The Alfa GT

Alfa Romeo GT
The Alfa GT, a new sports coupé derived from the Alfa 156
and indisputable star of the recent Geneva and Frankfurt Motor Shows,
is due to go on sale at the end of the year. The model, designed
by the Bertone Style Centre, will be appreciated for its original,
pleasing styling that promises all the satisfaction of a sporty
drive with full respect for brand traditions. 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: from the 1900 SS to the Giulietta Sprint, from
the Alfetta to the Giulia Sprint.
With a length of 4.48 metres, width of 1.76 metres and a height
of 1.37 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 as an Alfa. Hence the designers' decision
to go for smooth, clean motifs and shapes marked by an unmistakable
sense of Italian flair. The result is a strong, spare front end
dominated by an Alfa Romeo family resemblance encapsulated by the
distinctive three-lobed motif bearing a shield that is slightly
larger in size than at present. The entire car appears to grow from
this point to combine a slight edge of styling aggression with outstanding
elegance of form. This impression is reinforced by two side air
intakes and light clusters that are objects of beauty in their own
right.
Dashing and solid but also dynamic and sturdy. It took a clever
balancing act to wed such disparate features. This contrast is evident
in the Alfa GT's profile where a side shelf unmistakably conveys
the idea of a car that is agile but also anchored to the ground.
And more.
