The Alfa Romeo GTV will be a reality in 2021

The Alfa Romeo GTV will go on sale in 2021 and will compete with models such as the Audi A5, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupé and the BMW 4 Series.

Alfa Romeo GTV will go on sale in 2021. The redesigned coupé from Alfa Romeo will be based on the ‘Giorgio‘ platform already used in the Alfa Romeo Giulia and the Alfa Romeo Stelvio. Now, this platform will underpin the GTV, a coupé that keeps the essence of the Italian brand’s models.

With this future model, Alfa Romeo returns to the coupé segment. Some sources claim that the future Alfa Romeo GTV is based on the Alfa Romeo Giulia and could see the light of day in 2021. The first version of the Italian brand’s future coupé will reach the market, and 18 months later the model will debut in convertible form.

The Alfa Romeo GTV will be a production model

The new Alfa Romeo will be a production model and will share its launch with the new Alfa Romeo 8C. This limited-edition supercar will be built in carbon fibre.

As can be seen in some renders, the future Alfa Romeo GTV will be a four-seater and will have its engine at the front. Alfa’s future coupé will become a rival to the Audi A5, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupé and the BMW 4 Series.

What engine options will the Alfa Romeo GTV have?

The Italian coupé will be available with three engine options, but the one that attracts the most attention pairs a 2.9-litre V6 with an electric motor. It will produce 540 CV, but can reach 610 CV at its top speed. Its electric motor will offer a range of 50 kilometres.

Sergio Marchionne already mentioned the revival of the legendary Italian brand model back in the summer of 2018. Marchionne said the new Alfa Romeo GTV would be available with rear-wheel drive and with all-wheel drive.

It is important to highlight that at that time it was also stated that Alfa’s future coupé would have a weight distribution of 50:50, a proportion used by BMW in most of its most competitive models.

A model with history

The Alfa Romeo GTV debuted in 1976 and was designed by Giugiaro. It was developed on the platform called ‘Alfetta‘ but eleven centimetres shorter. Although it went through several restylings, production ended in 1986.

Years later, in 1994, the model returned to the market under the code 916. It was built on the basis of the Fiat Tipo and was sold in two versions: coupé and cabrio. Years later it evolved into the legendary Alfa Romeo Brera.
