Description

Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV 2000 Lusso – The Thunderbolt from Arese

Some cars are bought. Others find their owner.

This Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV unquestionably belongs to the second category.

The legendary “Thunderbolt from Arese” is considered by many Alfa enthusiasts to be one of the most beautiful and characterful coupés of its era. Designed in an age when designers still worked with pencils rather than wind tunnels, the GTV continues to impress to this day with its unique wedge shape, lightness and unmistakable Italian character.

My GTV was first registered in September 1978 and is only with its second owner. A few years ago, I awakened it from its slumber and brought it back to life with great passion and respect for its history. The vehicle was repainted, mechanically refurbished and is an honest car—not perfect, but full of character. It naturally has a valid TÜV inspection and today presents itself as a fiery head-turner, ready to drive and a very rare classic.

Anyone who has driven an Alfetta GTV quickly understands why this model continues to enjoy cult status. The rev-happy 2.0-litre twin-cam engine with 131 hp, the legendary transaxle concept with the gearbox mounted at the rear, and the direct steering provide a driving experience that modern vehicles can hardly convey anymore. Light-footed, lively and full of character.

The interior presents itself in pleasantly original condition, with the typical sports seats and the unmistakable cockpit of the late 1970s. Everything radiates the atmosphere of an era when driving still meant emotion and passion.

Over the course of my life, I myself have owned and driven 4 Alfetta GTV 2.0s. Our plans have now changed due to age, and I am handing the Alfa over to a new owner who will hopefully share the same enthusiasm for this wonderful vehicle.

This Alfa is neither a museum piece nor an over-restored trailer queen. It is an honest, well-maintained classic with history, character and Italian soul.

A vehicle for enthusiasts, connoisseurs and people who still know why you turn around after a drive when you park your car.
