Chassis technology sees the Giulia introducing a double-clutch Torque Vectoring system to allow the rear differential to control the torque delivery to each wheel independently, improving traction in low grip conditions without having to run up against an invasive stability control system.
Also an Integrated Brake System uses a electromechanical system which combines stability control and a traditional servo brake to improve brake response and Alfa claims record-breaking stopping distances.
The Giulia Quadrifoglio even has a front Active Aero Splitter to actively manage downforce for higher stability and better cornering grip even at high speed. These state-of-the-art systems are all governed by Chassis Domain Control, the ‘brains’ of the on-board electronics which has been assigned the specific task of optimising performance and driving pleasure.
To save weight, carbon fibre was chosen for the propeller shaft, bonnet, roof and seat frames, while aluminium was selected for the engine, suspension, including the front domes and front and rear frames, wings and doors. The rear cross-member is made of aluminium composite and plastic and the braking system uses aluminium callipers and carbon ceramic discs.
