Summary
With the Alfa Romeo Giulia, the car developers in Milan achieved a masterpiece. Hardly ever before had a saloon come so close to a sports car. The four-door model was also a commercial success, selling around 570,000 units in 17 years. The most popular variant was the Giulia Super, which also won over comfort-conscious sports drivers in 1965. This driving report is dedicated to precisely this variant, which drew 98 hp from a displacement of 1.6 liters. With many photos - current and historical - as well as brochures and sound samples, it shows what makes the Giulia so appealing to this day.

Preview (beginning of the article)
Compact four-door saloons were not a dream car either in the 1960s or decades later, but there was and still is one exception - the Alfa Romeo Giulia, launched in 1962. On June 27, 1962, a horde of journalists marveled at the new sedan, which stood angular and towering on the asphalt of the Monza circuit. Commendatore Dottore Ingegniere Orazio Satta Puliga presented the successor to the Giulietta, whose engine concept, once pioneeringly developed by Giuseppe Busso, was adopted by the new car. The main focus in Milan was therefore on improving the chassis and bodywork, which was to offer significantly more utility and space and at the same time less resistance to the wind.
