Pre-turbo: 1975 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV Turbodelta

Well, let’s make it clear that in the case of this Alfetta GTV we have two possible options: either the year is wrong or this GTV is not one of the 400 or so cars built in Arese. In fact, all the available documentation says that the first GTV Tutbodelta was built in 1979, while the seller says that this car is from 1975 and, in addition to this, there are also other elements that leave us…

400 made: 1979 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV Turbodelta

400 specimens only of these very special Alfetta GTV were built starting from the 1979: it was the beginning of the first Turbo era and so, also Alfa Romeo decided to build its own interpretation of a supercharged machine. The external features of this special Alfetta were the matt black hood with two additional air vents and the colored side stripes with the “Turbodelta”. But the meat is under…
