Alfa Romeo is a brand that is known to make some pretty cars. Zagato, the legendary Italian coachbuilder, shares the same reputation. So what happens when these firms with a keen eye for design get together? The answer is this, the Alfa Romeo Giulia SWB Zagato coupe.
Alfa Romeo, Fiat-Chrysler’s second-tier luxury brand that’s in comeback mode, dropped a bomb when their new rear-wheel-drive Giulia Quadrofoglio became the quickest sedan to lap the ‘Ring (at least at the time). While the hype from that 2015 run has faded, we finally got our hands on it to see if this car will save Alfa.
Alfa Romeo showed off their all-new 2016 Giulia compact sedan at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show. Only the range-topping Quadrifoglio version was on display from the lineup and the Italian manufacturer announced that it had set an impressive lap time around the Nurburgring in 7 minutes and 39 seconds.
