My choice of specification was in the region of £65k. Didn’t want the shell seats due to not being electric ,but add 2k for those if necessary. Bearing in mind I would personally get a £7k contribution due to my line of work and a good finance rate, for me it would be a no-brainer over any £55k Audi which doesn’t attract anywhere near the same financial incentives. Add to that – with the Quadrifoglio you are getting a purpose built, from the ground up, 500bhp supercar. The Giulia range of cars is based upon the Quadrifoglio. Unlike the Audi and BMW equivalents which are designed and built as basic models and then the Quattro and M divisions take the basic car and modify them with upgrades.

Cracking stablemates. Can’t help but think the Quadrifoglio needs a rear badge to identify it to lesser mortals (non-petrolheads). (You and I know what it is due to the carbon spoiler blade and quad exhausts and FULLY FUNCTIONAL PROPER diffuser)

Apparently the manual gearbox is rubbish and the reason that Alfa UK has gone for the spec it has for the UK. Truly, the UK spec is far superior to most other countries, which must add a whole heap of expensive extras to come to the same spec as a UK car.
I’m a manual gearbox car by preference. However, the 8 speed auto did actually win me over. The solid milled aluminium shift levers are exquisite.
Regarding the Audi RS3, it is practically in the same sector as the Mk3 RS, just much, much more expensive. Audi probably faster by a small amount in the traffic light sprint, which is galling, because we all know the Focus is, overall, probably faster over a country route and a *lot* more enjoyable to drive in the process. But still you’ll get Audi bell-whacks actually believing they’re superior because of the stupid little sprint they enjoy. (Same as the BMW M and Merc AMG drivers I witness on regular occasions driving utterly brainlessly ).
Yours Aye
