Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Manual

Green clover, red soul and three pedals. This Giulia Quadrifoglio Manual is the purist's choice: Alfa Romeo's most sporting saloon with a clutch and a six-speed lever, an increasingly rare and sought-after combination.

The 2.9 twin-turbo V6, derived from Ferrari's F154 twin-turbo V8, delivers 510 PS at 6,500 rpm and 600 Nm, always to the rear wheels. The ZF manual gearbox turns every downshift into a small ritual. This 2018 example has covered 40,000 km.

It was with a manual gearbox that the Giulia Quadrifoglio lapped the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 7 minutes 39 seconds, a record for a saloon. In September 2016 the automatic cut that to 7 minutes 32 seconds. The model was unveiled in 2015, on the brand's 105th anniversary.
