Italian automobile major Alfa Romeo has pulled the wraps off its sedan Giulia, powered by a six-cylinder 510 HP turbo petrol engine capable of zooming from 0 to 100km/h in 3.9 seconds.
Touted to be fuel efficient with an electronically controlled cylinder deactivation system, the all-aluminium engine is claimed to offer a reduction of weight on the front axle and add to its sound effect.
Besides, the materials and weights have been adjusted in such a way to enable an even distribution of weight across the symmetry between two axles.
While a multilink solution has been provided for ensuring a comfortable suspension for the rear axle, a double wishbone fitted with semi-virtual steering axis has been supplied to generate the filtering effect for rapid and accurate steering.
Besides, the new avatar has 'torque vectoring' under its specifications that provide the rear differential with a double clutch to regulate the torque delivery to the wheels individually.
Giulia also flaunts an integrated brake system encompassing an electromechanical system that marries stability control with a traditional servo brake for response in an instant.
There is also an 'active aero splitter' managing downforce for ensuring better grip even at high speed. All the features mentioned above are run by Chassis Domain Control at the on-board electronics which channelizes optimization of the system.
The new vehicle, with a weight-to-power ratio lower than 3kg/hp, also displays driving modes - Dynamic, Natural, Advanced Efficient and Racing - integrated under the Alfa DNA.
