The Alfa Romeo GTA is a coupé automobile manufactured by the Italian manufacturer Alfa Romeo from 1965 to 1971. It was made for racing (Corsa) and road use (Stradale).
80-516: In 1962, the successor for the very popular Giulietta series was introduced. This car was the Alfa Romeo Giulia , internally called the "Series 105". The coupé of the 105 series used the shortened floor pan from the Giulia Berlina and was designed by Bertone . The name of the car evolved from Giulia Sprint GT to Giulia Sprint, and to GTJ ( Junior ) and GTV ( Veloce ) in the late 1960s. At
160-483: A Ferrari Dino , 2-barrel 45 mm Weber carburetor instead of 40 mm, and magnesium camshaft cover, sump, timing cover and bell housing . The transmission gear ratios were closer than standard and the gears were machined for lightness and quicker shifting. Dry weight of the 1600 was approximately 1,640 pounds (740 kg). In Stradale form, this car boasted approximately 115 PS (85 kW; 113 hp) (up from 106 PS (78 kW; 105 hp)) and
240-609: A 1300 cc engine that was based on the 1600 engine, but with a short-stroke crankshaft. The GTA Junior in stradale form did not have many of the lightweight features of the 1600 GTA such as the plastic windows, magnesium engine components, and alloy wheels. In its introduction, the engine produced 96 PS (71 kW; 95 hp), but was soon raised to 110 PS (81 kW; 110 hp). Autodelta prepared fuel injected racing cars had 165 PS (121 kW; 163 hp). 450 GTA 1300 Juniors were produced. The 1750 GTAm could produce up to 240 PS (180 kW; 240 hp) with
320-572: A 1985 cc engine—a car usually related to the GTA, but unlike the GTA derived from the GTV 1750 (US version). The 1750 GTAm (later called 2000 GTAm for marketing reasons, when the 2000 GTV was introduced) was created in 1969. Which chassis' were built when is listed in the link to the "Alleggerita" book and "alfabb" website. There are three schools of thought about the "Am" moniker, neither one ever having been officially confirmed by Alfa Romeo: The car had

Though the Sprint GT Veloce's replacement—the 1750 GT Veloce —was introduced in 1967, production continued throughout the year and thirty final cars were completed in 1968. By then total Giulia Sprint GT Veloce production amounted to 14,240 examples. 1,407 of these were right hand drive cars, and 380 right hand drive complete knock-down kits. The Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce (also known as 1750 GTV) entered production in late 1967 along with
480-614: A full steel body modified with aluminium and plastic parts. Because of an increased minimum weight in 1971 up from 920 to 940 kg (2,030 to 2,070 lb), the GTAm's had less need for aluminium and plastic parts for weight saving. The base for the GTAm was the US version of the 1750 GTV with a SPICA mechanical fuel injection system. This 1750 GTV US version is known as the Giulia type 105.51. Autodelta (Alfa Romeo's racing department) built 1750 GTAm's for
560-523: A long and successful history in various classes and category. These models included the Giulia Sprint GTA , GTA 1300 Junior , and GTAm (a much evolved version of the GTA built by Autodelta ). Although not commonly thought of as a 105 Series coupé variant, the Alfa Romeo Montreal used a strengthened and slightly modified 105 series floorpan and suspension. The Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT
640-488: A maximum torque of 142 N⋅m (105 lb⋅ft; 14 kg⋅m) at 3,000 rpm. In full race form, this engine could produce up to 170 PS (130 kW; 170 hp). The 1600 GTA did not have a brake booster and had a thicker radiator than the standard vehicle. For homologation , 500 cars were made for racing and road use. According to Maurizio Tabucchi (an author of books on Alfa Romeo, consultant at Italian Vintage Automobile Association and at Alfa Romeo Italian Register),
720-399: A more conventional angle, avoiding the reflections caused by the upward angled flat dash of earlier cars. Conversely, auxiliary instruments were moved to angled bezels in the centre console, further from the driver's line of sight than before. The new seats introduced adjustable headrests which merged with the top of the seat when fully down. The window winder levers, the door release levers and

They were the successors to the Giulietta Sprint coupé. The basic body shape shared by all models was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro for Bertone . It was one of his first major projects for Bertone, and borrowed heavily from his earlier design for

#1732876893020960-697: A servo was fitted as standard, together with higher rear wheelarches as adopted later on the 1750 GTV. There were two versions of the ATE brakes: The first version consisted of an ATE adapter 105.14.22.103.03/04 on Dunlop front uprights (105.14.21.010.00,105.14.21.011.00) using an ATE caliper also optioned on the GT Veloce 1600 in 1967 (on 1000 cars as per group 2, FIA). The second version consisted of one piece ATE uprights 105.14.21.010.03, 105.14.21.011.03 with no adapter plate using an ATE caliper.

Together with the Giulia 1300 Ti , the GT 1300 Junior pioneered the use of ATE disc brakes as later fitted throughout the 105 series, replacing the Dunlop discs on earlier cars. The first few GT 1300 Juniors lacked a brake servo, and had the low rear wheelarches of the Giulia Sprint GT and Giulia Sprint GTV. From 1967,
1120-534: A top speed of 181.935 km/h (113 mph) in its December 1964 road test. In total 21,902 Giulia Sprint GT were produced from 1963 to 1965, when the model was superseded by the Giulia Sprint GT Veloce . Of these 2,274 were right hand drive : 1,354 cars fully finished in Arese, and 920 shipped in complete knock-down kit form for foreign assembly. The Alfa Romeo Giulia GTC was a cabriolet version of
1200-610: The 1750 Berlina sedan and 1750 Spider . The cars were first shown to the press in January 1968. The same type of engine was used to power all three versions; this rationalisation was a first for Alfa Romeo. The 1750 GTV replaced the Giulia Sprint GT Veloce and introduced many updates and modifications. Most significantly, the engine capacity was increased to 1779 cc displacement (80 mm bore × 88.5 mm stroke, 6.61l oil capacity, 9.58l radiator capacity). Peak power from
1280-470: The Alfa Romeo 2000 Sprint/2600 Sprint . The balance of glass and metal, the influence of the shape of the front and rear glass on the shape of the cabin, and the flat grille with incorporated headlamps were groundbreaking styling features for the era. A limited production (1000 units) convertible was a modification from the standard car by Touring of Milan, offered as a catalogue model by Alfa Romeo called
1360-739: The Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce , very similar but featuring a number of improvements: a revised engine—slightly more powerful and with more torque—better interior fittings and changes to the exterior trim. The Sprint GT Veloce was introduced at the 36th Geneva Motor Show in March 1966, and then tested by the international specialist press in Gardone on the Garda Lake . Production began in 1965 and ended in 1968. The Giulia Sprint GT Veloce can be most easily distinguished from other models by

There were five leather seat colours available for the Sprint GT they were dark brown leather (pelle testa di moro), red leather (pelle rossa), black, grey and beige. After initially marketing it as a four-seater, Alfa Romeo soon changed its definition of the car to a more realistic 2+2 . The Giulia Sprint GT

2240-411: The GT ( Gran Turismo ) model description, which was common to all models in one form or another. The various models in this range can be considered in two broad categories. On one hand were the various Gran Turismos (GT) and Gran Turismo Veloces (GTV), (veloce is Italian for "fast"). These were meant to be the most sporting cars in the Alfa Romeo range and sold very well to enthusiastic motorists around

Both categories were used to derive GTA ("Alleggerita", or "lightened") models, which were specifically intended for competition homologation in their respective engine size classes. The GTA's featured extensive modifications for racing, so they were priced much higher than the standard models and sold in much smaller numbers. Practically all GTA's made were used in competition, where they had

You will also find the complete and regularly updated list of the 1750 / 2000 GTAm's on internet, here to be exactly. https://www.alfabb.com/threads/gtam-chassisnumbers.162337/page-25#post-8807697 The Giulia 1600 GTA-SA (sovralimentato English: supercharged ) (1967–1968) was a very rare racing car, which only 10 were built. Car featured 1570 cc twinspark engine with two oil-driven superchargers and it could produce up to 250 PS (180 kW; 250 hp) at 7,500 rpm. The GTA-SA
4800-450: The nose of the car. The Giulia Sprint GT can be distinguished from the later models by the following features: Inside the cabin the padded vinyl dashboard was characterised by a concave horizontal fascia, finished in grey anti-glare crackle-effect paint. Four round instruments were inset in the fascia in front of the driver. The larger diameter inner pair were tachometer and speedometer ; the outer ones were smaller combination instruments,
4880-429: The parts from Autodelta and from other tuners and assembled the GTAm themselves on a new or existing bodyshell. The original 1750 engine block (actually 1779 cc) was used and by inserting a monosleeve instead of four individual cylinder liners, received 1,985 cc (2.0 L; 121.1 cu in) and later to 1,999 cc (2.0 L; 122.0 cu in) to participate in the 2000 cc class, explaining

5040-449: The quarterlight vent knobs were also restyled. The remote release for the boot (trunk) lid, located on the inside of the door opening on the B-post just under the door lock striker, was moved from the right hand side of the car to the left hand side. The location of this item was always independent of whether the car was left hand drive or right hand drive. Early (Series 1) 1750 GTV's featured
5120-495: The range. The engine displacement was increased to 1962 cc with a change of the bore and stroke to 84 mm × 88.5 mm. Oil and radiator capacities remained unchanged. The engine produced 132 PS (97 kW; 130 hp) at 5500 rpm with the SPICA fuel injection, which, once again, was only fitted to cars destined for the United States and Canadian markets, with carburetors retained for other markets producing officially
5200-519: The replacement for the 101 series Giulia Sprint 1300 , which was the final development of the Giulietta Sprint series. The GT 1300 Junior was fitted with the 1300 (1290 cc) twin cam engine (74 mm bore × 75 mm stroke), as fitted to the Giulietta series cars, but revised for the 105 series with reduced port sizes and other modifications. The smaller engine was introduced in order to allow buyers to choose an Alfa Romeo coupé while avoiding
5280-399: The same Dunlop disc brake system as the Giulia Sprint GT, while later cars substituted ATE disc brakes as pioneered on the GT 1300 Junior in 1966. The ATE brakes featured a handbrake system entirely separate from the pedal brakes, using drum brakes incorporated in the rear disc castings. The Veloce's could be ordered in the Bertone De Luxe body option which included extra options. One of
5360-445: The same bumpers as the Giulia Sprint GT Veloce, with the front bumper modified to mount the indicator / sidelight units on the top of its corners, or under the bumper on US market cars. The Series 2 1750 GTV of 1970 introduced other mechanical changes, including a dual circuit braking system (split front and rear, with separate servos). The brake and clutch pedals on left hand drive cars were also of an improved pendant design, instead of
5440-496: The same power. The interior trim was also changed, with the most notable differences being the introduction of a separate instrument cluster, instead of the gauges installed in the dash panel in earlier cars. Externally the 2000 GTV is most easily distinguished by the following features: From 1974 on, the 105 Series coupé models were rationalized and these external features became common to post-1974 GT 1300 Junior and GT 1600 Junior models, with only few distinguishing features marking
5520-588: The time, Alfa Romeo was very active in motorsport . Autodelta , the racing division of Alfa, developed a car for competition that closely resembled the roadgoing model. These cars were named GTA instead of GT, the 'A' standing for "Alleggerita", Italian for lightweight. The GTA was produced first in 1965 as a 1.6 L (1,570 cc) and later as a 1300 Junior version. The GTA automobiles were also manufactured in either street (Stradale) or pure race (Corsa) trim. The GTA had aluminium outer body panels instead of steel, (the inner steel panels were also of thinner gauge,
5600-480: The time. Fuel injection was also featured on Canadian market cars after 1971. Carburetors were retained for other markets. The chassis was also significantly modified. Tire size went to 165/14 Pirelli Cinturato or Michelin XAS from 155/15 Pirelli Cinturato and wheel size to 5 1/2J x 14 instead of 5J x 15, giving a wider section and slightly smaller rolling diameter. The suspension geometry was also revised, and an anti-roll bar
5680-495: The works racing team and for customer. They had a chassis number starting with #153XXXX. Most works and customer Autodelta cars had the Spica fuel injection, although a different version was made for racing. The European market 1750 GTV (with dual carburettors) was also used to build a 1750 GTAm. Some say that the 2000 GTV and the GT 1300 GT Junior bodyshells were used as well. Note that some racing teams and private workshops ordered
5760-447: The world. The first model available was the Giulia Sprint GT (1963) which evolved into the Giulia Sprint GT Veloce (1966), the 1750 GTV (1967) and the 2000 GTV (1972–1976), with engines increasing in cubic capacity from 1570 cc (Giulia Sprint GT/GTV) through 1779 cc (1750 GTV) to 1962 cc (2000 GTV). A limited production (1000 units) convertible , the Giulia Sprint GTC, was based on the Giulia Sprint GT, modified by Touring of Milan. It
5840-425: Was Alfa Romeo's sportiest version of the 156, and used the same 3.2-litre V6 as the 147 GTA, producing 250 PS (184 kW; 247 hp) and 300 N⋅m (220 lb⋅ft) of torque. This four-door saloon was available in sedan or wagon versions. The MiTo GTA prototype has a 1.75 litre, turbocharged straight-4 , producing 240 PS (177 kW; 237 hp). However, due to the economic downturn in 2008/2009,
5920-668: Was built for FlA Group 5 racing in Europe and it won first place overall in the Hockenheim 100 mile endurance race in 1967 in the hands of the German driver Siegfried Dau. In the Netherlands, Rob Slotemaker and Nico Chiotakis also drove GTA-SA. Both types, the GTA/ GTA 1300 Junior and the GTAm were very successful, and these cars were driven to numerous victories. In the opening season at Monza , they won
6000-419: Was fitted to the rear suspension. ATE disc brakes were fitted from the outset, but with bigger front discs and calipers than the ones fitted to GT 1300 Juniors and late Giulia Sprint GT Veloces. The changes resulted in significant improvements to the handling and braking, which once again made it easier for the driver to maintain high average speeds for fast touring. The 1750 GTV also departed significantly from
6080-451: Was fitted with the 1570 cc displacement version of Alfa Romeo's all-aluminium twin cam inline four (78 mm bore × 82 mm stroke, 6.38 L oil sump, 7.41 L radiator), which had debuted on the 1962 Giulia Berlina . Breathing through two twin-choke Weber 40 DCOE 4 carburettors , on the Sprint GT this engine produced 106 PS DIN (78 kW; 105 hp) or 122 PS SAE gross at 6000 rpm. Like all subsequent models,
6160-422: Was in production for over a decade. Throughout this period it was updated by the factory, incorporating many of the same revisions applied to the larger-engined models. The first GT 1300 Juniors produced were based on the Giulia Sprint GT, with a simpler interior. The major external identifying feature was the black grille with just one horizontal chrome bar. The same 9/41 final drive ratio was maintained, but with
6240-505: Was only made over two years from 1964 to 1966. On the other hand, was the GT Junior range, which featured engines with smaller cubic capacities. GT Juniors sold in great numbers to people who wanted a sporting, stylish car that handled well, but either did not require the maximum in engine power, or could not afford the taxation on larger engine capacities in some markets - most notably, Alfa Romeo's home Italian market. Junior models began with
6320-431: Was slightly modified, with the seats retaining the same basic outline but following a simpler design. According to some, 44,269 1750 GTVs were made before their replacement came along. Others calculate it as 32,265 1750 GTVs, due to two typographic errors of Fusi's famous reference book. There were 1,542 AR 105 44 cars built rather than 11,542{in 1970 see explanation below}. The GT Veloce 1750 Series 1 could be ordered in
6400-543: Was the first Giulia sport model introduced, and was manufactured from 1963 to 1965. It was revealed at a press event held at the then newly opened Arese plant on 9 September 1963, and displayed later the same month at the Frankfurt Motor Show . In its original form the Bertone body is known as scalino (step) or "step front", because of the leading edge of the engine compartment lid which sat 1 cm (0.4 in) above
