Commemorating a remarkable milestone: 110 years of accomplishments and progress
Celebrating a Century: The Reborn Giulia GTA and GTAm
Get ready to party, Alfa Romeo turns 110 on June 24th! To honour this momentous occasion, the brand is throwing it back to its glory days with the unveiling of a new model inspired by the legendary 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA. Known as the "Gran Turismo Alleggerita," this iconic car racked up an impressive record of victories worldwide. This year, the Giulia GTA is here to carry the torch!
Under the hood, the Giulia GTA revs up with a turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 Bi-Turbo engine, capable of generating an astounding 540 horsepower. Channeling its athletic heritage, the GTA boasts a muscular body featuring aerodynamic elements and a large rear spoiler to announce its intentions. But don't be fooled by its sporty look – this baby's designed to conquer the everyday commute!
Shedding those extra pounds has never been this meticulous. The work on lightness is both thorough and extreme, thanks to the use of elite materials like carbon fiber for the driveshaft, hood, roof, front bumper, front fenders, and rear fender inserts. Aluminum and composite materials are also on the menu for the engine, doors, suspension systems, and many other components. In the end, this bold effort yields a savings of approximately 100 kilograms.
For the daredevils, Alfa Romeo offers the GTAm – the "extreme" version. This track-focused beauty features lightweight bucket seats, a roll bar, and high-tech Sabelt seat belts, along with tough Lexan side windows and rear windshield.
So, if you're ready to join this exclusive club, hurry up and show your interest! The Giulia GTA and GTAm are set to hit the market in only 500 certified and numbered examples. Each lucky owner will receive an exquisite buying experience, complete with a personal "brand ambassador" guiding them from order placement to the first drive behind the wheel. Plus, you'll receive a special Bell helmet, Alpinestars racing gear, and a personalized Goodwool car cover to protect your new speedster!
