The Alfa Romeo GTV
The Alfa Romeo GTV was introduced in 1995 as a replacement to the Alfa Romeo GTV6, which had already been discontinued in 1986 without a direct replacement. The reason for the delay in replacing the GTV6 was the take-over of Alfa Romeo by Fiat in 1986. Fiat wanted the brand to sell large volume cars instead of niche sports cars. It took them a few years to figure out Alfa needed a sports car to maintain its image as a sporty brand, especially with other brands introducing coupes and roadsters.
Alfa Romeo GTV Overview
The GTV and its open version Alfa Spider had a very distinctive design, with four round headlights, the one-piece rear lamp/foglamp/indicator strip across the rear of the body and a wedge shape accentuated by an upward crease in the bodywork. The duo of cars received many design awards in their first year on the market. They were based on the front-wheel drive platform of the Alfa Romeo 155, and equipped with four-cylinder or V6 engines.
Alfa Romeo GTV Sales Data & Trends
Sales data of the Alfa Romeo GTV are only available from 1997 onwards, when sales peaked at 6,135 cars. Sales declined every year since, even despite an update in 1998, giving the exterior a more pronounced V-shaped Alfa Romeo grille, an all-new interior and new engines. Production of the GTV was ended in late 2004, but they still had a couple of hundred of cars in stock that were sold until 2007. A total of around 41,700 were produced, of which just over 30,000 were sold in Europe. The GTV was replaced by two models, the 147-based Alfa Romeo GT, introduced in late 2004 and the 159-based Alfa Romeo Brera, introduced late 2005.
