The last time Alfa Romeo offered a four-door in the US was more than two decades ago. That long drought ends with the iconic Italian carmaker’s stateside launch of the stunning Giulia sedan. Designed in-house by Marco Tencone, the Giulia comes in three flavors—this one is the most arrabiata. Powered by a Ferrari-derived 2.9-liter, twin-turbo V-6 that sounds like the devil’s Uber and produces a brutal 505 horsepower, the Quadrifoglio accelerates from 0 to 60 in a neck-snapping 3.8 seconds and tops out at a widow-making 191 mph. To keep all that oomph from hitting the guardrail, a carbon-fiber front aero splitter auto-adjusts to produce up to 220 pounds of downforce. Add to that an elegant, driver-focused interior and you’ve got a ride that’s equally at home at Trader Joe’s and on the track. Andiamo! | $72,000
