Alfa Romeo vs Ferrari

Performance is a significant part of the vehicle buying calculation for many South Carolina residents. Many Greenville drivers enjoy vehicles that are specifically tailored to offer a unique character while on the roads. When those exciting performance vehicles look different, with a visual profile as unique as their ride quality, they are even more fun to own. And a classic example of a brand with these characteristics is the Italian automaker Ferrari.

However, vehicles in the Ferrari lineup sell at prices well outside the range of what many Anderson drivers can afford. As a result, South Carolina car enthusiasts worry that they have to make a difficult choice. Drive an exciting vehicle, such as a Ferrari, or a more anodyne yet affordable one? Fortunately, the Alfa Romeo lineup gives Greer residents the opportunity to drive carefully-crafted performance vehicles that cost a fraction of Ferrari's offerings. So how can Simpsonville drivers take advantage of Alfa Romeo vehicles? Read on to learn more.

Do Alfa Romeo vehicles perform like Ferrari vehicles?

Performance is at the heart of every great supercar. And Ferrari is a brand with a storied history of innovative performance vehicles. Yet with the cheapest Ferrari model selling for over $220,000, the brand demands significant compromises from South Carolina drivers.

With Alfa Romeo, however, there are no compromises. All Alfa Romeo models start with a 280-horsepower inline-four that bring 306 pound-feet or torque. Drivers looking for a pure performance model can upgrade to the Quadrifoglio, with its 2.9-liter V6 producing 505 horsepower and 443 lb-ft. These engines are developed in Ferrari design labs and made by Ferrari engineers. And perhaps the best part is that all models are available for below $100,000.

The Alfa Romeo and Ferrari brands have another significant structural difference. The Alfa lineup includes a crossover, and has for a number of years now. Ferrari has announced plans to build their own performance SUV starting in the 2022 model year, but does not have one at the moment. So Anderson drivers seeking an option in the extremely popular, highly competitive luxury crossover market will find the Ferrari lineup leaves them stranded on the shoulder of the automotive market.

Is an Alfa Romeo vehicle as distinctive as a Ferrari?

Of course, as discussed earlier, luxury car performance metrics only mean so much to drivers in suburban Charlotte. While 0-60 times and top speeds may make a vehicle stand out on a track, these features are almost never used in the vast majority of driving. Instead, factors such as unique styling and strong interior comfort are far more significant on the average Simpsonville commute.

Here again, Alfa Romeo guarantees that its drivers will face no compromises. The luxury vehicle lineup is split between drivers desiring peak performance and those looking for an opulent, upscale ride. Alfa Romeo masters both dimensions. Every standard Alfa Romeo vehicle offers an upscale interior full of fine materials such as leather and real wood. Quadrifoglio models represent the performance side, with race-oriented features such as carbon fiber abundant throughout.

Alfa Romeo's touchscreen infotainment system offers both Android and Apple connectivity. Drivers seeking a true luxury experience can opt for the available 14-speaker audio system. And while luxury vehicles are not known for convenience, features such as wireless charging and the Stelvio's available hands-free liftgate let drivers make even fewer compromises when buying an Alfa Romeo vehicle.

How can I try an Alfa Romeo vehicle?

Have you always wanted to drive a Ferrari, but are unsure about how you could ever afford one? Alfa Romeo vehicles allow South Carolina residents to enjoy the same power, performance and opulence as more well-known luxury vehicles at a fraction of the cost. With Ferrari-derived engines, careful, visionary design and a wealth of useful features, Alfa Romeo vehicles are the perfect choice for luxury car buyers.
