Individuals who have been following the buzz surrounding Alfa Romeo’s upcoming 3 Series-fighter might notice that today is the supposed day that the Italian carmaker will reveal its latest creation, supposedly dubbed the Alfa Romeo Giulia – though we’re not too sure if that’s the exact name for it.
Well, to further build on the hype regarding the Giulia, it would appear that several leaked live shots of the car and even a digital render or two have been leaked online, the latter materialising on Carscoop‘s site merely hours after the live shots were revealed. Also, in one particular picture, the ‘Giulia’ tag can be clearly marked out, going against earlier reports that the car could arrive with a different name.
Unfortunately, the second live photo that shows the car’s profile is a tad low on quality but most would be able to deduce the fact that the car is equipped with Alfa’s trademark telephone-dial wheels. Of more interest is that unmistakable Quadrifoglio Verde (QV) badge that’s bolted on top of the front wheel arch.
Check out one of the aforementioned digital renders and you’ll even be able to see exactly where that badge sits – the QV badge is not included in the render but one can mark out the triangular cutout for where it is placed. Speaking of the renders, the duo of supposed interior shots show a driver-oriented cabin, replete with a touchscreen system and deep-set instrument clusters.
Under the bonnet, multiple reports are already claiming that the 2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia will arrive powered by a range of turbocharged four- and six-cylinder petrol engines. The former is said to be an all-new, Maserati-developed “high-output four-cylinder engine” that will replace the 1750 TBi in the Alfa Romeo 4C – said engine is touted to produce up to 298 hp.
The V6 engine will likely be based on the mill found in the rumoured Ferrari Dino – the twin-turbocharged unit is expected to produce around 500 hp in the Ferrari but will be reworked for its application in the Giulia. More information is expected to follow, so stay tuned for updates.

Wow! Muscular Italia.. can it beat M3, ISF and C63? hmm.. let’s wait..
That will have to depend on whether it’s still holding onto Alfa Romeo’s tradition of producing FF cars.
no FF for this car..only FR and AWD…
That’s why I said it depends whether it’s built according to Alfa Romeo’s tradition. I, too, hope it’s not.
Btw, how do you know that?
Its true for the past 25 years, most Alfas are FF.
But Alfa have been around for 80 years making FR cars before that.
The word tradition is wrong in this context.
They did announced it previously..now that what we call a true alfas..back to the oldies..
hope that the engine develope by ferrari will helps them to face the germans M & amg…
looks like it will be a lot better in term of design than the new a4..
The first Ferrari was an Alfa. Engine and all.
Gorgeous….
droll, italians always have the nice butts..
wow nice looking, looks muscular…cant wait for the reveal
the back of the car looks like a maserati grand turismo….
second that!!
while most of the ppl thought that the rear looks like kia, my 1st impression was it does looks like the gran turismo..
I just jizzed in my pants. Those curves and details. THe backlights look like K5 from those angles.
Looks like Alfa’s design is inspired by Mazda design.
That is a strong statement.fanatics might find it sacrilegious.but from these spyshots u are right.
But to think of it,ghibli does have hint of kia at their rear light.
Ohhh, my. That is so sexy. Can’t wait to see the real deal.
Waiting for Maserati version of this.
my toyota camry better
Better at putting people to sleep.
Better for the old and daft.
WOW SEXAYYY!!!
I’m quite excited to wait for the official unveiling, although a bit disappointed that the rear lights has a bit of Korean car design cues. I was expecting a more original & truly Italian style front/rear lights..
Mamma mia molto bella!
i thought it was a kia k5 facelifted model when i first looked at the tail light n came to realize it was a alfa romeo.
Look at the rear passenger air cond vents!! I thought i saw a superbike there! NICE !
wow body look like my persona….demm hott
no need to buy expensive alfa no more…..just buy plotong would do….hehehe
If only I got one ringgit each time some new car is billed as a ‘3-series fighter’ …
the platform is shared with the ghibli, even the mule was a ghibli…
The italians are sharing components more than ever, like the germans…
Alas…the QV badged guilia will sport a ferrai developed turbocharged v6 producing north of 450bhp, rwd n quad exhaust to rival the m3…
A tall order since the new m3 is all grown up with extra cushy interior…
The rendering of the giula looks cheap and nasty, hopefully the real thing sports genuine italian cow hide….
Welcome back to form for alfas…
Hopefully naza italia will bring them over…
This car looks amazing…
Accordana is better
