Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio What is it?
Bloody fast, that’s what it is! Now I’ve got the obvious out of the way, where do I begin? Well, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio is without doubt one of the most exciting and intoxicating SUVs on sale today. To create this high-performance machine, Alfa engineers have based it on their equally supreme Guilia Quadrifoglio, using the same chassis and fire-breathing monster that is the 510bhp 2.9-litre twin-turbocharged petrol V6. Incidentally, the V6 was designed by former Ferrari engineer, Gianluca Pivetti. Performance figures speak for themselves, with a 0-62mph time of just 3.8 seconds and an eye-watering top speed of 176mph, this is super car territory, not SUV. But on paper that’s all well and good, but how does it perform in the real world?
