Alfa Romeo has broken the Nürburgring lap record for SUVs, with the new Stelvio Quadrifoglio clocking a time of 7:51.7. This usurps previous lap record holder, the Range Rover Sport SVR, which lapped the circuit in 8:14. The Stelvio’s time equals those of the BMW M4 in 2015 and places it among the top 100 road cars to ever post a lap time. It's an accolade that the brand hopes will mark it out from a burgeoning sports SUV segment, with existing as well as upcoming rivals like the BMW X3 M, Audi RS Q5, Jaguar F-Pace SVR and Porsche Macan Turbo all vying for supremity.
