# Watch This 505-HP Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Hit 176 MPH on the Autobahn

For us car-enthusiast Americans, there's no other highway system in the world that sings to us like the German autobahn with its unrestricted sections. That's because when you have a car like the 505-horsepower [Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/7980/a-new-alfa-romeo-giulia-quadrifoglio-heads-to-the-dyno>) that has a top speed of 191 miles per hour, you can really stretch its legs.

In a video uploaded to YouTube Tuesday, we get a short tour of the autobahn from behind the wheel of a Giulia. As the driver navigated through traffic—mostly by sticking in the left lane—he or she was able to maintain the casual [Autobahn](<https://www.thedrive.com/watch-this/8538/watch-this-600-hp-audi-tt-rs-reach-its-top-speed-on-the-autobahn>) speed of about 80 miles per hour. But once the driver found an open stretch of road, he or she managed to let the Giulia loose.

Using the Giulia's 505-horsepower 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V6, the driver managed 176 MPH. It's not exactly the 191-MPH top speed, but hey, it was raining.

We'll give them a break.
