Click here to download printer friendly version Designed by the Bertone Style Centre, the Alfa Romeo GT Coupe offers original styling and exhilarating performance. It also represents a brand new concept of sportiness that blends comfort and elegance. The car aims to offer all the driving satisfaction of an extraordinarily high-performing no compromise coupé.

The Alfa GT Coupé succeeds in packing the results of Alfa's superlative engineering heritage into a shape inspired by a sense of style and flair that could only be Italian. The stylists were also able to call on a great Alfa Romeo tradition that has brought us models that remain benchmarks for the category: the 1900, the Giulietta, the Giulia and the Alfetta.

The shield, for example, is an imposing presence from which the entire car appears to unfold. Located in the middle of the front, the shield is created by an overlapping of the protective strip built into the black grille. The extremely effective result oozes power and aggression.This impression is reinforced by a great black mouth and light clusters that are objects of beauty in their own right.

The equally distinctive profile gives the model the appearance of an agile, solid and protective car. This is due above all to a pronounced shelf on the side that makes the car look slender and dynamic.

The rear end also has a lot to say stylistically. The tail end of the Alfa GT Coupé is compact and slightly dipped and tapering with large built-in bumpers. The rear window is drop-shaped while the light clusters are embedded in the body.

 Hmm, interesting. I'm really lost for words. Alfa has gone off the rails big time. Dont get me wrong I love my Alfa's but this does nothing for me. Sure it's far better than the BMW 318i. But If they are to post any threat to the BMW's and the Merc's of this world they need to do some serious work. Bring back the RWD V8's, and/or more tunning on the V6 for a start.

 From the photos I've seen, this is a big step backwards for Alfa. It's an amalgam of 156/147 design features that just doesn't work. The car is plain ugly. The headlights and grille don't meld and the rear of the car ends abruptly. The car looks slabsided and doesn't look sporty in any way. You'd think Bertone designed this in their lunch hour. The interior had better be innovative and worthy of 2 years development, because if it isn't, it's hard to see why it's taken them 2 years to come up with this rubbish. I love Alfas, but this car will ruin their reputation as a maker of beautiful cars. I hope the 156 and GTV/Spider replacements are better efforts.
 Soooo good!

 I've seen the GT coupe in Geneva, and it looks so good! The design is amazing, very classy and subtle. Alfa Romeo is coming back. Contrary to what people still think, they finally build reliable and very good quality cars. The time when everything in an Alfa was falling down after 2 years is gone. I've a 147, and driving it is a real pleasure. I hope one day I can afford the GT Coupe, it is probably hundred times better!
