Alfa Romeo May Be Working On a 350HP Giulia Veloce To Challenge The S4

If you find the base, 280 horsepower Giulia lacking in grunt but the 'Ring-ruling, 505-horsepower Quadrifoglio a little out of reach, it looks like Alfa Romeo is cooking up a Goldilocks-approved version of its sports sedan just for you. 

Taking to Twitter, auto writer Bozi Tatarevic spotted what appears to be a 350 hp, turbocharged, 2.0-liter engine option for the 2018 Giulia on FCA's service webpage, Mopar Tech Authority. This perfectly corroborates the long-running rumor of a Giulia "Veloce" slotting in between the base model and top dog Quadrifoglio, a car that would make for a nice Italian foil to the BMW M340i, Audi S4, Mercedes-AMG C43, et al.

350 bhp out of a 2.0 liter, I'm sure that will help Alfa reliability problems.

A better move would have been to drop the base Maserati twin turbo V6 in Giulia.

More Alfacrap and no new Dodges or Chryslers...

Makes sense. A chicken for every pot. I wonder now if they will do a coupe version of it a-la BMW.

A Giulia coupe should be the next new model Alfa debuts probably by Geneva in March.

Yes. By all means! Let's waste money on creating a coupe for the dead coupe market. The Giulia need to be "Dart-ed". It's a substandard product that sells poorly. Kill it like the Dart and 200.

What needs to put out of its misery is Chrysler and Dodge. Marchionne’s Biggest mistake is spending to much time in Auburn Hills, the Germans avoided doing that for a reason.

I am eagerly awaiting the 5-door hatchback version - ala Audi A5 Sportback and BMW 640i GranTurismo.

Maybe that is the next thing they will waste resources on?
