Alfa Romeo is at the heart of a technical debate. The Italian brand's transition to electric power, symbolized by the future Alfa Romeo Stelvio and Giulia, scheduled for 2025 and 2026, is raising questions, not least because of comparisons with the Alfa Romeo.he new Dodge Charger and its platform. The latter, using 400V architecture, has raised doubts about Alfa Romeo's ability to deliver on its promise of a 0 to 100 km/h time of less than 3 seconds. Alfa Romeo has responded by reassuring its fans and car enthusiasts.
The future Giulia, as well as the new Stelvio due in 2025, will be the first Stellantis vehicles to adopt the latest technology. the STLA Large platform, with 800V electrical architecture. This technology not only promises faster recharging, but also a range of up to 700 km, marking a significant advance over 400V architecture. What's more, these models will feature the new STLA Brain software architecture, with a proprietary operating system, whose presentation is scheduled for June at the next Stellantis Investor Day.
Alfa Romeo CEO Jean-Philippe Imparato stressed the importance of this development, saying that the Giulia and Stelvio will not just be another electric car on the market. They represent the brand's ambition to stand out with unique features, enhanced energy efficiency, and a revolutionary user experience (UX) thanks to comprehensive "over the air" updates, a cloud platform for data archiving, and on-demand services.
Despite the technical similarities with the Dodge Charger Daytona, Imparato insisted that the Giulia would be fundamentally differentthanks to the flexibility offered by the STLA Large platform. This will enable Alfa Romeo to offer a car that not only achieves its performance targets, but also astonishes with its qualities.
Imparato talks a lot. I get the impression that's all he's paid for.
Imparato would do better to concentrate on offering hybrid engines, rather than promising the moon with future electric Giulias and Stelvios.
Promises of performance and character are of little interest, since it's doubtful that an electric motor can match the pleasure of a V6.
Is it true that the Giulia and Stelvio will also feature hybrid engines, or is this just a rumour or fake news?
Only Reuters gave this information, which has since been the subject of speculation. I wonder if they didn't get confused between the multi-energy platform and the giulia and Stelvio which are on stla large. I've contacted the rp about this and am waiting for a reply.
Okay, thanks. False joy then..
If an L6 can be installed on the STLA large, it's even easier to install a V6, given its compactness and hybrid nature.
Back to the same point, if Elkann and Tavares want to make a trifecta, they need the V6 twin-turbo Hybrids:
-690T 2.9 Alfa
-Lancia F160 3.0
-Nettuno 3.0 Maserati
Not only do we save a lot of money because they're already in production and we'd leave the production to Maserati, but given their power, they would also allow us to push hybridization in different contexts and methods, as Ferrari does.
Logically, the hybrid is only intended for the US market?
Logically, they should offer it to all markets.
I find it hard to believe that the new Giulia and Stelvio will only be sold in electric versions, while the automakers.t have trouble selling them in the US and Europe, frankly, I'm skeptical.
Tavares has decided to kill Alfa Romeo. He only has eyes for Peugeot
It makes you wonder what Elkann is doing and when he thinks he'll wake up.
I can't imagine that Stellantis will put an inline 6-cylinder Dodge engine on the Stelvio and Giulia, thus scrapping the current 2.9 V6. But when we see what's happening in the lower segments with the imposition of the highly contested PSA Puretec engine, I expect the worst.
Pure speculation, we'll see what Alfa Romeo does! Why would Tavares want to do away with Alfa? Don't talk nonsense!
