Watch An Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Bang Out A Stunning 7:32 'Ring Lap

The ladies and gents at Alfa Romeo were no doubt furious when Porsche announced that its new Panamera Turbo had lapped the Nurburgring in 7min and 38sec. That pipped the Giulia Quadrifoglio’s own time by just one second, making the Panamera the fastest production saloon around the Norschleife. Just a few months later, and Alfa has smashed that time with an incredible 7min 32sec effort. And unlike Porsche, Alfa has actually given us the full onboard lap to enjoy.

It’s running the eight-speed automatic gearbox rather than the six-speed manual, while we’re assuming the car is completely standard other than the GoPros and gaffer tape. As a reminder, the Quadrifoglio packs a 2.9-litre V6 kicking out 503bhp, making 0-62mph possible in just 3.9 seconds.
