In photos: Alfa Romeo's all new 510-hp sedan is revealed
There is no information on its displacement, but the Ferrari-derived, twin-turbocharged, all-aluminum V-6 under the hood will send 510 horsepower to its rear wheels, an astounding 85 more than the BMW M3, the Giulia’s obvious rival in both size and performance. With an all-new aluminum chassis helping achieve a 2.99 weight-to-horsepower ratio (which puts the car at 1,525 kilograms on our calculator), the Giulia will get to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds.
