The G80 is faster in this case but for how long? You're not going to take your car to the track to do 1 lap.
What we do know is that according to this video at least, the car is very well balanced, which for 99% of drivers who don't track, that is perfect.
I'm actually glad that the Alfa came out and made BMW up their game. Competition, pardon the pun, is a good thing.
It is impressive that every time someone catches up with BMW, BMW ups their game. At one point even Infiniti seemed like they could challenge for the 3 series market and were planning on a GTR based M fighter before they fizzled. Now it's Alfa. The hallmark of a great company is how they respond - Alfa, ball is in your court now 😊
