The 2000 GTV was introduced in 1971 together with the 2000 Berlina sedan and 2000 Spider. The 2000 range was the replacement for the 1750 range. Once again the engine was rationalized throughout the range. The engine displacement was increased to 1962 cc with a change of the bore and stroke to 84 mm × 88.5 mm. Oil and radiator capacities remained unchanged. The engine produced 132 PS (97 kW; 130 hp) at 5500 rpm with the SPICA fuel injection, which, once again, was only fitted to cars destined for the United States and Canadian markets, with carburetors retained for other markets producing 152 PS (112 kW; 150 hp).

The interior trim was also changed, with the most notable differences being the introduction of a separate instrument cluster, instead of the gauges installed in the dash panel in earlier cars.


Externally the 2000 GTV is most easily distinguished by the following features:

• Grille with horizontal chrome bars, featuring protruding blocks forming the familiar Alfa heart in outline.
• Smaller hubcaps with exposed wheel nuts.
• Optional aluminum alloy wheels of the same size as the standard 5. 1/2J × 14 steel items, styled to the "turbina" design first seen on the alloy wheels of the Alfa Romeo Montreal. "Turbina" refers to the wheel's resemblance to a jet engine inlet.
• The larger rear light clusters first fitted to United States market 1750 GTV's were standard for all markets on the 2000 GTV.

37,459 2000 GTVs were made before production ended.
