Hi everyone. Just passing along info. I was thinking about modding/tuning my Ti anyways from 280 to 350hp (instead of paint protection - guys couldn't even give me a definite price on that, crazy. Paint prep cost variable? It will be a new car!). Is anyone going to mod it soon? Anyone done it already?

Oooh I smell an electric turbo!!!!

Speaking of electric, perhaps some form of hybrid with the electric motor's hp added to the gasoline engine's?

If they manage to tune it to 350Hp, I’d debate selling the Quad to gain AWD...helpful for the harsh New England winters.

Although, I’d really miss the Cloverleaf shields, but maybe they can add a different type of shield on the Veloce models...perhaps one with the Italian Horn or a clove of garlic...>

You can have a cloverleaf on a less Giulia model, but to keep it in Harmony with tradition, it shouldn't be green. They used Silver, Gold, and Platinum on the lower models in the past.

I suspect just this...

The article posted by Thuderjam shows the current engine:
2.0L 280HP I4 DI TURBO ENGINE

And the new one:
2.0L 350HP I4 HO DI TURBO ENGINE


Anyone know what "HO" stands for?

 

[FNM]

High Output?

'Tis approaching the season for it to be repeated three times.

"debate selling the Quad to gain AWD"

and if it goes into the RWD stelvio MacGeek mentioned, I'd debate forgetting the AWD stelvio quad, if the RWD comes with 4 modes.
but I'm a little south of boston

maybe SHO would be more appropriate?

 

[BostonDMD]

Will they have a traction control off button?

 

[MacGeek]

The 350 is planned only as AWD, both on Giulia and Stelvio.

 

[lost1750GTV]

hmm, will it have "animal" mode?
this has a lot of modes, what's wrong with steering, brakes, and throttle, that's all I ever used, even in dunes

Been there, done that. How about UHO?

 

[lost1750GTV]

Uuho might be a good mode name, for everything off and you actually have to drive it haha

Following memory card nomenclature, extreme would be next and then extreme pro.

Do you know if it's planned to appear with the 2018 or 2019 lineup?

Do you know if they'll make them for RHD markets as well?

Since there is no RHD AWD Giulia, it would seem unlikely wouldn't it. For Stelvio, of course, this does not hold true.

The current 2.0 is a great engine but just a tad underpowered for my taste. I think 350hp version would be the sweet spot, but I?d be weary of the turbo lag.
