After a fairly disappointing return to sports cars with the carbon-tubbed Alfa 4C, the Italian manufacturer has come back with a 503bhp super saloon ready to put the German powerhouses to the sword.

Watch as our favourite Top Gear presenter performs his usual sideways action around Alfa’s own test track to see how the Giulia Quadrifoglio shapes up against the BMW M3 and the C63 AMG.

Nooo I can’t watch it because i’m in school :( can somebody tell me what he thinks about it?

One sentence from the TG Mag when he took it out for a drive: ‘Look at that badge, look at that stance, think I want one.’

Its not as good as an M3, but he still likes it a lot

Now all they have to do is make an Estate version

They need to make this happen

I want one. Someone get me one.

Should be the car of the year.

Want to hear a joke about Alfa Romeo?
Hold on, I’m working on it!

Initially I was like “Why is the FIRST episode of Chris Harris Drives featured after such a long time?” then I saw the date it was uploaded to YouTube…

WHAT?! Have you lost your mind m8?

It was horrible(The 4C, the Giulia’s great)! It essentially understeered AND Oversteered, not a good sign already. It would weave under braking…You can’t tell me that you’d still forgive it if the Unassisted Steering tried to pull you from the road and into a hedge! Even the ‘Comfort’ setting(No anti-roll bar and some other stuff) fixed…Precisely…None of these things.

The 4c looked great but to actually live with it was super hard work which was such a shame as it had so much promise to be a great drivers car.

It has three pedals. Sign me up!!

‘The shift isn’t precise, clutch travel is too long, and generally there’s a disconcerting lack of connection. Ollie (Marriage) drove the ZF 8-spd Auto, and said it was great, and he knows his onions, so I believe him.’ —Harris.
