LA TUEUSE DE M3 ?!

The video features a night shoot with a guest, Clem, and his friend from Lausanne, Switzerland, showcasing a Swiss-spec Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. The host introduces the car as one of the most underrated of its generation, even preferring it over an M3 F80, which he usually loves. He praises its Italian design, curves, elegance, and finish. Clem explains that the car holds sentimental value as it was his father's dream car, and he bought it in his honor after his father's illness. The family has always owned Alfa Romeos, connecting them to Italian cars. Clem expresses that he still feels the same passion for the car as the first day he drove it, a feeling he believes is unique to niche cars like this Alfa Romeo, unlike more common excellent cars like the M3 F80. Alex, another guest, shares his excitement about filming this particular car, as he has never filmed or even driven one before, except for a Q4 version, which he notes is vastly different. He points out a cultural difference between France and Switzerland regarding car purchases. In France, people often choose safer options like an M3 F80 due to financial constraints, while in Switzerland, people are more inclined to buy unique cars, even if they might lose a bit more money, because they have more financial flexibility, often due to leasing options. The owner then details the modifications made to the car. Aesthetically, it has four short springs to maintain comfort, unlike coil-overs, and custom rims. Performance-wise, the engine control unit has been optimized, bringing the car to approximately 560 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque, which is significant for a rear-wheel-drive sedan. The engine bay is noted for its carbon accents and overall aesthetic appeal. A complete exhaust line, from the intermediate section to the final, has also been installed and is fully homologated. The engine is a V6 with two turbos, and it features two separate cooling fluid reservoirs. This model is a Phase 2 from 2022, incorporating several improvements, and newer versions, like the 2024 model with updated lights, continue to be produced. Inside, the car boasts a striking interior with a clean design, fixed paddle shifters, Alcantara and leather bucket seats, carbon fiber accents, and contrast stitching. The owner also added a small personal touch, a "little packet," which is hinted to be something humorous and personal. The trunk is described as basic but functional, with a humorous mention of unhealthy highway sandwiches found inside. During a test drive, the owner highlights the car's driving characteristics. He praises its lightness and maneuverability, stating it's a fun car to drive with its 8-speed gearbox. Despite being rear-wheel drive, it exhibits minimal wheelspin, only breaking traction when intentionally provoked. He recounts buying the car as a second-hand vehicle with 20,000 km for 70,000 Swiss francs, equivalent to euros. He considers this a good value, especially compared to an M3 F80 of the same year and mileage, which would be more expensive. He also notes the impressive sound the car makes in "race" mode, even in its original state. The owner shares his previous car history, starting with a Fiat Cinquecento, then a Lancia Thesis, an Alfa Romeo 159, and a Punto Abarth, which he still owns and uses as his daily driver. He mentions that the Punto Abarth is an underrated car with a "real logic." Regarding driving modes, the car offers "Race," which deactivates all electronic aids like ESP; "Dynamic," which provides full power but retains traction control, making it suitable for wet conditions; "Normal"; and "Eco," which reduces power to 200 hp and runs on three cylinders for fuel efficiency, achieving around 12-15 liters per 100 km on the highway with cruise control, potentially dropping below 10 liters at 110 km/h. The car is described as reliable, with zero reported problems. Maintenance costs are reasonable, with a service costing 280 euros and brake discs around 500 euros for the front pair and 400 euros for the rear. The owner has not taken the car to a circuit but enjoys driving it on mountain passes. He had it dyno-tested on a hub dynamometer, where it produced 512 horsepower and 630 Nm of torque before the stage 1 tune. He also mentioned reaching 322 km/h on a German autobahn before the speed limiter was removed, and expects it to reach 330 km/h now. He recalls a previous experience with Clem, reaching 270 km/h in the car without any instability, unlike a BMW. The conversation then shifts to a humorous exchange about Alex's alleged visits to FKK establishments and then concludes with the hosts and guests sharing their social media handles, encouraging viewers to follow them. The host thanks the audience for their support and loyalty.
