Billed as a mid-size SUV, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio is a mighty proposition. Priced at £69,500 on the road, this performance biased motor is powered by a 2.9-litre V6 Bi-Turbo petrol engine. Whilst it may not be climbing up any mountains any time soon, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio will beat most other cars off the line.
A real benefit is the innovative Q4 all-wheel drive system, to offer a potent combination of unbeatable performance, traction, driving pleasure and safety in all situations. In normal conditions, the Q4 system transfers 100 percent of the torque to the rear axle. As the wheels approach their grip limit, the system transmits up to 50 percent of the torque to the front axle in real time, by means of a transfer case.
The 2.9 V6 Bi-Turbo petrol engine in the Stelvio Quadrifoglio led the car to set a new lap record at the legendary Nurburgring. Delivering maximum power of 510hp at 6,500rpm and generation a maximum torque of 600Nm from 2,500 to 5,000rpm, the car is capable of sprinting from zero to 62mph in just 3.8 seconds and on to a top speed of more than 176mph, helping it to achieve a lap time of just 7minutes 51.7 seconds. This power plant is teamed with a specifically calibrated eight-speed automatic transmission that allows gear shifts in just 150 milliseconds in Race mode.
