Giulia Alfa Romeo Giulia renders look too good to be true

[Bronx13]

Independent designer Thorsten-Krisch is sharing his vision of the highly anticipated2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia.

A couple of days ago we published the first batch of spy shots with Alfa Romeo's brand new Giulia compact sedan but unfortunately it was only a test mule wearing a weird shortened Maserati Ghibli body.

Now, automotive mechanic and independent car designer Thorsten-Krisch decided to take matters into his own hands and render the car's styling in the hotter Quadrifoglio Verde specification. The end result is something many will wish to see in Alfa Romeo's official images of the long-awaited BMW 3-Series fighter.

We remind you Fiat Chrysler Group head of global design, Lorenzo Ramaciotti, said the 2016 Giulia represents a "styling challenge" and "has to be remarkable but stand the test of time." The model will effectively fill in the gap left by the 159's demise and has already been previewed by last year's Giulia concept designed by Alfa Styling Center in collaboration with students from the European Design Institute.

If everything goes as planned, the Alfa Romeo Giulia is scheduled to go on sale as a 2016 model year so most likely it will revealed within the next twelve months.

Date Reportedly Set for Reveal of New Alfa Romeo Mid-Sized Sedan

A Maserati Ghibli-based mule was spotted last month, and it seems that it really was a precursor for an all-new rear-driven Alfa Romeo sedan.

At least that’s what AutoEdizione is saying, calling it “Progetto 952” – we know it as “Giulia.” Now, they’re also adding a reveal date for the model, or a close-to-production preview of it, set for June 24, 2015, coinciding with the day Alfa turns 105.

It would be a fitting anniversary present for the ailing, virtually non-existent brand, not only because it’s a highly anticipated new model, but also due to the fact it’s turning out to be rear-wheel drive, after all.

The announcement was apparently made by Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne, who recently also took over the reigns at Ferrari and announced there were going to be some strategy changes.

Maybe now his promises made over three years ago will materialize – he said they’d have visible results in the year 2015, and he’s still got time to prove himself right.

This car is long overdue, the poor 159 is already 9 years old and although its still a stunning saloon to look at it is terribly off the high mark set by the German class leaders. I really hope they will bring this car next year to restore the Alfa enthusiasts pride in the marque which has been at a low since mid 2000's. If it looks as good as the renders then I will be hugely delighted as it will be the best looking car in this segment once again. If they can sort out the engineering and concentrate on producing a great driving chassis and stylish good quality interior we will have a potential 3 series rival!

I don't believe in anything coming from Marchionne. All these years hearing the same histories over and over, and just getting infinite delays. And when finally introduced a new car, they give us the 4C: ultralight, mid engined, turbo'ed, RWD yet not faster on track than a Megane Rs or León Cupra...

I'm done with Alfa/Fiat, as much as I want to have an Italian car (a blood thing) they don't deserve my support. I've always had a soft spot for the underdogs, that's why I bought a Fiat two years ago and a Renault a year ago, but next time I won't comming back to Fiat/Alfa, my money will be going to Peugeot/Citroën who are making properly interesting cars, despite their economic situation and keep fighting.

A sad realization indeed when one considers what has become of the once exceedingly proud marque from Milano.

In the early 1970s', a cousin of mine owned two Giulia 1600ti sedans. The first one red with black leather, the second dark green with tan leather. I was in my late teens and had just gotten my drivers' license. But cuz occasionally let me behind the wheel. Experiences that I have not forgotten. Somewhat later, a good friend of mine owned a 2000 GTV Bertone coupe. Tomato red. What a car !

Hey man, I hear you. At least this time we get to see real mules ...hang in there

The 60's, 70's and early 80's was where Alfa was at its best, they made really beautiful, passionate cars, with outstanding powertrains and great to drive handling and road holding. The Giulia 1.3/1.6 was a great car and also I loved the 1750 and 2000 GT, not to mention the Giuletta and Spider from the 70's/80's and the Alfetta. These cars had so much character. The performance and noise from their Weber Carb motors was class leading and so enjoyable, music to the ears. Only things that let these cars down was bad rust and electrical problems and some cases gearbox/clutch problems.

I wish Fiat would open their eyes and invest more money into getting that brand to its best again. I sure do miss that

I think Fiat money went for many years to Ferrari, and now for Chrysler. They have completely forgot about Lancia, Alfa and even Fiat itself, with very old cars still in production and no replacement coming soon: Punto from 2005, 500 and Bravo from 2007.

Its sad why Fiat wasted their money with Chrysler, look what crap cars came from them in the last 15years. Lancia, Alfa and Fiat were all passionate and beautiful cars in the 60's, 70's and early 80's. I remember the Lancia Flavia (what a beautiful looking car), the Delta (great hatch in the 80's, Intergrale was and still is one of the best hot hatches ever), Lancia Thema (fantastic saloon came out in mid 80's, that car was so good that they put the 3.0 V8 from the Ferrari 308 into it. The 2.0 Turbo was a sensation). Fiat had the 124, 128 and 131 in 70's and early 80's, had great sporty engines with so much character and were very successful in motorsports in South Africa. Then Alfa, so many classics. The last great car they made in my opinion was the 156 saloon from the late 90's to early 2000's. The current 159 and Brera both beautiful cars but blunted by bad engineering, too heavy weight and cramped cabins compared to rivals.
