much from which an automatic or even DSG transmission will distance you when driving.
There is a fundamental difference between a sports car and a track car. The former exists only to be fun to drive. Only ignoramuses would buy one car over because it's a couple of tenths faster to 60, rather than for how it drives. For this reason, I doubt I would ever buy a sports car without a manual transmission. If you can't understand this then I doubt you've ever driven a manual yourself - probably just another ignorant American driving a Pontiac Aztek.
In a sea of monotone German SUVs, the QV is slowly becoming a “must have”..
Still people are not crossing thd barbed wire to buy one
Ok, someone think something' right.
💪💪💪
The Giulia QV is one of my dream cars. Alfa definitely knows how to make brilliant cars
@@sriramramamoorthy1589 ive seen three this week. Times they are a changing my friend
I leased an 18 Ti Sport Q4 Giulia as a swan song to gas cars. 30K miles into my 36K lease, the car has been unbelievably fun and more reliable than our last 3 German cars, still looking new inside and out. Everywhere we go, people love the car. The thought of giving it up for a sterile EV is seeming crazier by the day.
Why you leasing?
@@dreamsteal4773 Was worried about how everyone says they're unreliable but that just hasn't been the case. They also lease very aggressively like BMWs.
I've got a reliable Alltrack still under warranty, but I hate german complexity for little things like changing the bulbs, so I'm looking at Giulia Tis. They're so cheap, it would cost me less to swap to the Alfa than it would cost to tune and fix the awful OEM suspension in the Alltrack.
Reliable Alfa hahaha lol
I daily a 18’ Ti, it has been a joy to drive everyday.
Alfa Romeo definitely deserves better,such an iconic brand struggling these days,thank you guys for reminding us about the forgotten Hero
Its not struggeling!
@@barneywood4019 It is. Alfa has in this moment just 2 cars. You can't keep a brand alive with 2 cars (the Giulietta is fading out as it's 11yo now). 2 cars for Alfa and 2.5 cars for Fiat (500, Panda and the turkish done Tipo). Plus SUVs are taking away sedans in EU and all those stupidly big heavy things because impotent drivers needs to "sit high" to feel safe. Then, when it snows, you see them stuck at the 1st road bent because they didn't consider that 2 ton vehicle can't keep the road like a car half that weight.
PS: and I speak as Italian, who own a Giulia and owned a 156 for 17 years.
@@AlessandroGenTLe the Stelvio is out as well. The new alfa is coming out ,its called alfa romeo tonale
@@eunanavesani6074 Exactly: 2 cars, Giulia and Stelvio. The Tonale has been announced 4 years ago and still isn't out and we'll have to see if it will ever come out (now that there's stellantis). And they completely let down all the hatchback segment. They should have done the Tonale 3 years ago, the Fiat 124 should have come out as Alfa (a less expensive version of the 4C), do a sport-wagon with the Giulia base... Eventually a coupé too.
@@AlessandroGenTLe Tonale was announced and is being released this year and it appears botched. The new French CEO isn’t an Alfa guy
Thank you Thomas and James for giving us the best automotive content on ANY platform making us laugh and informing us of the beauty of these machines.....much love.....keep grinding 💪🏾

They are now over 2 million, crazy stuff
Explaining the GTV's air conditioning: The technical term is "Two-60 AC" which stands for "two windows down - goin 60"
You're welcome.
I've driven one of those quadrifoglios, truly a spectacular car.
17:46 "look at the wood" 18:06 intentionally directed.
... Alfa Romeo is like an Italian model wearing a red dress, and the boys can't control themselves. It had to be said.
Thomas and James have done it again. An absolute class review like no other.
"You must at some point have owned an Alfa Romeo" -A man of Genius
I did, it was terrible
@O 99 Bro pls you are not funny stop it
@@mothaybabonnam5632 You didn't get it. Not everybody does. That's okay, there are plenty of boring marques for you guys to purchase
@@mothaybabonnam5632 What model, which year, and why was it "terrible"
I have a Giulia TI Q4. It’s amazing, go with your heart, get an Alfa, you will not regret it even when you are going to the service center
Wow what a comparison! Epic video. If ONLY new 4 cylinder engines could sound like this, the world would be a happier place.
If you type 'BBR MX-5 NC Super 225 2020 teaser video' on youtube, you can make a relatively recent Mazda NC MX-5s with individual throttle bodies sound similar to these old carburetted Alfa Romeos. I know its not a new car, but BBR say that if their ITB kit sales are successful for the NC, they'll do the same thing for the ND MX-5 and it'll have that similar sound to the old Alfaromeos.
Those old alfas like that gtv are the most underrated cars in history.
I fell in love with “2000” when I watched Jethro Boddington drive an alphaholics one. The sounds that car makes are so intoxicating. Nice work gents, you guys are really producing quality product.
Patrick MacDonald try the Chris Harris drives episode where he thrashes the Alfaholics Giulia GTAm
@@pokinacha that video of Chris Harris drives made me *INSTANTLY* fall in love with this car. So seeing it on this channel? I dropped what I was doing immediately just to watch
Alfaholics**
Jethro Bovington
That old Alfa is simply gorgeous
The GTV is a masterpiece. One of the best car ever made in whole automotive scenario.
Only few cars as the Citroen DS, can be compared to it in terms of greatness.
Italian cars just put a huge smile on peoples faces. Italian cars are special.
Until they break down...
@@dlevi67 More likely a german car breaks down than a Fiat
@@alexisamtosta Not in my experience, unfortunately.
@@dlevi67 Well, thats my experience. Worst oil leaks ever seen in my life were in german cars. Actually a Porchse Chayenne turbo. Well...all german cars have serious oil leaks. Never seen a Fiat breaking the timming belt at 20 and at 60k kms. I have no complaint of italian cars but I do have of germans cars. Money pitts german cars are.
But all experiences are unique. I dont want german cars not even for free.
@@alexisamtosta You'd need to pay me a considerable amount of money to trust FIAT (and any other FIAT brands) again. As to your statements that "all German cars have serious oil leaks", it is provably false. I have driven well over 1,000,000 km over 30 years in Audi and BMW, and none of the cars has ever lost so much as a drop of oil (or for that matter broken a timing belt or chain).
Favorite car channel--I am SO happy you guys exist. I love the humor of Doug Demuro, and the stunning cinematography and insight of Track Day. But you are the PERFECT fusion of both. Please don't ever take away the light hearted atmosphere--you two are so natural and charismatic. Honestly, I'd recommend you guys even to people who aren't that into cool cars, mostly because you guys are just damn entertaining to watch.
That GTV is almost 50 years old and still looks absolutely gorgeous. 😎😍My word, it is beyond super cool.
Alright, 5 mins in, now I get why these guys rock!!! Not just like every other stereotypical reviewers ( even the "professional"), but going into the technicalities of the cars being reviewed, unbiased and giving a thorough check!! Challenge the status quo!
CHEERS!! all the best!
My dad had a GTV when I was 6. I am 26 and I still wish I could have one of these cars. This is my favorite video on the internet. I am going to live vicariously through your experience here. Amazing!!
I just feel the new Top Gear is born ... that synergy and connection between the two of you is getting there with The 3 Petrol Heads, keep it up boys 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I was just thinking that, these guys should go to the Uk and run Top Gear for the BBC... by the way, incredible cars here.
Awesome. Just got my dad into these and he picked up a ‘74. Stoked that throttle house is spreading the love
I bought a beat up GTV2000 back in the early 80"s when I was in my 20's, kept it for 3 years, and absolutely loved it
I'm so glad I bought a 1967, 105 series 8 yrs ago. Car enthusiasts the world over are starting to appreciate the genius of this engine
You two are the best, you both funny. I love you. You're both my favourite car reviewers.
I enjoy each and every videos of you two.
I'm a proudly Throttle House subscriber all the way from South Africa🇿🇦
The GTV is stunningly beautiful in just about every way.
OMG how beautiful is the gtv2000
Almost, but not quite, as beautiful as the earlier versions. By '73 the grill had gotten a bit to busy and the quad headlights never looked quite as good as the single. I'd put the 69-71 era at the top, though tbf to the average Joe they'd hardly notice.
Awesome review guys! The quality and fun factor are top notch! I'm also really excited coz im getting my new Giulia next week! :O!!!!!!!!!!!
Jeremy Clarkson will approve this vids 😊
I recently drove one and there is definitely something in it that every German car lacks, it would be my car if I had 90k to spend. It is so dialed in and the exhaust sound in track mode where it opens all the valves to basically be straight pipes is amazing. Both cars in this video are definitely my dream cars
Get the Ti it has all the chassis dynamics and trust me I wish I had a track to really explore the limits. I don’t know where they hide the weight? It has enough power to get into trouble as I’ve learned. Why can’t it be a manual? Then it’d be perfect.
These cars are really beautiful
17:58 "Italian air conditioning" 😂🤣 That's how ACs are still working in modern FCA cars.
The GTV had the name on the door sills even back then. That's really dope. Both cars are quite beautiful
I think this could be my favorite review they have ever done. Just perfect!
Definitely one of Your best reviews ever.
Alfa Romeo always was special...💙
Ok, I now regret not buying a white one, and I *need* that new steering wheel for my QV. I don't regret watching this video, or subbing to your channel because of it. You're spot on about the brakes, the steels can be sticky, too, but it's got softer actuation in Race. Also: disable the start/stop if you're not in Race- a lot less jarring at lights. Either way, great job on the video. You have a new fan.
What a great couple. the cars are cool too.
Had the opportunity to purchase a 2017 Quadrifoglio at sticker when they first came out. Decided to wait and bought the first 2.0 Giulia Sport they received. The driving experience was the absolute best. Owned numerous BMW’s over the years but they’ve lost their way. The steering and handling are everything the other manufacturers are missing. Really enjoyed owning it
Now I want one .... just need the 100k :(
This is the one. This is the episode that was better than the ignition/head2heads from motortrend. The intro to this episode was extremely well done, whoever worked on it keep it up because I had chills, it immortalized Alfa’s legacy in a small snippet of time. You know what I want more of though, LAUGHTER! For instance the vibe that Cammisa and Lieberman had on camera together. It’s something that editing or film tricks aren’t able to hide or create. I know you guys worked with Cammisa and Randy Pobst that muscle car episode, which was the coolest thing on RUclips. Keep making videos!!! Love this channel.
That GTV is beautiful 😍
How much is the 73 going for on average?
About 45k-50k
What a fun episode! Great job, guys. Also, that old Alfa is making me weak in the knees. What a beauty.
Best Throttle House video so far! Gotta love Alfa.
Best car review channel on TouTube. Sorry CarWow!
Haha Matt Watson is great too. I really enjoy watching both channels
Y’all can’t forget the Alfa 8C one of the best sounding v8’s EVER
PERIOD
Slick Mike I will agree with that
This is one of the best videos I've ever seen i don't know how i felt when watching it im happy because of the cars and because you guys are having fun and sad i feel kinda nostalgic even though I'm still 16 and never tried this i feel sad because the old 2000 gtv will never happen again and i wasn't there when it happened i wasn't there when the Tipo 33 stradale was out when the CLK GTR was out all this legendary cars were here before me and now they're gone and forgot to mention group B and old F1 old Le mans.
fuck new regulations
Me too. I'm only 13.
@@abalakrishnan4152 and unfortunately you'll drive a "phone on wheels" for the majority of your life probably, seeing how the things are going (at least here in EU).
Felt it was a solid, and entertaining description of the spirit of these two old and modern style lehends, ypu guys can take that to words, thanks and by the way smooth double clutching on the downshift
Ah my favorite manufacturer with two of their most beautiful cars
Wouldn’t mind a lotus and 4c review too
I learned how to drive in my dad's 1978 Alfa 2000 sedan with a double barrel Weber carburetor minus the velocity stacks (trombette) and later the US spec 1980 GTV Alfetta he bought with fuel injection lost a ton of power and the characteristic induction noise only a carburetor can offer. I do miss my 1990 Alfa 164 Quadrifoglio V6 which sounded great despite the fuel injection but this new car especially in the GTAm form is the best Alfa yet! Great review and comparison with that very valuable and original GTV well done!
The alfa aged like fine wine, the colour is a mere coincidence
Thank you Thomas and James for giving us the best automotive content on ANY platform making us laugh and informing us of the beauty of these machines.....much love.....keep grinding 💪🏾
#roadtoamillion
I'm in love with the Alfa Romeo GTV. The induction noise. The mechanical sounds. The demur size and perfect proportions. The euro code H4 headlights. It's automotive perfection.
IMO the Giulia Quad is the prettiest saloon car ever, since the 1980's onwards. an honour and total love affair to own, loving it.
I almost cried when I saw the thumbnail.
Just love the way you present the cars. Your review of that 1973 beast, made me fall in love with it.
As Italian Alfa-Lover i really thank you because in a "simple" video, you have showed what is an Alfa, pure passion... Great work, always glad to see a 2000 GTV (and a Giulia Quadrifoglio)
Alfa 1750 & 2000 GTV is my all-time favourite car! Achingly beautiful.
Nice way to describe it. I saw one for the first time in 1998 and its beauty has haunted me ever since. I may move to Italy (from the US) soon and I’m thinking of getting a gtv…
I’d love to see them compare a 1969 Charger R/T and a 2020 Charger R/T
The new ones are so ghetto.
They eventually do the 0/400 faster, then when they'll crash out of the road at the 1st road bent, the Giulia (both) will pass by.
What a fantastic episode! The GTV is absolutely one of my dream cars as well. Such a simple but beautiful design, and that engine note... wow! Thoroughly enjoyed this one, guys. The other episodes have been shit. Just kidding!
Jeremy Clarkson would approve of this video
I love the guilia quadrifoglio
I have a 2017 Giulia Quadrifoglio and let me tell you, it is the best car I've ever driven and owned. I'm a huge car nut, no bias towards any brand, and I can assure anyone looking at the Giulia will not be disappointed. I've put about 10k miles on it so far (bought it with 2k miles on her), and it has been perfect. Besides some infotainment updates that are free from Alfa, everything has been flawless. Nothing compares to driving this car as a daily. I've owned an f80 m3, test drove the Merc 63 s AMG, Aurdi rs5, Porsche Cayman, and m2 comp before purchasing the Alfa. Best decision I've ever made.
The review you guys did was great. Maybe a more in depth review of the Giulia would be nice to go over all the driving modes and such for another day. But nothing quite compares to Alfa!!!
Same here ! I’ve owned my 2018 giulia quadrifoglio for a year , 20000 km on it now ( bought with 2000) and traded in my m2 . Best decision ever . No issues love the maccina
Back at the end of the '70s my stepfather had one 2000 GTV Quattro foglio, a proper red one with black interior, and it was the fastest thing in the road, I remember that it overtake like mad and the sound was really loud. My stepbrother loved to race everyone at the stoplights and it was fast, fastest than BMWs, Porsches, and all the other stuff from that time.
Grandad, god bless hus soul...had an alfa gt 2000...let me drive it ...fell in love forever.. alfas are cars with a soul.
Damn .... favorite episode ever ! Thx
This is an instant favorite by you guys. The Audi RS5 and this one are my favorites.
I must say I love the funny skits in the intro alot 😂 the acting is on point👌
What an old time classic. Henry Ford once said: When I see an Alfa Romeo go by, I tip my hat.
I say: When I watch Thomas and James Brothers driving, I tip my hat.
Almost 800K subscribe, impressive but not surprising because I knew it's coming.
Congrats from GTA.
"I'm being air conditioned right now" hahahaha
1973 I bought my first car. 69 Alfa Spider 1750 with SPICA mechanical fuel injection. I only owned that car for about a year and a half and a good portion of that I wasn't able to drive it when in boot camp and my first Navy school. What a FUN car! Before I pass from this world, I will own another Alfa! Dang, why was I so practical?! Oh, and I love they mentioned the cigarette lighter! I didn't smoke but, that was the trickest lighter ever! Slap in my Doobie Brothers 8-track, put the top down and blast down the highway!
Beautiful cars. The old Alfa was special and such a treat. Wish I could experience that!
Terrific video and I have never seen Thomas so excited. Very cool. There is something about driving something old that you just dont get in newer cars. A connection that is no longer there.
Can't help but smile not only watching this review, but all of your comparisons, track tests, and "messing about". Here's to the next 800k subscribers and countless more videos that make me proud to be a car guy.
wow... 2.8mill now:)
I love my red 🔴 2019 Giulia ti sport ❤
My every day commute is not the same as it use to be, it's something indescribable.
The best part is driving around Toronto with the windows down and getting compliments every day from random people. It never gets old

Man, that GTV sounds just incredible! I love the '70s.
Excellent! I had the Giulia QV for a while and it is amazing! The old Alfas are very special. Unfortunately I’ve ever driven an old Alfa but I do have a ‘71 Triumph Spitfire which is very much back to basics and weighs 1700 lbs! Another great video, guys!
i love that GT - absolutely LOVE IT!!
This is the best car review of 2020, honestly! Tells you nothing, yet so much at the same time :)
Best Video on RUclips ! Great Job ! Forza Alfa Romeo !
"Oh my God the sound...!" Yes, i know that feeling!
Speaking of alfa unreliabilty, i owned an alfa gt for 7 years until recently. The engine itself was amazing, never missed a beat, never failed to start once. It was the rest of the car that was the issue, the suspension constantly failed, the gearbox died at 85000 miles, all of the metals were just a bit weak and soft. That being said, i loved that car and was sad to let it go but the costs of maintaining it had got to a point where it wasnt cost effective to keep. Would i have another alfa? Hell yes, just need a boring sensible car for a couple of years until my bank balance improves
I have not driven the new ALFA but I had a 1972 GTV2000 with mechanical fuel injection and restored it to similar condition as the one you drove. I loved the way it drove and handled, sold it some years back and it now lives in the UK. Glorious is the GTV2000 (well all of them) - loved this episode.
