  • Alfa Romeo reveals new Giulia: here are some details

    2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAThe Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA makes its dramatic debut at the former AUtodelta workshop at the Balocco Proving Ground, the site which saw the unveiling of the original Giulia Sprint GTA back in the 60’s.

    The vehicle comes with instantly recognizable characteristics and design lines, altogether with ultralight materials and advanced engineer concepts. New Giulia GTA is geared with Alfa Romeo’s 2.9-liter V6 that generates 540hp and offers excellent weight-to-power ratio of 187hp per litre. This setup allows the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h (62mph) in mere 3.6 seconds.

    Furthermore, the Alfa Romeo engineers have worked to improve the aerodynamics of the vehicle and enhance the handling capabilities by incorporating numerous carbon-fibre components and composite materials.

    The bodywork features an expressive front-end with large intakers and many facrbon-fibre components. The active splitter has been redesigned and now is larger and can be adjusted lengthways by 40mm, in order to ensure the balance between the rear spoiler and the four-position adjustment of the central sections. On the sides, the carbon-fiber side skirts broaden the body of the Giulia and contribute to that menacing stance and sporty feel. The 20-inch wheels further enhance the sporty spirit of the vehicle and are specially designed to blend style and lightness.

  • Alfa Romeo presents a special vehicle for brand’s anniversary [VIDEO]

    2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAOn June 24, Alfa Romeo will reach an important milestone in its history: 110 years in business. During that time, the Alfa Romeo team has pursued innovation, while remaining true to the brand’s DNA. In order to mark this special anniversary, Alfa Romeo presents a new vehicle that fully signifies a return to the brand’s origins, while paying tribute to the iconic Giulia GTA. Let’s check out more, shall we?

    The acronym GTA stands for “Gran Turismo Alleggerita” (alleggerita stands for “lightened”), and it originated in 1965 with the Giulia Sprint GTA, a specific version derived from the Sprint GT, designed as a sport vehicle and presented at the Amsterdam Motor Show that same year. For its 110 birthday, Alfa Romeo has included some changes, but the famous DNA is retained.

    For new Giulia GTA, Alfa Romeo engineers have striven to improve aerodynamics and handling, but above all the main goal was to reduce weight. The active aerodynamics were specifically studied in order to increase the downforce, as the solutions contain technical know-how coming directly from Formula-1. The same formula is followed when it comes to the side skirts, rear spoiler, and the active front splitter. Also, the new 20-inch central lock wheels appear for the first time on a sedan.

    In terms of drivetrain system, the vehicle comes with improved handling, thanks to the widening of the front and rear wheel tracks by 50mm and developing a new set of springs, shock absorbers and bushings exclusively created for this particular suspension system. On the GTAm, the aerodynamic front piece has been optimized by adding a larger front splitter and a real carbon rear wing, which altogether ensure a balanced load at high speeds.

    As it comes to performance rates, the vehicle is geared with a powerful 2.9-liter V6 Bi-Turbo engine, made entirely of aluminum and capable of unleashing a total of 510hp in the standard configuration. For Giulia GTA this number rises to 540hp. The team has also succeeded in optimizing the implementation of the new Akrapovi specific exhaust system, with its unmistakable sound.

    The inside is characterized by 100 percent Alcantara coverage on the dashboard, door panels, glove compartment, side pillars and the central trim on the seats. Alcantara is even more extensively used on the GTAm version, where the rear bench has been removed, leaving room for a fully upholstered “basin”, hosting specific moldings designed to hold helmets and fire extinguishers. Furthermore, the new matte carbon inserts endow the interior with a distinctive technical and aesthetic elegance. For the GTAm variant, the interior features a roll bar, no door panes or rear seats and the door are opened with a belt in place of the handle. Sweet!
