Alfetta GT/GTV
Alfa Romeo
2+2 coupe to follow the success of Giulia GT
When it was presented in 1974, the Alfetta GT made quite a noise. But it stirred up a strange feeling too: it didn't look anything like a very recent Giugiaro creation.
BRAND: Alfa Romeo
MODEL: Alfetta GT/GTV
YEAR: 1974
BODY TYPE: Sports car
POWER SUPPLY: Combustion
CATEGORY: Production car
DESIGNER: Giorgetto Giugiaro
The car was built over the platform of the Alfetta sedan (that was to come out in 1972), and was successfully made and well-proportioned. The explanation lies in its inordinately lengthy development phase (six years), that brought it to the public only after the Scirocco, even though, historically-speaking, it is the Iguana's (1969) sister. The Alfetta is indeed a direct descendant of the Iguana: a look at the large back side window that is continued visually with a triangular air intake says it all.
