No, the Quadrifoglio (official name is just Quadrifoglio, not Quadrifoglio Verde) is RWD only. Quadrifoglio means four leaf clover. Alfa’s marketing term for AWD is Q4.

I’ve had many Alfas, but never a 164. Currently have a MiTo and an 8C Spider.

Yes, that’s a Quadrifoglio.

Torino, Italy.

Most Italdesign concepts are functional and driveable. I’ve seen them on the road on several occasions, often driven by Giugiaro himself.

Fiat is indeed building a pickup. Which may be small in the US market, but I wouldn’t call it small with my European perspective, since it’s 193 inches long.

I think the “chicken tax” is still in effect, right? I do remember some manufacturers shipping small vans to the US with rear seats, which are then removed at the port. I think Ford is/was doing that with the Transit Connect, and maybe also Fiat with the RAM ProMaster City.

No, that would not be legally possible, and would be considered tax elusion. Some people formally lease their car from a foreign company and keep it on foreign plates, but that practice is in a grey area, and can lead to prosecution.

No, selling it is not in my plans. It’s something very special that I’d like to keep.

Yes, I specced the MiTo as close to its big sister as possible.

The Quadrifoglio was a must-have for me, knowing the fascinating story of how it came to be. I also have it on my daily driver, which is an Alfa Romeo MiTo.

The Zonda also has the instrument cluster from the first-gen Lancia Y; although they blinged it up, the underlying unit is the same.

Correct.

The DuoSelect Quattroporte also has another peculiarity: the engine is dry sump.

The sales process was managed directly by Alfa Romeo HQ, no dealer involvement.

Sure, what would you like to know?

This is already happening; initial development and setup for the Alfa Romeo Giulia has been done in the driving simulator, and physical testing has been largely for validation, fine tuning, and durability.
