We’ve been following Chris Harris for some time now, from his earlier days at Autocar and Evo through the Drive channel he helped get off the ground.
Now he’s at Top Gear and this is the first video in his new series Chris Harris Drives – and it’s only fitting that the car he reviews is Italian, rear-wheel drive and wit more than 500 PS on tap.
Alfa’s new Giulia Quadrifoglio wants to go head to head with the BMW M3 and Mercedes-AMG C63, injecting a welcome dose of Italian style into the segment. It boasts a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 developed by Ferrari rated at 503 HP (510 PS) that are channeled to the rear wheels through either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic gearbox.
There’s a lot to love, then, about Alfa’s new Cloverleaf – but how does it measure up against the Germans? Harris delivers his verdict.
