Alfa seems all too aware of the Quadrifoglio's flaws. Does its last facelift finally sort them out?
100th Anniversarios, too), complete with gold calipers and gold stitching. They’ve all sold out in the UK, but the good news is the rest of the changes – minus the gold bits – feature on the regular models if you order one from July 4th.
To assess all this, we had an opportunity to drive the new car on the road and track, the latter at the Montlhéry Circuit in France. That’s more of a proving ground than a racing circuit, but with long straights and a heady mix of high- and low-speed corners, and very rough asphalt in places, it was the perfect place to assess the new car’s speed, damping and diff. And I’ll be honest, I couldn’t tell the difference in speed.
There’s another bonus along with this new-found confidence as well. Better damping also means you’re not pinging about like a wagging finger in the car. The ride isn’t just soft but comfortable – and no, the former doesn’t always lead to the latter. The old version was soft, but because of the excessive lateral body movements over uneven surfaces, I'd always firm up the dampers to take out the slack. That meant the ride was no longer soft, but quite firm.
From there you’ll also notice a huge improvement in the cabin if you own one of the earliest iterations. The new, high-definition instrument screen looks good – so good, in fact, that it rather highlights the fuzziness of the infotainment screen next to it. And while the door bins are still made from Dacia's cast-off, the rest of the materials are on point. That includes the carbon weave trim, which helps add an air of excellence that was largely missing before.
