Alfa Romeo GTV 2.0 16v (1996)

Description

The Alfa Romeo GTV (Gran Turismo Veloce) (English: Fast Grand Tourer) and Alfa Romeo Spider were two sports cars produced by the Italian manufacturer Alfa Romeo from 1995 to 2006. The GTV is a 2 2 coupé, and the Spider is a two-seater cabriolet version of the GTV. The rear seats on the GTV can be optionally deleted to increase the small boot space. The Spider has no rear seats, only a small boot for storage The Spider and GTV were based on the then-current Fiat Group platform, called Tipo (Italian for 'type') 2,[2] in this case a heavily modified version with an all new multilink rear suspension which allowed passive rear steering to help reduce understeer. The front suspension, engine, gearbox and drive was based on the 1992 - launched 155 saloon. For engines, the 1.8 16V (144 PS (105.9 kW; 142.0 hp)) and 2.0 16v Twin Spark (150 PS (110.3 kW; 147.9 hp)) were available along with a turbocharged 2.0 V6 that produced 202 PS (148.6 kW; 199.2 hp) or a 3.0 V6 in either 12 (192 PS (141.2 kW; 189.4 hp)) or 24 valves (220 PS (161.8 kW; 217.0 hp)) and finally a 3.2 V6 24 valve. The 2.0 V6, called V6 TB, was developed because of an Italian law that put an extra sales tax on cars with engines larger than two litres. It is basically a sleeved-down version of the three litre V6. The turbo was added for extra power while avoiding the tax. When new the 3.0 V6 24V was the fastest production Alfa Romeo with a top speed of 149 mph (240 km/h). The 3.2 V6 24V GTV 240 PS (176.5 kW; 236.7 hp <b>...</b>
