PERSONALITY
07
From 1910 until today, development of the
Alfa Romeo brand has been unmistakable.
The perception of Alfa Romeo is a parallel
journey through the evolution of Italian and
international motoring tradition. In books and
films, Alfa Romeo is portrayed as an object
of desire, a status symbol, an image of beauty
and Italian expression.
The story goes that Henry Ford used to doff
his hat when he saw an Alfa Romeo pass
by. And that on the day he managed to beat
the Alfas, Enzo Ferrari cried like a baby. Alfa
Romeo has come through the last century,
contributing many memorable pages to the
history of the motor car.
There are icons that have always been part
of the collective global image of Alfa Romeo:
its ‘cuore sportivo’ or sporting heart, its
indomitable vitality, the sound of its engine, its
elegance of form and Italian design.
Stylish good looks and muscular proportions
with that intrinsic touch of character, charm
and sportiness, can only be Alfa Romeo. The
GT epitomises everything that is Alfa.

A perfect balance of passion and rationality,
emotion and safety, style and versatility:
Alfa GT, the coupé that offers maximum driving
pleasure with all the elegance and comfort
of a saloon with exceptionally generous interior
space. A car that makes dreams come true.
Engines that deploy superlative automotive
technology to deliver searing performance,
fuel economy and unparalleled flexibility on the
open road or in city traffic.
Internal trim features high prestige materials
with the hallmarks of elegance and comfort.
Compact, aggressive styling that embodies all
of Alfa Romeo’s unmatched sporting tradition.

DESIGN
01
An unusual interpretation of sportiness, a
seamless amalgam of elegance and comfort.
A style with all the flair and unmistakable
traits of Italian design and of Alfa Romeo’s
great tradition. A pure design statement from
the Bertone Style Centre and Alfa Romeo.
A temperament defined by the front end with
its bold shield, set between the wrap-round
headlights: the true focal point of the forceful,
aggressive styling of the car. An impression
that is reinforced by the taut lines of the
sides and by the slightly raked, tapered tail: a
perfect synthesis of sturdiness and strength.
Unusual and original, a real scene-stealer: the
very best expression of the spirit of Alfa GT.
Created to blend elegant taste and the
pleasure of a sporty style of driving, the
Alfa GT is unique right down to its refined
minor details, ideal for all those seeking an
exciting car with luxury refinements.

COMFORT
AND PRESTIGE
02
Alfa GT embodies a mould-breaking concept of
comfort: the freedom to choose high prestige
materials and to combine these to match your
personality – upholstered according to the
tenets of fine Italian craftsmanship. Black cloth
sport seats with red-stitching are standard on
2.0 JTS. Luxury leather seats are standard
on 3.2 V6 and are available in black, tan or
red leather.
The Alfa GT comes with a sophisticated
dual-zone climate control system, enabling two
different temperatures simultaneously: one in
the right part of the passenger compartment
and the other in the left.
High tech on board comfort is essential, with a
host of features including: premium 8 Speaker
Hi-Fi system with 10 disc CD Stacker and
steering wheel mounted audio controls, cruise
control, trip computer, power windows, remote
central locking and rear parking sensors.
A revolutionary multifunctional display
in the middle of the Alfa GT facia provides
the driver with information on the main trip
parameters offering instant feedback on
vehicle performance and the surrounding
environment.
The 3.2 V6 model further heightens levels
of luxury with Bose sound system with MP3
capability that offers unparalleled music
reproduction quality, 18” alloy wheels and
alloy sports pedals.
The GT; elegant, sporty and sophisticated, as
only Alfa Romeo can be.

VERSATILITY
03
Alfa GT has the looks of a coupé but is,
at the same time, a luxury saloon with
surprisingly generous inside space and
maximum comfort. Shaped to cater to different
requirements and to adapt effortlessly
and with great versatility to different driving,
space and habitability requirements.
The GT is generous with five seats for refined
roominess with a level of sound-proofing that
exalts the pleasure of driving in maximum
silence.
Its 60/40 split fold rear seats provide a highly
flexible luggage area. By exploiting the many
different combinations you can enjoy great
versatility with a boot space that expands from
320 litres to 905 litres.

Power
04
Alfa GT embodies all of Alfa Romeo’s passion
and tradition. A car that combines refined
elegance and top-flight performance with
impeccable control and unequalled safety:
a refined sporting spirit that immediately
stirs the enthusiasm of those seeking
the emotions of powerful, comfortable and
intuitive driving.
A unique car, starting from the engine that
is at the top of its category.
- 3.2 V6 24V. Power 176 kW
at 6200 rpm. Torque of 300 Nm
at 4800 rpm. 6-speed manual
transmission. Full, progressive
delivery even at low speed, in
the tradition of Alfa Romeo
6-cylinder engines.
The 176 kW 3.2 V6 24V with 6-speed manual
transmission. A sturdy, full-bodied 6-cylinder
engine that offers scintillating performance
and unadulterated driving pleasure: smooth
power delivery that stirs emotions but is also
flexible and progressive: its low torque curve
makes it possible to travel in sixth gear at less
than 2000 rpm and to accelerate smoothly
without having to change gear.
An impeccably-behaved power unit that brings
new pleasure to everyday driving.
Additionally, the 4 cylinder 2.0 JTS manual
and 2.0 JTS Selespeed deliver a scintillating
121kW @ 6400 rpm and 206Nm @ 3250 rpm.

- 2.0 JTS / 2.0 JTS Selespeed. Power 122 kW at 6400 rpm.
Torque of 206 Nm at 3250 rpm.
Unmatched performance and
maximum fuel economy for a
direct injection petrol engine.
With the option of a Selespeed sequential
transmission, the 2.0 JTS Alfa GT delivers a
rewarding sports car drive without having to
take your hands off the wheel. This advanced
transmission technology offers the best
of both worlds; the ease of not having to
use the clutch pedal and the pure driving
pleasure of shifting precisely when you want
to. In sometimes unavoidable peak hour
traffic, 'City' mode does away with driver gear
selection all together. Automatic gear selection
when you want it!

CONTROL
05
Alfa GT has stability and control built into
its DNA. Double circuit hydraulic brakes
complete with latest generation ABS and
EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distributor).
VDC system (Vehicle Dynamic Control),
Alfa Romeo’s original interpretation of the ESP,
that restores vehicle trajectory in the case
of loss of stability. ASR, which prevents
slipping of the wheels and the MSR system
that prevents skidding. Total control,
guaranteed by solutions inherited from racing,
such as the high double wishbone front
suspension which keeps the tyres always
perpendicular to the road. This guarantees
maximum stability even at high speeds, as
well as greater agility on mixed terrain.

SAFETY
06
The focal element of Alfa GT’s unequalled
safety is the torsional rigidity of the bodyshell
which helps to guarantee maximum stability
and road-holding. Around its strong bodyshell,
Alfa GT features an array of top class
equipment: the FPS (Fire Prevention System)
with tank-locking valve and inertia switch that
cuts off the flow of fuel in the case of impact
in some types
of accidents, seat belts with inertia reel
and load limiter at the front and rear, fully
collapsible, adjustable steering column, antiintrusion bars in the doors, energy-absorbing
internal trim.
The GT provides 6 standard airbags including
side curtain airbags that open from the top
down in order to protect the head of the front
passenger. Maximum safety features provide
comfort and confidence, allowing you to fully
appreciate the intense emotions of brilliant
driving.

“Alfa Romeo is something special. It occupies a place apar t. It is a kind
of disease, this passion for a means of transpor t. It is a way of life, a
ver y special way of thinking about a powered vehicle. It’s hard to define.
It is one of those irrational human traits that defy logical definition.
It’s to do with feelings and passions, things that have more to do
with the hear t than the brain. It’s a way of thinking that derives
from racing, where excellence is indispensable and the pressure to
per form is constant … We have always believed that these concepts
find their true expression in the cars we sell – their drivability, the way
the driver ‘feels’ the car in his hands.”
