Your cinematography is spectacular! A cut above anything else I've seen on TH-cam, even the ones that specialize in professional photography. Someone needs to hire you professionally dude! Love it, and the review as well! Keep it coming Sam!
The Giulia is ugly. Maserati should replace the Giulia with a below Ghibli scale sports sedan.
A lot of people would wish for something like this as a dying wish. Driving an Alfa around Italian mountains with a roaring soundtrack and beautiful vistas.
Enjoy it for us, since not everyone will be able to realize this dream Sam, thank you for bringing us this content.
Much love.
I did it ... twice with my QV... its amazing ;)
Amazing car ✅
Amazing road ✅
Italy ✅
Coffee ✅
Stunning scenery and B-roll ✅
This is prime STG and I’ve missed this content so much
In 30 years nobody will mention Project 8 but GTA will be pure treasure. You just cannot compare these two.
The QV is the only car that I've owned that wows me more in 3 years than year one. I own two 997.2 GT3s and would give them up before my Alfa. Until you own one it's impossible to understand it. Joy. That's the best descriptor.
Alfa Romeo will always be my favourite car brand to ever exist
Lada? Second place?
Great video as always. I’ve watched this channel since I saw a video about an Alfa 4C being reversed into by a van driver, you’ve come a long way since then. I had the privilege of meeting Sam at the Goodwood Revival a few weeks ago and all I can say is Sam is so down to earth and that the personality that you see on screen is mirrored in real life. I still can’t believe the channel doesn’t have 1 million subscribers. All I can say is Sam, keep up the excellent work!
Need to see your thoughts of a 600LT on UK roads next pls.
Haha. Challenge accepted
I can almost hear Matt Munro on your drive back down that mountain. Italy, my favourite country in the world
Italy = analog. Live it, experience it, love it! And what a car! 👍
That car, that road, that weather, that coffee... you've just lived my dream day out.
One of your best videos yet. Great mix of shots, talking and quite sections. Your production talents just get better. Nice car but sounds way too expensive. Love Alfas but prefer the old ones like classic GTVs.
Yep, the only good Alfa is a used one. New ones are way overpriced.
@@lotsofcurveslover every used car is better than a new one in terms of money.
@@DonViToCRLNE true, especially north of $50k.
@@DonViToCRLNE haha
@@saidalas8381 back hating again.
As a Giulia Veloce owner (3 years from new), wonderful to see that dashboard pov I recognise so much, but the soundtrack is another level. As a daily the Veloce is perfect mix of sensible and fun and you have that perfect balance. I'd go to a QF but cannot justify the extra £100k, except from the collectors perspective of a limited run.
the extra cost is absolutely justifiable, maybe not for the bang for your buck, but for the reason that it will increase in value over time.
its passion on wheels - that sound - that color - that tradition - can you put a price tag to it?
If you ask you are too poor - somebody famous said that once.
Thanx for sharing - awesome!
Man, I just love your videos. Love the editing ,the scenery and your enthusiasm. Its such a joy to watch them every single time!
I live like 30 minutes away from the Panoramica Zegna (the area filmed in the video), located in the province of Biella.
Been there recently, truly a beautiful road, never would've thought to see it on TH-cam.
🔝
I always love to see a QV on the rare occasions one passes me in my area. Wish the car and brand got more love and respect in the US. Fantastic video as always Sam!
well the only reason its not doing that great in the us is that of its cons almost out way its pros..mainly its Reliability on a daily level..
That car must be amazing to drive! Beautiful!
One of the most stunning saloons ever built!
You know those old school top gear episodes featuring a car review/trip?
This is what this video feels like. 👌
Cool 😎 That sound 👍👌
Sounded so good
@@seenthroughglass but didn't look so good
@@saidalas8381 I'd book an appointment with an ophthalmologist.
Driving an Alfa Romeo on Italian mountain roads going to get an espresso.. you win at life, mate!!
Actually, this is THE FIRST video I’ve seen on the GTA! (Not the GTAm) Thank you Sir
That’s the next flagship for the channel Sam! You’ve already done the ftype/porsche route while this would be so unique compared to most channels. Also think how amazing your last road trip would be in this thing! This and the 360 make a awesome two car garage 👌
Thanks for sharing this with us. I traded my 911 for a Giulia Quadrifoglio and haven't regretted it at all. It inspires passion.
The car, the scenery the coffee, the amazing photography and editing... And then lastly the whip cracks in the tunnels 🤤 It doesn't get much better 🥰 Thank you Sam.
Nothing better on a Sunday F1 and a Seen Through Glass Video!!
The regular Giulia QV is still one of my dream cars, I’d daily the hell out of one if I could. Sam you should get a drive in a regular one again, you might fall in love with it 😏
Not to brag but I have one and daily it in Texas. It's thirsty, temperamental, delicate, and my hands down favorite car I've ever owned. Yes it's annoying that I have to slow to a crawl at many intersections to avoid bottoming out, it may or may not have eaten a fuel injector at 2000 miles on the clock, and the tires disintegrate if it's below 50ºF, but somehow the faults are charming. Jeremy Clarkson has always said that a car has to have human flaws to be loved, and I get it now.
I desperately hope it doesn't take Alfa Romeo another 20 years to make another super sedan. I've driven BMW's for years. I'm not sure I can ever go back.
p.s. the tire thing is not a joke. Pirelli themselves say on their website to never expose the tires to subfreezing weather. I lost both rear tires as a result of not having power for a week during the 2021 icepocalypse here. Spent more on replacing the tires than I did on fixing my pipes.
Getting Coffee in the.... the best videos for sure !!!
Amazing car, great location, great weather and good coffee = the prefect day. Well done! Thanks for bring us along. BTW fantastic cinematography. Really well done!
Video quality is levels above anyone else in this space, it really is full production crew standards.
Thank you for making videos like this. I love the sense of adventure and exploration I get when I watch you go on these trips. I'm living vicariously through you. I hope you truly appreciate what an amazing life you have man. P.S. I loved that chase camera when you were going back down the hill. Your cinematography really conveys the day's story well. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for bringing back great memories of Italy and real espresso! My Nespresso can’t compare!
This is the most STG video ever! Amazing roads, even better car and great coffee. All captured in a amazing video! Love this GTA 😍
so good to finally see an alfa again on your channel. They suit you so well. Loved that 4c area of yours
Thank you, Sam, awesome video, i liked much the thoughts you had on this Alfa, and also the part where you left after coffee and just drove without speaking..very nice!
Great sound, the whole of Italy is just stunning, I'm moving there!
With this production quality it still amazes me how you dont have 1mil+ subscribers….
Top job!!!!!
They have really embodied a Ferrari in the shape of a 4 door saloon car, no higher praise than that
This V6 sounds incredible,love this car!nice video
Sam, great video. Stunning photography. God, I've missed this type of content. Feels like things are slowly going back to normal. Thank you.
That was a Sunday special! Well shot, great location, headline car. And love the Guilia. Even thinking about getting a 280 lusso as the family run around as can’t afford (justify) a QV for my toy.
What a beautiful machine full of such soul, I can only imagine how much better it is over the standard QV. Great drive, great roads, great coffee, and amazing machine to top it off, excellent!
Hey Sam, You should get one of these, it suits you. The Alfa Romeo GTA stands out from the other cars. Wow-what a car!!!!!!!
Excellent landscape views, spirited drive up the mountains in a unique car with a great soundtrack!
One of the most pleasant videos, as of late from you sam 👍🏼
Loved the pov camera angle part of the video! Really cool way of seeing how you drove this car :)
(Most times i would imagine driving ALL the way up that mountain just to get a single sip of coffee would be frustrating, but with this car i’m sure no one is complaining 😂)
Wow Sam your content is always next level 👍🏽 love the music the shots a well put together video 😌🙏🏾
Awesome car and stunning roads up there! Just amazing 😍
I don't know how it's possible but this video is even more beautiful than usual.. Maybe it's beacause I'm heavily biased towards Alfa Romeo ! Congrats and thank you for this video Sam ! It makes me want to go to Italy with my own Alfa so so bad now !
masterclass on car youtube content - well done Sam!
Worth every penny
Favourite video from any channel in quite some time. Might be a bit biased though as I’m three months into a new QV ownership and loving it. Just need an Italian road trip now.
i love that car!!! great video as usual! thanks!
thank you SO MUCH for a drive in the four seater version when the other one has been getting ALL the attention
Beautiful car, awesome paint too in that stunning Italian sunshine - that road looks amazing - one for the list. Standard Guilia QF plus £100k cash sounds like a better deals though
Or even a project 8
Very true. However considering there are only 250 of these in the world. I suspect you could buy it drive it for a year and get your money back.
gotta agree with that. just the fact that you can spend around 25k on a standard Guilia QF, suspension coilovers, carbon bits, exhaust, tune and some fancy brakepads.. and have the same fun (i think) and keep 75k in your pocket.
@@gedam131 the carbon parts alone will be around 30k😅 all the fenders are in carbon on the GTA.
Really fun vlog. I think the regular QV would be fine. Keep up the good work.
Sam, from an automotive journalist standpoint, this was hands down one of your top 3 best car reviews ever and generally some of the best car journalism ive ever seen! Well done
Money no object… would get one straight away. Love the Italian flare and passion behind these products. 😎
Agreeing with all the comments basically. For sure your best video yet! Amazing cinematography.
Brilliant love the mix of lifestyle and cars makes so interesting and different keep up the good work
Great video Sam, Italy and Italian cars are always simply amore 🇮🇹😀👍🏼
Beautiful photography, Sam! I could smell that coffee and that car. Wow!
Excellent work on the video. It was a treat
Great work. Love it🍀
Great video Sam, you knocked it out of the park with this one.
Great Video! Making me miss Italy too! I learned how to drive in an old Alfetta 1.8 and my first car was a GTV (we're talking back in the 80's here), so I've always had a love for Alfas. An acquaintance is thinking about selling his 4C Launch Edition, and after watching this video, I'm thinking about rekindling my Alfa relationship! The GTA appears to be an AWESOME car - and one we won't get here in the States. But based on the price in the UK, it seems it would have been north of $200k, had we gotten it here. As much as I love Alfas, that would just be too much for me. There are too many other great cars available at that price point. But what a stunner it is, and what a soundtrack! All captures in the typical awesome Sam style!
After watching you podcast about becoming a youtuber and how you like to create content telling a story not just pressing record. Thinking of the story before hand, making sure you bring us with you on the journey with moves of the scenery…I can really see that structure and foundation used in this video. Really appreciate your work even more now! Congrats on a stunning story telling video with beautiful scenery…makes me want to get in my lotus and go for a drive
epic shots as usual! 👍👌👏
Great video sam!! love the colour on that Alfa
The Guilia is an amazing car, especially chassis/braking even on lower trim levels! Could not afford one so bought a 159 instead
159 1.75tbi is a very nice substitute! Never quit on your dreams 🤩
Your video work is simply outstanding. Choice of music is great
Love this car and Sam, as always it’s a pleasure to watch your videos 🙏🏼
It's just a wonderful piece of art !
That car is just astonishing !
Fantastic cinematography as always 👍👍👍
As always great content from you Sam, you communicate greatly humor, grace and strength of character. The car, well I own one and for me it is the best sports sedan in the world. 🍀
Fantastic Video Thanks Sam.
The video is as incredible as your day with car and coffee.. 👍
Truly a special car. Super saloons are a dying breed and anytime a manufacturer releases something like this, it needs to be celebrated!
Leading up to the first tunnel run I think everyone was watching and waiting for that drivers window to drop lol. Had a giggle when it did 😄
Exactly! 🤣🤣
Stunning car, thanks for the awesome content!
Amazing visuals Sam!!
Absolutely marvelous piece Sam. I so wish you can have this beautiful car for your world tours, or long tour ride, as you are the very few who do live with them rather just shot n forget type
Fantastic video Sam, loved it and the car 😍
The filming from the 18th minute is sublime!
Epic car, a great twisty road - awesome video.
Excellent review. Well done Sam
Amazing 😍😍😍
Great video as always sam 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Brilliant ..... Absolutely Brilliant. One of your best reviews ever Sam.
Certainly a beautiful Alfa Sam! But the price for effectively a very classy body kit and paint finish. When you think it cots more than a 992 GT3 then the worlds gone mad!
Fantastic video Sam, it has everything! 👌 Those snowy peaks in the distance is Monte Rosa group, second highest in the Alps after the Mont Blanc
What a car, what a place, what a video. Thanks Sam!
Great Video Sam! Love the alfa
Sounds so damn good!🔥
Awesome video mate, absolute dream car of mine 😁
You are so interesting and funny to watch, your or is great. Car is stunning, real beast.
So this is what those moutains one sees when flying into Nice looks like on the ground. Lovely!
11:07. Very Italian style ! 🇮🇹 An Alfa Romeo parked while you take a break and drink an excellent Espresso with a wonderful view ! 😉👍
I want one so bad! Also the background music during your ad was so distracting it sounded like your turn signal was on the whole time! Thanks again for an amazing video Sam.
Awesome video Sam. With you on the coffee and Project 8 specialness over the a or m…
