Which seems like the right thing for BMW, considering the toughest competitor the M3 has ever faced is doing the same thing. According to Australia\u2019s <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carexpert.com.au\/car-news\/what-the-future-holds-for-the-alfa-romeo-stelvio-and-giulia\">Car Expert<\/a><\/em>, the next-generation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/11\/19\/bmw-m4-csl-drag-race-alfa-romeo-giulia-gta\/\">Alfa Romeo Giulia<\/a> will be entirely electric.<\/p>\n<p><em>Car Expert<\/em> spoke with Alfa Romeo\u2019s head of product,\u00a0Daniel Guzzafame, who said that the next-generation Giulia will \u201cmost probably\u201d be fully electric. He spoke about Alfa\u2019s need for a performance vehicle that complies with the strict emissions regulations in many European cities and Alfa won\u2019t be able to do that with a gas engine. And since a hybrid would only be a half-measure and Alfa would have to change to an electric version at some point anyway, why not just go straight to the EV.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Alfa-Romeo-Giulia-Quadrifoglio-3-of-34.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-385123\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Alfa-Romeo-Giulia-Quadrifoglio-3-of-34-830x467.jpg\" alt=\"Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio 3 of 34 830x467\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Alfa-Romeo-Giulia-Quadrifoglio-3-of-34-830x467.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Alfa-Romeo-Giulia-Quadrifoglio-3-of-34-1820x1024.jpg 1820w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Alfa-Romeo-Giulia-Quadrifoglio-3-of-34-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Alfa-Romeo-Giulia-Quadrifoglio-3-of-34-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Alfa-Romeo-Giulia-Quadrifoglio-3-of-34.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio 3 of 34 830x467\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-385123\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20467%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Alfa-Romeo-Giulia-Quadrifoglio-3-of-34-830x467.jpg\" alt=\"Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio 3 of 34 830x467\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Alfa-Romeo-Giulia-Quadrifoglio-3-of-34-830x467.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Alfa-Romeo-Giulia-Quadrifoglio-3-of-34-1820x1024.jpg 1820w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Alfa-Romeo-Giulia-Quadrifoglio-3-of-34-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Alfa-Romeo-Giulia-Quadrifoglio-3-of-34-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Alfa-Romeo-Giulia-Quadrifoglio-3-of-34.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio 3 of 34 830x467\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If Alfa makes an electric Giulia, that means an electric Giulia Quadrifoglio is coming too. Which gives the BMW M3 a definitive competitor for its upcoming electric M3. And at the moment, those are the only two brands that have semi-public plans for electric performance cars. Audi hasn\u2019t quite revealed what its next RS4 will be and who knows how long Mercedes\u2019 new hybrid C63 AMG will last. So, at the moment, it\u2019s only BMW and Alfa.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the Giulia, Alfa will also release a fully electric Stelvio SUV, which will take on the next-generation of BMW iX3. Along with the electric Stelvio will also be a Quadrifoglio model, which will take on the rumored electric BMW X3 M.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/giulia_stelvioquadrifogliomy201-5eb3d55a7155e-scaled.jpeg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-372194\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/giulia_stelvioquadrifogliomy201-5eb3d55a7155e-830x439.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"830\" height=\"439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/giulia_stelvioquadrifogliomy201-5eb3d55a7155e-830x439.jpeg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/giulia_stelvioquadrifogliomy201-5eb3d55a7155e-1024x542.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/giulia_stelvioquadrifogliomy201-5eb3d55a7155e-768x407.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/giulia_stelvioquadrifogliomy201-5eb3d55a7155e-1536x813.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/giulia_stelvioquadrifogliomy201-5eb3d55a7155e-2048x1084.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of \"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-372194\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20439%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/giulia_stelvioquadrifogliomy201-5eb3d55a7155e-830x439.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"830\" height=\"439\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/giulia_stelvioquadrifogliomy201-5eb3d55a7155e-830x439.jpeg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/giulia_stelvioquadrifogliomy201-5eb3d55a7155e-1024x542.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/giulia_stelvioquadrifogliomy201-5eb3d55a7155e-768x407.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/giulia_stelvioquadrifogliomy201-5eb3d55a7155e-1536x813.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/giulia_stelvioquadrifogliomy201-5eb3d55a7155e-2048x1084.jpeg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of \"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to driver\u2019s sport sedans, the BMW M3 and Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio are above and beyond the rest of the segment, by quite a bit margin. The Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing is really good too but its engine is a bit of a letdown. And now it seems that BMW and Alfa will continue to be the leaders of the segment, by making electric performance sedans before everyone else. While the Alfa stands to lose out on switching to electrification more than BMW\u2014its engine is far more emotional and charismatic than BMW\u2019s and BMW has far more experience with EV powertrains\u2014both should be very exciting cars.<\/p>\n<p>[Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carexpert.com.au\/car-news\/what-the-future-holds-for-the-alfa-romeo-stelvio-and-giulia\">Car Expert<\/a>]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ADVERTISEMENT It still isn\u2019t entirely clear what sort of powertrain will power the next-generation M3 but it\u2019s assumed that it will be purely electric.
