Alfa Romeo GT

[majaV8]

Alfa Romeo has done it again! This Italian car manufacturer will launch its sensational GT coupé at Frankfurt. We have more info and a photo gallery of this stunner.



Alfa gave a glimpse of the GT at the Geneva Motor Show but now the production car is ready and Europeans sales will start toward the end of the year.

The Alfa GT is a complete new vehicle and it is derived from the iconic Alfa 156.

The Italian car manufacturer created the Alfa GT in conjunction with Bertone. The results of this co-operation are: striking styling coupled with exhilarating performance.

It represents a revolutionary new concept, i.e. sportiness combined with comfort and elegance.

The car aims to offer all the driving satisfaction of an extraordinarily high-performing coupé without the compromises typical of this type of car.

Its large luggage capacity and generous amount of rear passenger room exemplify this.

The Alfa GT also succeeds in packing the results of Alfa's superlative engineering heritage into a shape inspired by a sense of style and flair that could only be Italian.

The stylists were also able to call on a great Alfa Romeo tradition that has brought us models that remain benchmarks for the category: the 1900, the Giulietta, the Giulia and the Alfetta.

With a length of 4.48 metres, width of 1.76 metres and a height of 1.39 metres, the Alfa GT Coupé is aggressive and compact (its wheelbase is 2596 millimetres), with a shape marked by certain distinctive traits that define its strong personality and render it immediately recognisable.

A development of the distinctive three-lobed Alfa motif is evident at the front.

The shield is slightly larger and is an imposing presence out of which the entire car appears to grow. The result is very effective: it oozes force and aggression.

This impression is reinforced by two side air intakes and light clusters that are objects of beauty in their own right.

The tail end of the Alfa GT is compact and slightly dipped and tapering with large built-in bumpers. The rear window is drop-shaped while the light clusters are embedded in the body.

Like the exterior shape, the interior of the Alfa GT is as sporty as Alfa Romeos get.

The steering wheel, pedals and gearbox, for example, are designed for maximum vehicle control.

The Alfa GT will be available with four engine options:


103kW 1.8 T.Spark

120kW 2.0 JTS

110kW 1.9 JTD Multijet 16v (Diesel)

184kW 3.2 V6 24v GTA

Dual zone climate control system
