When it comes to exciting cars of 2015, the all-new Alfa Romeo Giulia is up there at the top of the list. Mind you, what the Italian manufacturer presented at the Museo Storico Alfa Romeo is the range-topping and BMW M3-rivaling Quadrifoglio Verde model.
QV is the Alfa Romeo way of saying “twin-turbo Ferrari V6 under the hood, bro! You ain’t got nuthin’ on that!” Without considering the performance potential of 510 horsepower, what if the Giulia was an entry-level model? How would it be without the look-at-my-biceps visuals? Omniauto.it posed the same question.
Yes, in a daring attempt to have their 15 minutes of fame, Alfa Romeo launched the 159-replacing Giulia sedan in the maddest and fastest variant available. The thing is, the Giulia launch event didn’t feature any base models, nor any photographs of what the executive sedan would look like in no-frills clothing.
The Italian publication’s rendering tries to answer that mystery through the power of imagination and mad Photoshop skills. Omniauto’s renderer did the obvious pixel work to turn the Giulia QV into the base Giulia: less aggressive chicken wire, fog lights, no active aerodynamics, no vents in the bonnet, no carbon fiber side skirts, no fancy alloy wheels and carbon ceramic brakes from Brembo. Nothing at all. But damn it's neat!
If the publication’s rendering will be mirrored by the yet-to-be-revealed base Alfa Romeo Giulia, that would be fab. Look at it and imagine a base BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class or Audi A4 standing next to it. That’s the magic of the Alfa Romeo Giulia’s design - the ability to look great even on a bad hair day.
