Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio (minor thinking)

[ElPaso Pilot]

I would presume it is due to an automated manual transmission, however, the specs call it an 8 speed automatic. I've owned a few cars with a dual clutch automated manual gearbox that will automatically hold brake pressure to keep it from rolling back on a slope since the car downshifts to neutral stopped. I suppose it could be considered a driver convenience/safety device on a light weight high torque vehicle such as the Stelvio QF.

4313 pound curb weight... Not exactly lithe

Hey, good enough to run 7:52 at Nurburgring

And yes, I will continue quoting that statistic even though I personally will never duplicate it with this car.

It's amazing what some of these vehicle weights creeping up to.

Saw the Munro teardown of the new Humvee.

Battery pack alone is 2818 pounds, with the total truck coming in at 9063.

But 0-60 in ~3 seconds.

That's cause you're hoping to beat it, right? By ten seconds? Thirty?
