Claiming “the lowest weight in the segment and optimal mass distribution”, Alfa talks up the “best-in-class” driving dynamics of its new small crossover, noting that the chassis was tuned by the same team responsible for the hardcore Giulia GTA super-saloon.
The top-rung Veloce variant of the EV is positioned as the most driver-focused Milano, with the same 237bhp front-mounted motor and a Torsen limited-slip differential as the upcoming Abarth 600e. There are front and rear anti-roll bars, with the firm claiming best in class driving dynamics.
It also has “the most direct steering in the segment”, Alfa said, with a ratio of 14:1, alongside a 25mm suspension drop, stiffer anti-roll bars at each end and “high-performance” tyres.
Chunky 380mm front brake discs clamped by four-piston calipers round off the agility-focused chassis overhaul.
There’s no word yet on the likelihood of a full-bore Quadrifoglio version, but Imparato has previously said he “will always study the possibility to make a performance version” of each new model, as long as it is “fully consistent with the product portfolio message we send”.
“If I consider that I’m not able to offer the right level of performance steps of Quadrifoglio, I will not do a Quadrifoglio version.”
