2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA

The Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA is instantly recognizable courtesy of an exclusive characterization that is both aesthetic and functional, confirming it is not an exercise in style but instead a high-performance vehicle derived from a mass-produced car, the exceptional Giulia Quadrifoglio. With the widespread use of ultralight materials, the Giulia GTA's weight is reduced by up to 100 kg compared to the Giulia Quadrifoglio, and is powered by an upgraded version of the 540-hp Alfa Romeo 2.9 V6 Bi-Turbo engine with a best-in-class weight-to-power ratio of 187 hp/L. It also delivers extraordinary performance, in terms of both its lap times on the track and its acceleration. With the Launch Mode system, it goes from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds.

Alfa Romeo engineers have worked to improve its aerodynamics and handling, but above all to reduce the weight, following the same guidelines as for the 1965 Giulia GTA. To achieve these objectives, widespread use has been made of components in carbon fiber and composite materials. The aerodynamics have been specially designed to increase downforce. These solutions embody technical expertise that comes straight from Formula 1, courtesy of the synergy with Sauber Engineering. They were entrusted with the aerodynamic appendages, the new rear spoiler - adjustable to 4 positions in the GTAm, and the active front splitter, which can be extended for use on the track by up to 40 mm on the GTAm.

Other features developed include the Akrapovi central exhaust system in titanium, built into the rear diffuser in carbon fiber, and the 20-inch wheel rims with single locking nut, seen for the first time in a sedan, paired with specially selected Pilot Sport Cup 2 Michelin tires. The aerodynamic research in the wind tunnel was not limited to the aerodynamic appendages, it also focused on the specially developed fully faired underbody. The GTA and GTAm also benefit from a special new air extractor capable of increasing the car's ground effect, thus guaranteeing excellent road holding at high speeds. More specifically, on the Giulia GTAm the most intense aerodynamic configuration mounts triple the increase compared to the Giulia Quadrifoglio, previously the benchmark in its class.

Even so, the pleasure of owning a car like the Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA lies not only in its exceptional performance, but also in its exclusivity. Alfa Romeo has therefore set up an exclusive, dedicated purchase process, involving direct customer relations with a Brand Ambassador. The exclusivity is also accentuated by an experience package, including Bell helmet in special GTA livery with a dedicated serial number, a specific body-color Goodwool car cover - customizable on request, and exclusive after-sales services. The GTAm will also come with full Alpinestars racing apparel. A sophisticated range of customizations is also available, aimed at a unique purchase experience for this supercar.

The starting point is the liveries produced directly by the Centro Stile Alfa Romeo, recalling history and bringing out the best of Alfa Romeo's victories and iconography: the front, characterized by the historic white or pastel brown "mask", is undoubtedly the first element of distinction that - combined with the longitudinal stripes on the roof and tailgate, as well as iconic elements of the Alfa Romeo logo such as the Cross and Biscione on the bonnet - immediately brings the heart and mind to racing. Individual customers can also request one of the liveries on offer, including one version featuring the Italian flag, another with Lipari Brown paintwork, let alone further options to select at will the number emblazoned on the side door. Once the customized liveries are gone, the Giulia GTA and GTAm will come in Etna Red, Trophy White and Montreal Green, a color palette that pays tribute to the Italian flag. Another layer of customization lies in the selection of a color for the brake calipers - including the brand-new gold; and in the interior, the roll bar, seat belts and stitching.

Alcantara, Made in Italy style and functionality


The interior of the Alfa Romeo GTA features plain black Alcantara®, a unique material that succeeds in combining the rationale of both aesthetics and functionality. Pleasant to the touch, distinctive and elegant, from a practical point of view Alcantara is resistant to wear, breathable, and ensures a high level of grip so the driver remains in position in the seat during lateral accelerations. Its use on the dashboard - with its non-reflective properties - stops annoying reflections from disturbing the driver.

Plus, the lightness of the material, paired with carbon fiber, results in a significant overall decrease in the weight of the car compared to other materials, to the benefit of the car's overall performance. Alcantara is therefore used even more extensively on the GTAm, where the removal of the rear seats leaves room for specific compartments for helmets and a fire extinguisher, which are also upholstered in Alcantara. Contrasting body-color stitching and the embroidered GTA logo in Alfa Romeo red accentuate the car's racing spirit. Last but not least, like Alfa Romeo, Alcantara is a Made in Italy brand, meaning it can create products using advanced technologies, while maintaining the attention to detail typical of craftsmanship - one of the trump cards of its work.
