What a beast of a car !

If you want to hear more of the F-Type here’s a completely unedited video shot during a trip to the Alps! Apologies the picture quality isn’t great but the sound makes up for it… czcams.com/video/9epS047RZw8/video.html

I want one! Great video guys.

🚗🎺

If someone could lend me some new ears that would be great 👍

I really enjoyed doing this one!

My ears are still ringing..... 😅

Why would anyone want a car in london?! Freaks

Congrats! get a decent warranty. Generally engine and gearbox are reliable but there are common issues like drop links, headlight condensation, fuel pumps…etc. Thames Alfa in SE is a great main dealer. There is an aftermarket security upgrade (for the radar port) which cancels the famous vulnerability that caused many of these to be stolen. Lastly be very careful with race mode in the winter/wet

Lime bike a close second

Uber boat ?!

Wish it was by car

We hate to say it… it’s the tube

Can you really feel a diffrence in the HP, and did it increse acceleration?

In a word; (hell) yes!

He is just being a prick. You didn't do anything against the law ( from what i saw) u need to come back and experience the TT. Did u get my comment about looking into homestay if u visit?

Very very great job man! Did you try fixing a camera on the pedalbox to film your footwork for this video? :D

Saloon all day

Editing was on point in this video. Good job lads.

The 2zzge is an awesome engine. 220bhp doesn’t sound alot but in that lightweight chassis it’s plenty. For context this lotus is 239bhp per tonne and an evo x is 187bhp per tonne

If it has aircon, use it, otherwise it will leak at some point. I've owned many Elises and Exiges in the past 24 years and the S2 Exige S is still the most reliable car I've ever owned, and I tracked it now and again. Apart from the aforementioned aircon issue, I only had to change normal wear & tear items. (3 years and 30k miles from 2007 to 2010). Enjoyed the clip!

How was your 4C stolen? Burglary or car key scanner etc? Makes my blood boil.

What a car! Subscribed

Great purchase, I've always loved the Exige (S1 & S2) but my advancing years and back issues mean it'll never be one I own however I can live through your ownership! Rest assured I've managed to soothe my broken heart with an Alpine A110S but those little Exiges are wonderful!. Cheers, Kevin

Great purchase! I love an exige and this one looks and sounds fantastic! The old top gear review of the S2 has to be one of the most memorable pieces of automotive film from when I was a kid, so it’s exciting to have some content coming on one!

Lovely stuff...

Fantastic car, exciting purchase! Sounding particularly great!! Enjoyed Ed’s revolutionary entrance method…game changer

If only the roof came off. So we thinking supercharger worth the extra cash for the extra fun? Or have just as much fun in a NA 111r? 🤔

How long before the mods start?!

Congratulations on the buy Ed! Look forward to plenty of videos!

Get in the comments below if you have any advice or recommentdations for Ed! Welcome to Lotus ownership!

Congrats Ed!!! What a car! Who knew a 4 cylinder could sound so epic! And only 2,000 miles a year 😀

What a weapon! Full 🦇 🧍‍♂️ spec !

Should I go for the 111R or an early SC? 🤔😬… Would you get twice as much fun for spending twice as much money or no?…

Alfa destroy his brend with a smal palet of car and big price, they need restarting witt low price and for couple year you bring price up . Someone in Alfa management dont know his job Alfa is great but..

🇮🇹 ❤

Exhaust valve bypass from AHM Motorsport, unless one is already fitted - as it allows you to have the valves open all the time rather than switching to Race Mode. I have this on my Misano Blue Stelvio Quadrifoglio and wouldn't be without it.

Is the 8 speed gearbox faster

Alfa Romeo doesn't have to lower its head to anyone, certainly not a Ferrari.

Been wanting to drink and drive one of these for a while!

Welcome back to the GQV Ed! Hard to resist huh? I know I love mine. Just crossed over 95k miles 💪🏼

I'm sure it's ultimate reliable and fantastic backup...🤪🤪

I’ve had my QV for close to a year now, and it is spectacular!

Congratulations mate - what an awesome car and spec! Look forward to my passenger ride and trying badly to keep up with you at goodwood...! Oh and welcome to the Alfa family!

Top Car!! Love Love IT❤️🍀❤️

Nice car! It'll probably cost you plenty, in my experience. I would keep mods to a minimum if I were you and set up a bank account you try and forget you have, for running costs. They look beautiful anyway, don't ruin it with tat. Put the money you might have spent on mods, in there... Use it regularly as well, the splitter actuator issue seems more common on cars that are used less (as well as ones that have been grounded hard). I've seen that light once and it was when the car had sat for 2 weeks, lesson learned. People on the forums that have had lower and higher mileage ones, seem to have more issues the less they drive them - definitely keep the battery charged and change it if its not right (rear demister and start stop not working is an early sign). For your purposes you have a good spec in one of the 16 to mid-18 cars, if you don't need the 5th seatbelt these cars have the most direct handling, thinner glass/carbon roof as standard, louder engine, and I'm guessing are a bit lighter than the later cars - though I'd love to see some real weights. The OEM brakes are great but nigh on £3k to replace in that spec. Every 4th service is at least £1200 even from a specialist, probably more like £2k if you do what you should (I use AHM and they're no cheaper than main dealers, but know what they are doing 100% so its worth it to me). Tyres and fuel not too bad for this sort of car, but parts like shocks and fuel pumps that seem to cause some issues, are expensive and can have daft lead times from AR. Befriend a good specialist, my fuel pump failed recently and AHM had two in stock and did it in days; someone on the QF FB group had his car at AR more than 6 months waiting for the same............. I had a 156GTA before, this is much the same in that it costs an unholy amount to keep "right", and has some foibles, but feels so special and looks so beautiful I can forgive it, in a world of very ugly (and bad riding) performance cars this is a gem. Ironically for the channel name the very turbocharged feel of the engine in normal driving is one of the few drawbacks for me, but all modern performance cars are like that now. I came from two XFR's in a row that sounded more special - and felt pokier - at low revs, but the Alfa feels so much lighter and more nimble. As soon as the revs rise a bit (driven in "Dynamic" mode, say) the engine is amazing. The car is just so refined and comfy, and keeps revs so low in Normal and Eco modes, it can feel a bit normal at times, but that's also a big plus for long distances.

I really like the Giulia Quadrifoglio, hardly see any on the road compared to M3/M4s which are everywhere. Biggest niggles for me compared to the competition C63, RS4/5 & M3/4 are the not so granular driving modes (no traction option for race mode for example), the lack of 5 seats and folding seats on the early cars and the higher servicing costs (aux belt service is a biggie). There is very limited aftermarket support for parts, servicing and repairs and no where near the number of specialists as for performance Mercedes, BMWs and Audis.

Congratulations on your new quad Tom, what a fantastic car, just bought a veloce ti myself & ok doesn't have the incredible v6 but absolutely love the car in every way, maybe a quad one day ! One mod you must absolutely have if you want to hang on to it is have the radar protection plate fitted ! Ask Ed all about that one ! Look forward to many videos on your stunning alfa quad.👍

Congrats on your purchase. Ive gone the opposite way from owning a 19QV to now a 17C63s coupe as I developed an oil leak on the timing chain cover gasket which got fixed under warranty but resurfaced again so the dealer bought the car back off me. The QV was such a hard car to let go of but I couldn’t put up with the leak any longer with such low km’s on the car. What I will say is that the biggest things I miss about the QV are the steering, transmission and how raw the car felt in the seat of my pants. What the 17c63s does well is its interior, fit and finish and how brutal that v8 is especially on the downshifts being a pre-face lift car. All the best, hope you enjoy it just as much as I did when I had mine.

Coooooor That's a beaut
