Alfa Romeo Giulia: Just Two Years To Production With A Team Of Ten

The chief engineer for Alfa Romeo’s new Giulia sedan has spoken about the car’s low-key birth, revealing a relatively simple but rapid development process from design to construction.

Speaking with UK mag Car, Philippe Krief said the Giulia was designed and developed in just two years and two months, and with just a ten-strong design team.

The Giulia was unveiled late last month, and it’s fair to say public reaction to the car’s styling may put it in the rare ‘instant classic’ category.

But it could have ended up differently for the Giulia, with Krief saying his key brief was to come up with “something different”.
