Alfa Romeo Guilia EV

I own a 911Twin Turbo, the 997 variant. As such, I have the great luck of enjoying all its glory, regularly; I love that car. Still, I get goosebumps thinking about the Giulia EV, Stellantis’s most ambitious product and successor to one of the finest-driving sports sedans of the 2010s. Arriving in 2026 on STLA Large’s 800V architecture, the Giulia must deliver both driver engagement and outright performance to honor its nameplate and the numbers suggest it might.

The Challenge

The original Giulia Quadrifoglio is beloved for its 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 and near-perfect chassis balance. Replicating that emotional connection in an EV is the central challenge. Alfa CEO Imparato’s commitment to a driver-focused cockpit minimal screen excess, analogue-feeling controls is the right instinct. The weight penalty of a large battery pack is the engineering obstacle; STLA Large’s underfloor packaging helps centralize mass, but a 118 kWh Giulia will be heavy.

What we like

A 1,000 hp Giulia QF would eclipse all of them in raw acceleration. Whether it can match the Taycan’s chassis sophistication or the BMW i4’s dynamic breadth is the key question. 

Rivals                   Range   Power     0-60    Price

Verdict

The most eagerly anticipated Stellantis EV — and the highest stakes. If Alfa nails the driving experience, it could be a landmark car.
