While we slowly count down to June 24, the day when Alfa Romeo, the new Giulia presents, drip the first pixels inside. But alas, we do well to the hype not to believe.

Alfa knows its sedan superb to keep it a secret. The development is done by 600 engineers in a secret “skunkworks division” are stopped, and until now there hardly come out. Just a few spyshots of a mule which was heavy taped. We ask ourselves why they call that picture above, the Giulia, for which it is not.

Somewhat strange is that the the world was helped by Alfa Romeo in the Netherlands itself, that on the 17th of June on Twitter a teaser spread of the 159-successor. On the image there is a geblurde sedan, with an Alpha logo over it and the launch date below. We beat a small vreugdekreetje when we the first lines of the sedan saw, but after some searching it was clear that Alfa Romeo simply a photoshop has used since last year on the web rondzwerf. A concoction, nothing to do with the real Giulia. Curious. On the other hand /care, because we see him about two days already.

What we already know about the Alfa Romeo Giulia

The Italian want to be in the D-segment and be resurrected with a rear-wheel drive model, where we have to rely on a base plate that is shared with the Maserati Ghibli. In terms of engines are turbogeblazen viercilinders expected and a V6 where Ferrari would have interfered. Internally, the Alpha name”, Type 952’. Or he actually Giulia is going to be called, we hear over two days, as the brand also his 105th birthday. There are also rumors that they ‘m Milano will call.

UPDATE: the Alfa Romeo Giulia is officially unveiled.
