A new image of Alfa Romeo’s revived GTV sports car
has surfaced online, nearly 10 months
after the Italian marque confirmed that it was working on a new GTV. The following picture was shared
on Twitter and appears to have been snapped during some kind of Alfa Romeo
presentation event as the car was displayed on a large slide. It remains to be
seen if the vehicle depicted has had its styling approved for production or if
it’s subject to change.
Perhaps the first thing you’ll notice about the
sporty Alfa Romeo pictured is an elongated roofline which may even offer enough
headroom for two small seats to be located in the second-row. Elsewhere, you
can see sharp side windows, small LED taillights, a flared rear wheel arch, and
sporty black wheels sitting over red brake calipers.
A teaser released of the vehicle last year gave us a
glimpse of the coupe’s front-end design. Bearing similarities to the Alfa Romeo
Giulia, the new GTV incorporates an aggressive fascia with large air intakes
and a long hood with bold character lines.
Powering the new Alfa Romeo GTV will reportedly be a
version of the automaker’s existing 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 but boosted with a
small electric motor. Alfa’s twin-turbo V6 delivers 505 hp in its current form
and the addition of an electric motor will surely increase that to over 600 hp.
The vehicle is also set to feature all-wheel drive with torque vectoring as
well as a perfect 50-50 weight distribution. Alfa Romeo’s current plans call
for the new-age GTV to hit the market in 2021.
