Ferrari have recently shared with MotorMartin the rather exciting news that fresh from the Italian Grand Prix, Ferrari Racing Team drivers Sebastian Vettel, Kimi Räikkönen and Antonio Giovinazzi have swapped their scarlet F1 race car for a spin in the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, the marque’s most powerful production car ever made.
They have confirmed that their thrilling film shows the three Ferrari drivers behind the wheel of the Giulia Quadrifoglio – which can achieve a rather incredible top speed of 191 mph and zero to 62mph sprint in 3.9 seconds – racing around Alfa Romeo’s famous Balocco (Vercelli) test track just days after the Grand Prix in Monza. Stunning.
Former F1 World Champions Vettel – who secured a third place podium spot at the weekend – and Räikkönen and stablemate Giovinazzi got the full Giulia Quadrifoglio experience revelling in its unrivalled saloon power thanks to the car’s 2.9-litre Bi-Turbo V6 engine and 510hp.
The sports sedan, Alfa Romeo say, is no stranger to blazing a trail, previously setting a blistering Nürburgring lap record for its category of 7 minutes 32 seconds. Watch the Giulia Quadrifoglio in action below as in MotorMartin’s opinion it’s quite stunning.
