Alfa Romeo came up with a blinder of a challenge to celebrate its new Giulia sports saloon arriving in showrooms – a lap record at Silverstone in the flagship Quadrifoglio but with blacked-out windows.
It marked 65 years since Italian F1 World Champion Nino Farina registered a lap record at Silverstone while driving the legendary Alfa Romeo 159 which was adorned with the iconic Quadrifoglio badge.
The latest record-breaking accomplishment said the Giulia complete a lap on the National Circuit in one minute, 44.3 seconds, matching the one minute 44 seconds set by Farina in 1951.
You can see the video below and don’t forget you can see the Giulia in person now at Mangoletsi.
