Finnish race car driver Kimi Räikkönen recently tested the highest-performing sports sedan at the Balocco Proving Ground, the site of development and testing of all Alfa Romeo sports cars since the 1960s.
Kimi Räikkönen recently put his stamp on the Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA and GTAm after paying special attention to the work done on the highest-performing sports sedan the Italian brand has ever produced.
Analyzing the changes made to the car, the world champion racer highlighted the aerodynamics of the 4-door sports sedan saying, “I really like it. We’re looking at a car that can be used on an everyday basis, but that can also be taken onto the track, a car you can really enjoy yourself in.”
It seems the front of the car is lower, making the steering faster. It’s fast, easy to drive, and responsive.

“Of course, it’s better at high speeds in terms of balance. It seems the front of the car is lower, making the steering faster. It’s fast, easy to drive, and responsive,” he added.
The GTA and GTAm also benefit from a special new air extractor capable of increasing the car’s ground effect, thus guaranteeing excellent road holding at high speeds. Once he takes off his racing suit and is away from the spotlight, Kimi Räikkönen is back playing the role of father, taking his children to school. He therefore believes that the Giulia GTA represents the ideal mix for use every day and on the track
