Alfa Romeo Giulia (Italian pronunciation: [ˈdʒuːlja]) is the name of three not directly related model (line)s from Italian carmaker Alfa Romeo. The first were the four-door Type 105 entry-level compact executive sports sedans produced from 1962 to 1978; the second are the updated (mainly up-engined) Spider, Sprint and Sprint Speciale Alfa Giuliettas, and in 2015, Alfa Romeo revived the Giulia name, again for a compact executive car (type 952).
Alfa Romeo was one of the first mainstream manufacturers to put a powerful engine in a light-weight 1 tonne (2,205 lb) four-door car for mass production.[5] The Type 105 Giulia was equipped with a light alloy twin overhead camshaft four-cylinder engine similar to that of the earlier Giulietta (750/101) range, available in 1.3-litre (1,290 cc) and 1.6-litre (1,570 cc) versions. Various configurations of carburetors and tuning produced power outputs from about 80 to about 110 bhp (55 to 75 kW), coupled in most cases to 5-speed manual transmission.
Giulia sedans were noted for lively handling and impressive acceleration among small European four-door sedans of their era, especially considering modest engine sizes offered. The popular Super version with the twin carburettor 1.6 litre engine had a top speed of 170 km/h (106 mph) and accelerated from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in about 12 seconds, better than many sports cars of the late 1960s and early 1970s.[5] When leaving the factory all variations of the Giulia originally fitted either Pirelli Cinturato 165HR14 or 155HR15 tyres (CA67).
The styling of the three-box four-door sedan was somewhat wanting, with its three main volumes all truly square and boxy, softened only by detailing of the front and bonnet, roofline, and boot. Using a wind tunnel during development helped designers to find a remarkably aerodynamic shape with a drag coefficient of Cd=0.34,[6][7] particularly low for a saloon of the era.[8]
The Giulia Spider was succeeded by the Alfa Romeo Spider (105/115) in 1966.
