The Alfa Romeo GT is a stylish sports coupé produced between 2003 and 2010. Designed by the renowned Italian design house Bertone, the GT draws inspiration from the original Alfa GT models of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Built on the Alfa 156 platform, it shares many components with its sibling, ensuring proven engineering and performance.
Offered exclusively as a coupé, the Alfa Romeo GT features a distinctive silhouette, characterized by a high window line and unique design elements that set it apart from other vehicles in its class. The multi-link rear suspension, also derived from the Alfa 156, is tuned for a sportier, firmer ride, delivering excellent stability at the cost of some ride comfort.
The engine lineup is diverse, including several petrol options and a single diesel variant. The range-topping 3.2-litre V6 engine produces 240 hp and is known for its robust performance and reliability, though it comes with higher fuel consumption. The four-cylinder petrol engines are generally reliable but may suffer from variator issues related to the variable valve timing system. For those prioritizing efficiency over engine sound, the 150 hp JTDM turbodiesel is a practical and economical choice.
Power is delivered to the front wheels via a six-speed manual transmission or an optional Selespeed automated manual gearbox. Inside, the cabin borrows heavily from the Alfa 147, featuring quality materials and leather-trimmed elements, including the dashboard. The front seats offer good comfort and support, while the rear seats are surprisingly spacious for a coupé of this size.
One notable drawback of the Alfa Romeo GT is its limited manoeuvrability, which can be a challenge in tight urban environments.
The standard tyre size for the Alfa Romeo GT is 225/45 R17.
Alternatively, 205/55 R16 tyres can be fitted as an option.
