It was a 'passive' not an 'active' front splitter.. As vehicle speed increased, increasing air pressure forced it down and hydraulic cylinders pulled it up when the vehicle slowed. It was originally developed by Bertone who styled the Alfa 90.
In my opinion, the giulia is much more interesting than this list gives credit. Consider the following: The Guilia is the brainchild of two former Ferrari engineers- Philippe Krief, former Chief Technical Officer for Ferrari, who was the lead engineer on the Giulia, and Roberto Fedeli, Ferrari engineer of 26 years and chief engineer of the 458 and the LaFerrari. In fact, the Giulia's rear suspension geometry is based on the F430's. Both of the Giulia's US-spec engines are incredible. The 2.0T uses MultiAir technology, a beautifully simple yet extremely advanced type of variable valve timing by means of electro-hydraulic actuators, which allows valve duration and lift to change on a by-cylinder, by-stroke basis, something that is absolutely unique. MultiAir tech allows the motor to be extremely efficient and smooth for its size and output, while drastically reducing emissions. The QV's V6, the 690T, is also amazing. Although said to be a cut-down version of the Ferrari F154 in the 488 and California, it is actually in fact a clean-sheet design from the F154's designer, Gianluca Pivetti. Its unique odd firing order and exhaust design cut down on vibration, allow cylinder deactivation, and equalize exhaust pulses to improve turbo response. This is the reason it sounds much lower pitched than other v6s.
Some markets continue to get H-4 headlights as the base lighting units which explains the retention of the round cut-outs at the top of the bumper-shroud with the optional LED triple lighting units.
Cool, thanks. However, you say all models have remote start : mine from 2021 does not, even though it comes with many options. The key fob is missing the key.
I believe there’s still a way to remote start the car using the lock button by pressing and holding it, you should look at the owners manual and double check!
@@AllThingsCars2006 I checked again and there is no mention about it. The only thing it describes is how to open the trunk remotely (double press). I guess this is dependent on the location. I live in Europe, France, and the regulation may differ about it, or Alfa chose to not deploy it for security reasons (I don't know how it is where you leave, but here it's pretty dangerous when it comes to theft with violence).
The dongle may be called either a "remote" or a "key." A "fob" is a dangle [Note the difference in spelling.] of either fabric or leather used to retrieve the remote from one's pocket similar to those seen attached to pocket-watches. The "key" inside the remote is an emergency measure for opening the driver's door. It cannot be used to start the car. If that "key" is missing, your AR dealer's parts department can order a replacement for you. Reminder: It's the only way to get inside the vehicle if the car's battery is dead.
The car will put itself in park in any gear ex. If you are in D, N, R, or even Manual mode and you shut off the car without switching it to P, the car will automatically put itself in the parking gear and apply the Parking brake
@@AllThingsCars2006 gotcha and I just tested it on my Giulia and yep it even throws the shifter back into park by itself. Nice failsafe to keep it from ever rolling away.
I BOUGHT A LOVELY DARK BLUE VELOCE, AND HAVE HAD IT SEVERAL MONTHS! IT IS A LOVELY CAR, ALTHOUGH i HAD A 2013 CAMARO SS PREVIOUSLY! I HAVE A PROBLEM...HOW DO I LOCK CAR BUT HAVE NO ALARM (DOGS INSIDE!), AND WHY DOES MY WINDSHIELD WASHERS NOT SQUIRT? (I FILLED BOTTLE UP!).
Hmm not sure what the issue could be. When it comes to the lock, these cars can be picky about a lot of movement inside a locked car as it triggers the antitheft systems, especially if you have the windows rolled down at all or the sunroof open. As far as the washers go, make sure your washer jets are clean and clear in the wiper shroud and that nothing is blocking the fluid from spraying out. I hope this helps a little.
The Alfa 75 had active aerodynamics in a similar way with a dropping front splitter in the 1980s. Alfa always does something cool.
@pereldh5741 you're right, my mistake!

Thanks for sharing this, I agree with you that the Giulia is truly something special!
great video 🔥the AMG GT 4 door & Porsche Panamera also have active aero on a 4 door luxury performance vehicle
Yes true! Although those are a special kind of sedan aren’t they!
The front fog lights only come with cars that don’t have bi Xenon lights

Didnt know that the windows can be rolled down with remote...will have to try this today.
How do you do that?
Cool, thanks.

Australian models do not have remote start. You can remote lower all windows though
@jc.baptiste ahhh ok, yes European models are often different, my apologies! Thanks for the info!

I bet you didn’t know that if you’re in manual mode and are ready to turn off the car you can just hit the off button and it will auto park it’s self!
Hahah you’re right, that’s a cool one I might have to try!
What you mean?

Just tried it.. it doesn't put the windows down
Yea I’ve had some trouble with it myself, but I’ve seen it done on a few different videos
yes it does
