The Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce (often abbreviated as GTV) is an iconic 1960s Italian sports coupe. Introduced in 1965 as an upgraded, higher-performance evolution of the Giulia Sprint GT, it combined a lightweight Bertone body designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro with a high-revving 1.6-liter twin-cam engine.

Key Features & Design
The Veloce ("Fast") is celebrated by Alfisti (Alfa Romeo enthusiasts) for a few distinct visual and mechanical signatures: [1, 2, 3, 4]
The Alfa Romeo 105 and 115 series coupés are a range of cars made by the Italian manufacturer Alfa Romeo from 1963 until 1977, based on a shortened floorpan from the Giulia saloon. 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 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.[citation needed]
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 the Giulia Sprint GTC.
A small number of the GT Junior Zagato were also built with a very different, aerodynamic two-seater coupé body designed by Ercole Spada for Zagato of Milan. These too were offered by Alfa Romeo as catalogue models, as the GT 1300 Junior Zagato and later GT 1600 Junior Zagato.
