Wind Back Time
Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV V6 1986
Specifications
Description
Alfa Romeo's last truly innovative car, the Alfetta GTV 6, oozed luxury and motor sport pedigree.
It ticked all the boxes; a classic rear wheel drive experience, something one could occasionally use on the track but comfortable enough for daily use
The engine barks with each downshift, ricocheting off nearby surfaces. Slung low to the ground like a kitten pouncing on a piece of string, the car scours all over the surface for traction. It's the classic rear wheel drive experience coupled with an Italian aura of passion.
Styled by automotive design rockstar, Giorgetto Giugiaro, albeit under the studio name Bertone.
Alfa Romeo was renowned for pioneering the highest performance cars embodied in the most beautiful bodies and the Alfetta was no different, injected with Formula 1 technology. Torsion bar front suspension, de Dion rear suspension, twin plate clutch, rear mounted gear box, inboard rear brakes, and the Busso designed 2.5L V6 engine. No other car in the segment rivaled this much innovation. It had Porsche 944's whimpering in the corner.

The Alfetta's portfolio is like the annoyingly talented co-worker you quietly envy. Achievement after achievement. Four consecutive European Touring Car Championships, numerous WRC victories, Australian Rally Champion, Australian Group-A success, the Beninca Brothers briefly dominating the Targa Tasmania, James Bond stole one¦the list is relentless.
A capable machine that when you work it right, everything aligns and the GTV6 feels like a serenade of angels performing the greatest 80's hits whilst wearing leather jackets with their instruments on fire.
The more the car is driven the better it behaves with zero reliability concerns, yep, an unbelievable zero percent. Statistically more reliable than family and friends and german products.
