Alfa Giulia GTA v Quadrifoglio: DRAG RACE

- It’s time for an Alfa vs Alfa showdown!
Mat’s lining up in the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, and he’s about to face off against the limited edition Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA!
Now at first glance, you may think these cars are pretty similar. After all, they’re both powered by the same engine - a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6. However, there are a few more pointers that illustrate the differences between these two cars.
For starters, the GTA has a bigger power output - 540hp compared to 510hp. Furthermore, the GTA is a whole lot lighter, tipping the scales at 1,540kg compared to the Quadrifoglio’s 1,680kg!
Think that’s a big difference? Well, check out the price… Whereas the Giulia Quadrifoglio costs £61,000, the GTA comes in at an eye-watering £155,000!!!
So is it really worth more than double the Quadrifoglio? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Is the Giulia GTA really worth £155,000?! 🤔
No
No
Yes, because it's an Alfa
Yes'nt
9 no
We need to respect Alfa for:
-> no soft limiter
-> 0 fake engine noise
-> old school needles
-> mid engine RWD with LSD
-> an engine codeveloped with Ferrari
Later edit: agree with you all but 53:47 weight distribution is enough for me to consider it as mid engine.
Yeah man totally agree with you
Forza Italia🍀🇮🇹
So Lamborghini's
Manual Transmission will alfa have that on this cars ?
mid engine is a bit of a stretch
Its front engined. Other than that, yeah
Alfa Romeo removed 140kg from the GTA and Yanni added back that weight. So yeah 😌.
The GTA looked overrated sometimes.
Oooooo burnn!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😆
That's a hilarious comment and on point! 🤣🤣🤣
Fun fact: the reason why this car sounds so cool is because it's the only 6 cylinder on the market at the moment without the OPF filter. They managed to do this by introducing port injection in 2020 and get away from direct injection on the earlier QV models. Quite an achievement and it shows the Italians really know what they do.
nice fact
Fun Fact: you are wrong. The car is fitted with OPF in the EU
@@odin5188 its false fact
@@marcelk3847 Knew it was too good to be true 😂 However the Abarth does sound better than others cars standard 🤔
@@odin5188 Abarths sound illegal. Not sure how they get away with it but I'm glad they do.
I can't believe I live in a world where the Guilia exists and people just don't buy it. Such an underrated car. Everyone buys German cars
Maybe, there's a reason... buy an Alfa and see by yourself... good luck!
@@Isha048 I've owned 2 Alfas. Yes older Alfas tend to break down a lot. Newer ones are not that much different from the competition.
In Belgium there are lots of german cars But also a lot of guilias and stelvios
@@Isha048 Its more reliable than our BMW for sure lol
well the germans actually offer a wide range of vehicles, not just two or three that are all expensive, that might be the reason you know, is the reason why there are more corollas than 458s you dummy
I don't know about the price, but the looks of this car is just insane
We need more Alfa Romeo content!
GTA vs M4
BIGCEEE
Alfa Giulia GTA SUCKS DICKKKKKKKKKKKKKK LMAOOOOOOOOOO
@@pearlvision7156giulia quadrifolgio * vs m4
the proportions of the giulia is nicely done, rarely does anybody talk about that and combine that with how the gtam sits with the aero bits. gives it a super nice road presence
I can't believe we got some ALFA Romeo content !!! I feel this time around it's upon us to not lose Alfa Romeo again...like we almost did a few years back. Thank you :D
Sorry to disappoint but they were sold to the renault group (stellantis=french) 2 years ago....:( That's why they're pushing electrics now like the Tonale. Drove tested the car and comparing it to the stelvio it is like a toy. No alfa spirit in that freaking thing. So yeah...once again bye bye alfa...these two cars and the stelvio was their last thermal engine cars (speaking of sport performance cars from alfa...city cars have fiat engines, or had them cause should implement renault engines now - we all saw what that did to mercedes' cars = total failure in selling points at least here in Italy)..so sad
Well forget about alfa mate, I don't see them entering the EVs world of charge and go. This might be the end of Alfa
@@karabotrial7037 glad I picked up the Giulia quadrifoglio. A great car that I daily. But I'm not feeling good about the future of Alfa going forwards
@@LeonidasTheKingOfSparta Stellantis = former PSA + FCA. Nothing to do with Renault. The Tonale is based on Jeep/Fiat underpinnings and the next small SUV will be based on underpinnings leading back to PSA.
@@PriitKaru I mentioned Renault because of their history with Alfa in the past. It is well known that they survived thx to Alfa back in the days..plus they are part of the group PSA. However I wasn't speaking of the chasy of the car as it is obbious that the italian chassis are going to be used for the next french cars as their chassis are shit. I was talking about the handling which is given by the PSA. A mcpherson system (that almost everybody use nowadays) but with the PSA's (especially designeg for the tonale as I was told before trying the car) FSD module. Which is probably the one Alfa made but made worse cause french just make the things worse.
One of the most underrated car.
That Alfa is just my dream car, love the way it looks
Italian school
Perfect twins 🥲
I love mine
Really disappointed that Giannis didn't know anything about this absolute beauty of a car. Lambos Jumbos are ok but a real petrolhead should at least know. Greetings from Greece!
Yianni doesn't know anything about cars
Yianni only knows about lamborghini
Indeed i'm happy that finally drove it.
He always drives german cars, Lamborghini, rarely Ferrari, stop.
Totally agree maybe stick to wrapping Christmas presents Alfa's are for real drivers
Γειά σου πατριδα
brake test was quite impressive, the GTA braked much later and still stopped earlier
Yep. It also has stomach turning acceleration.
Even though yiani was sitting 🤣
GTA is lighter and with carbon ceramic brakes
It is worth the money. It's not just a limited edition, it's built like a proper race car.
Alfa is rusting. BMW is the best.
@@maziar8045 no. Both Alfa and BMW are rusting even though BMW slightly above Alfa.
@@purwantiallan5089 every car rusts, but saying bmw being "slightly above" is more than delusional.
@@maziar8045 modern Italian cars actually rust less than pretty much any of their competitors
@@maziar8045 well if you can see the Alfa rusting, you can see the front end of the BMW. 🤮
I’ve been in that exact GTAm yesterday at a charity event at Goodwood track, can say it’s is an absolute animal! Everything about it is incredible, acceleration, cornering, braking into the corners! Wow, not to mention the owner who let us take a full send few laps in this, if you can afford one, get one, for me, yesterday was a dream come true! Incredible machine
The harmony of these 2 working together is what makes Carwow, carwow! 😂 Always looking forward to these 2 racing 😂
Nice to see Alfa Romeo drag race here. Thanks for this, Carwow! 👍
These drag races never get old
ADRIAN, wish Carwow do the drag between Aston One-77 vs FIAT 500 Abarth.
@@purwantiallan5089 - What makes you think the Fiat has a chance?
@@purwantiallan5089 Maybe they will do it one day
Ever! 👌👌
@Damar Fadlan - You'll probably agree with Purwanti Allan saying it's a good match-up, but, somehow even the most potent model produced, Abarth 695 Biposto would have a hard time in a drag race against a One-77. IMO
Perfect car, I wouldn't mind getting the normal veloce 280hp version. These are insane.
Got to, just waiting for the Misano blue to get closer to £20k 👌
@@cbarronie2361 I've got mine with Missano Blue. It looks fantastic on sunny day. Although mine is basic 200 Bhp:/. But nevertheless I took it on track and it rides unbelievably good.
Yes! They should do a race with all 2.0 turbo engines
@@oskarskalski2982 You are a smart man Oskar, not only do you have a beautiful car in the best colour, but should you come to sell it 1 day you can charge the biggest premium 👌
I absolutely love my Giulia Veloce 280bhp, it's nuts. I had the Giulietta QV 240bhp that was fun but god, the Giulia just pulls and pulls and it's all stock too. I would say its the best car I've ever had. Definitely a wolf in sheep's clothing.
This is the drag race I’ve been asking for!
There is a lot more to the GTA then what was said, and it is definitely worth the extra dineros. Exclusivity as well, because it is super rare. The quads are such beautiful machines that really entertain your soul.
Judging a track focused car on it’s straight line performance is not the best way to assess if it’s worth the price imo
Unfortunately, in this world filled with simple car enthusiasts that how many judge all cars.
Agree
not to mention lack of cheap piano plastic and ambient lighting and this dude in GTAM is joking about 150k price tag, because he thinks that Mercedes squeaky interiors are worth it but this track focused OG Alfa isnt...
@@lufetm on frikken point mate, for whatever reason he seems to suck balls when it comes to Mercedes and other German makes lol
It’s not 😊
I was waiting for this duel for long time 🔥🔥
Yep. Me too waited this quite a longtime somehow.
In a sea of AMG's, M's and RS, that thing really is lovely to look at!
Thanks to the CarWow team and crew, for a true Alfa Romeo annorak/ petrolhead video. Plus really informative comments and discussion in thread pertaining to it.
Made my day, just to see the headliner, here on RUclips, and then immerse oneself with mind and alert attention, watching it.
Great, great, great. Happy as a kite in steady winds !!!
It's so fun to see mat bring friends. Yianny, Mark, the German and spanish reviewers from carwow, his wife, his mom. Waiting for his kid to be old enough to take on Mat. 😂 would be funny to see mat drag race his own kid.
Mat and Yianni are such iconic friends in Carwow indeed.
🤣🤣🤣
Mkay
Sam in the Porche?
He would still choose the fastest car for himself
Love the engine sound 👌!
Yep. Its god tiered.
It's another insane Alfa Romeo drag race after a long time!
🤞👍☄insane 💤💤
Second and third race right before the races began, best exhaust sound ever heard on car wow 😭🙌
Everyone needs to look into the Giulia and Alfa Romeo more! Amazing cars
man i love that v6 sound 😍
The V6 has 400+ bhp...
@@purwantiallan5089 500+
There are no words just how beautiful Giulia is
The price is also tht high due to the GTA nameplate. It is pretty legendary with the 147 GTA and 156 GTA having the busso V6. It was also present on older models which have aged quite well.
The old GTA cars from the 60's were very successful race cars, people forget Alfa Romeo were once a dominant force in racing.
@@thebarront9889 Yes, that too
Love the Giulia and always love seeing you two guys both in the drag races !!!
Midweek upload woop woop 🎉
Maybe wrap it too?
'' I ain't gonna lie, I don't even know what I'm driving, I just got in the car, I just know it's green😂''
Who are you?
I absolutely love the Giulia. The blue looks phenomenal
GREEN
@@Dcffin ahaha to you mean? In the video there are a blue and a yellow Giulia
@@Dcffin so they don't make a blue at all? Obviously they do Just saying blue is my favorite color on the Giulia. and the green that you say is green looks teal to me in the thumbnail but regardless like I said the blue Giulia looks the best. For DC specifically, the blue Giulia that is not in this video looks the best, man I'm glad I'm not a sour a$$ like u
@@MatteoLorandi mate I think you're colourblind
The green is alfas best color mate..
The race I've been waiting to see
I love how this car looks. Its such a pretty car
One of only few modern cars that I dream of 👌
I think it would be cool to see the speed of each car as they hit the quarter mile. Curious to know how much faster the GTA was as they crossed the line
Yanni being surprised by the Alfas pricetag is a bit funny. Doesn't he drive an overpriced Q8? 😆
Yianni drives an overpriced Skoda.
No other car I wanted own so much as Quadrifoglio.
Yay free prizes with absolutely no strings attached or ulterior motives 🙌🏼
The sound of Giulia's V6 is always music in my ears...😁😁😁...Alfa forever the Best...👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻...also with the new headlights now...🤩🤩🤩...🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹...
Best car ever. I actually own the car you tested a few years ago including the drag race win over the M3 and C63

One of my two favorite car ever. If you have the money to buy one please buy one and support Alfa and sports cars in general!!!
Alfas only worth 110k euros at best.
I have the money - and I wouldn't have one for free. Borderline junk.
@@ngc-fo5te u must be a child then
@@ngc-fo5te what do you drive then rich kid?😂
@@ngc-fo5te have you driven one? One of the absolute best sedans ever made. There’s only two four door cars faster around the nordschleife. When it came out it set the record. Tesla model s plaid that came out this year is still slower around
I want to see a Gulia vs Stelvio drag race along with the Stelvio and Maserati Levante.
Love the noise, keep these up
As far as I know the standard Giulia Q doesn't have launch control. Only the GTA(m). My Stelvio Q also doesn't have it, but in the end with brake boost it's alright. Still quick as hell, especially with a minor tune to 580HP!
Is there difference between GTA and GTAm?
@@LIl-bl9ut Not in the electronics. On the options yes.
@@LIl-bl9ut yes, GTAm is a 2 seater with Sabelt bucket seats, roll cage and big rear wing; the GTA has a full interior with front Sparco carbon seats but a rear lip spoiler (that is bigger than that on the Quadrifoglio). Both share the same more powerful engine and wider wheel tracks and carbon arches plus revised bumper bars by Sauber, compared to the Quadrifoglio.
Thought same. The GTA quarter mile time is the same as Matt got from a Stelvio Q obviously with 4wd…
I played a drinking game, and drank every time you guys said "tickle". I'm hammered now
I really want to say, THANK YOU for those speedometer cameras! I don't know if I am the only one who likes to see all the little touches, like the four leaf clover inside the cluster, but I love to see 'em!
Killer Races when Mat and Yianni are racing each other
155k is expensive, but 155k every other mass produced sportcar will start to lose value. This GTA will keep it's value!
exactly, they don't understand this and surely over time it will acquire even more value!
@@Alexis82 exactly
It's overpriced now. Nobody is going to buy it over a GT3 911.
Shame the GTA doesn't have the slightly rotated quad exhausts, so beautiful on the original QV
my new fav Drag of 2022 always love Alfa Romeo Gulia Quadrifoglios

Great drag race.
The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio and Giulia GTA are the two best sport sedans on the market. In the same category no other brand have such engines and character.
$900 tune on the red one will fix that right up.
Just saw Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA in the City Center of Frankfurt near the Opera Place (Opernplatz) and damn, it looks and sounds even better in Person than in Videos.
In general i feel you should never judge the Looks or the Sound of a Car from Videos and Pictures alone.
So many Cars look really great in Person but meh on Pictures. Best Example: Big Grille M4. On Pictures and in Videos i thought "Looks ugly" then i saw the Car in Person a few Times and now i like how it looks and seeing it parked next to Audi and their gigantic Grilles (which People hated at first too back when Audi turned from Small Grille to Huge Grillle) it puts things into Perspective
Yeah this is 1000% true, the new M3/M4s actually look incredible in person.. Complete opposite in photos though very strange
“Uuuhh, little tickle worked well” Always does mate, always does 😂😂
Absolutely. It was a track focused sport car ever like m4 gts/csl or xe sv project 8.
Such an amazing car. Gonna get myself a Veloce first, then the Quadrifoglio
I love this car so much at every aspect, perfect italian creation
If Audi wouldnt exist, Id be driving that GTA ☺ . What a car! Love it
No Audi saloon is better than that GTA
Happy straightlining and understeering, Audi 😀
@@jamesg1769 👍👍👍💯
Find me one saloon Audi better looking than the GTA bimmer fan here
So you are an Audi fan?
BTW you should equalize the drivers weights with sand bags or whatever to be fair.
I own a stock QV and a 550hp RS3. While the RS3 is faster on straight roads or wet conditions, the QV is way more exclusive and loves curves in dry conditions, it's the driver's car.
And: Owning the RS3 for 3 years mostly Porsche guys came across and asked why the RS3 is so incredibly fast. Owning the QV for 3 weeks, already 3 random people from the streets came across and told me how AMAZING this car is. It seems that the QV is coming along with a very positive image.
On the Autobahn people earlier are clearing my lane when I am arriving at high speed in the Alfa, compared to same situations in the RS3. So the QV seems to look somehow faster in the mirror (possibly because it is simply bigger than the RS).
As a summation, I LOVE BOTH so much. The Alfa is the beauty, the RS3 is the badass beast. Can't sell one. No way.
Alfa is stepping up the game lately ,really good cars , nice to see Yianni racing with you Mat ,keep it up .💪🏼
Yep. The car looked cool.
if lately you mean 2015-17. sadly not a great deal of interest and arguably poor marketing
Lately? They've always been fantastic
I'm so glad we can still have fun like this, you two have me cracking up.😂
The edit at 3:59 was very clever, well done:)
well spotted
I’ve never been so more “tickled” watching a car video 😂
An example of Yianni completely and utterly destroying Matthew without him being able to defend his ego 😂
These Alfa Romeos will go down history as one of the best performance sedans this current generation has witnessed. Just pure beauty & performance. Oh and that noise! We need to give Alfa a standing ovation for what they've done.
I’d say it’s worth it but not for the extra performance, it’s worth it because of the exclusivity of it. It’s a really cool car that’s going to be extremely rare!
This is just a far more desirable car than the M4 AMG or the RS4 these are absolutely brilliant
155k though, for that money you can get an r8 or porsche, the regular one is ok
@@mikecustoms Agreed. £155,000 is ridiculous money. Give me the regular one in black with red leather and I’m a happy camper.
It’s an appreciating asset. It’s only too expensive if you can’t afford it!
@@darrenedwards7078 “it’s only too expensive if you can’t afford it” your a financial wizard. It’s too expensive compared to the standard model and compared to Other vehicles in that price bracket it doesn’t represent good value. If you want an appreciating asset with 4 wheels you could buy plenty of cars from£155,000 that would give you a nice return far quicker than one of these. Don’t be talking marbles.
Gotta love Yianni, he's just thrown in the car 😆
Literally 😂
@@yiannimize the car quite literally cool.
Everytime I hear you plug Car Wow, I just think
“Carvana could never”
I recommend that Yano not holiday in Italy this Christmas. This opening remarks 😱😭😭😂
I seriously love Matt and Yianni combination. Just so amazing
those cars sound really good 👌🏻
So the "normal" Quadrifoglio weights less than the new M2..
The new M2 is shite
There’s quite a few things that make the GTA that but quicker. Carbon ceramic brakes weigh half that of the metal discs for starters. That’s less inertia in spool up, and down. (I’ve got them on my Giulia Quadrifoglio as an option, and it makes the car slightly lighter and more nimble/agile through the bends too.)
All adds up.
'Little tickle', 'simultaneously', 'for a big explosion'! Carwow innuendos galore!
Those are some beautiful cars 👌
Alfa V6 sounds brilliant
Too slow to comment. Am just going to enjoy the video
Many times Matt launches when the arms start to go down, I always thought it was when they're all the way down.
I love how these cars look, sporty and classie...
Awesome car!!!Best saloon on sale!!!❤️❤️❤️
I'd like to see a head to head based on price. I.e what's the quickest 60,000 or 150,000 car ect.
Probably a Tesla
@@lodevandenberg5361 only in a drag race, a quadrifoglio qv demolishes it everywhere else, braking, turning, top speed etc etc
Funnily enough I was checking reviews on this car not long ago and thought of this comparison. Thank you Matt. Essentially it is a Ferrari engine, 458 Italia plays a part in it and tuned by the same Ferrari engineer of California T, although Ferrari’s official stance is that they play no part it in lol. I’m a sucker for tan on green, so would love tan/saddle brown Italian leather on a green Guilia Quadrifoglio but that may compromise the weight reduction lol 😂 Alcantara is a great alternative. Your explicit jokes are getting out of hand Matt haha 😂 Great Comparison Thanks for creating this one Matt 😊
It's not a Ferrari engine, it's Alfa Romeo's 690T derived from Maranello's F154
@@nessuno5403You are right, it is Alfa Romeo engine. Like they’re an F1 Team they don’t need engines to be donated from other manufacturers lol. That was just a play of words in my head.
Ferrari actually played no part in the QV. As the engine never came from a ferrari.
Races with Yianni are always awesome
Not really an Alfa fan but I can’t deny that giulia gta is a good looking car!
The most beautiful sedan ever created. period.
Tbh I’d take either one of these over an M3 anyday
M3 comp all day everyday
I love how detached Yianni is from the world of cars despite some of the cars he owns 😂
I think he's brilliant!
Such a beautiful car love the clover rim design 😍
A 510hp Ferrari derived V6 for $60k is pretty damn impressive
Which is a misconception of it being related to ferrari. The engine is designed by an ex ferrari engineer but not a ferrari engine.
It would be interesting to throw a tuned QV in the mix for fun and see how it compares 🤔
Modified car testing is dumb - you can modify anything and everything and compared to stock, of course it will be faster, but will it have longevity?
@@nessuno5403 in this case it makes sense, and this channel has done similar tests. I'm not talking about some wild build, just an ecu reflash. Similar to what Dinan does with BMW.
@@MurderSTi I know they have done it before, but spend the same money modifying both cars and you still have one faster than the other
I think im high cause the thumbnail looked like 2 camry's
lol it’s so amusing the effort you take to scam people
This car is so much cooler than Bmw with ugly beaver face. It’s also by far one of the best handling sedans and also a car that left behind Panamera turbo and M4 for 13 seconds in Nurburgring. 13 seconds is like 13 years on race track. Show some respect to small company which managed to show huge ass fuck to big three by creating emotional, based on Ferrari engine car that outhandled everything else. Also, since GTA and GTam are all sold they already cost more than original price.
Porsche doesn't even make a car in the giulia class.
The regular Giulia Quadrifoglio doesn't cost 61.000 Pounds... Matt, Matt, Matt... , that's the prize for the Veloce 280 Bhp, The Quadrifoglio costs 94.000 pounds!!
We want the GTA m VS M4 CSL 🔥
i’ve been obsessed with the gulia quadrifoglio ever since my italian friend nicolo showed one to me back in 2019. too broke to afford one so thank you for this matt
