Alfa Romeo Giulia

The Giulia Quadrifoglio’s brilliance starts with its responsive turbocharged six-cylinder engine, which gives this saloon a 0-62mph time of just 3.9sec. Then there’s the light but precise steering, massive front-end grip and planted rear axle. That it can also carry four adults and their luggage in comfort and comes with a huge standard equipment list for much less than the Porsche 911 hands it the win. Our pick Quadrifoglio
