Alfa Romeo Giulia QV Faster Than M4 Round The ‘Ring By 13 Seconds
By Paulo Acoba
Alfa Romeo has said that its Alfa Romeo Giulia QV ran the Nurburgring in a record time of 7:39.
People who say that Nurburgring times don’t matter obviously don’t know the power of the human ego and simple bragging rights. Earlier today (Sept. 15, 2015) Alfa Romeo introduced their Alfa Romeo Giulia QV to a Frankfurt audience and not only did they announce the price of the Giulia, they also added an official ‘Ring lap time. The Alfa Romeo Giulia QV can officially run the Nurburgring in a blistering time of 7 minutes and 39 seconds which puts it a clear 13 seconds ahead of its main rival at the moment, the BMW M4 who ran the Nurburgring last year and posted a best time of 7 minutes and 52 seconds.
