阿尔法罗密欧Giulia系列之间有很大差距，其中欧版的Giulia（欧洲市场称为Veloce）功率为206千瓦/276马力，而美版的Super功率为380千瓦/505马力。阿尔法计划用261千瓦/350马力的一款车型来填补这个空间。车厂推出这款中级车型是合情合理的，因为它的主要竞争者都有类似车型。这款350马力Giulia配备自动变速箱和四驱系统，在美国市场将作为Giulia Veloce销售。有趣的是，该车将称为同级车型中的一款独立车型，该车只搭载2.0升四缸引擎，而其他同级车型搭载的都是3.0升六缸引擎。这将使其处于不利局面。虽然它的输出功率超过竞争车型，但扭矩不够。

 

Alfa set to launch 350 hp Giulia Veloce

There’s a rather large gap in the Alfa Romeo Giulia range. That’s the gap between the 276 horsepower (206 kilowatts) Giulia known as Veloce in Europe and Super in the United States, and the 505 hp (380 kW) Giulia Quadrifoglio.

 

But it seems Alfa is set to plug the gap with a 350 hp (261 kW) model. Such an “inbetween” model would make sense as all of the Giulia’s key rivals have a similar offering. Autoevolution turned up further evidence in the form of a document indicating that a 350 hp Giulia equipped with an automatic gearbox and four-wheel-drive will sold as the Giulia Veloce in the United States. But what drivetrain options there might be in Europe, and what the car might be called there, is anyone’s guess at the moment.

 

Interestingly, the Giulia Veloce would stand alone in its class as the only 2.0-liter, four-cylinder contender - the others all use 3.0-liter, six-cylinder units. That could put it at a disadvantage straight away. Though it's power output is more than competitive, it will probably produce less torque.
