The GTV is a 2+2 coupé, and the Spider is a two-seater cabriolet version of the GTV. The rear seats on the GTV could be optionally deleted to increase the small boot space. The Spider has no rear seats, only a small boot for storage. Known by the internal Alfa Romeo designation 916, the GTV and Spider were launched at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1995. The GTV's name placed it as the successor to the long-discontinued Alfetta GTV coupe, whereas the Spider was effectively the replacement for the then 30 year-old Giulia Spider. Contents 1 Design 2 Characteristics 3 1998/2003 facelifts 3.1 Engines 4 References 5 External links [edit] Design GTV Cup Edition Spider rear end. Both cars were designed by Pininfarina.[2] and the phase 3 Spiders were assembled by Pininfarina. The car was produced in three distinct phases. It is a typical Italian design, with the Alfa Romeo grille with dual round headlights, recalling the 1750 GTV of the late 1960s and 1970s. It has a wedge shape with a low nose and high kicked up tail. The back of the car is "cut-off" with a "Kamm tail" giving improved aerodynamics. The car is very low slung and entry and exit is quite difficult. The Spider shares these traits with the GTV except that the rear is rounded. The Spider featured a folding soft-top with five hoop frame, which completely disappears from sight under a flush fitting cover. An electric hood folding mechanism is fitted on later versions. As would be expected, the GTV has a much more rigid chassis, although considerable work was done on the Spider to reduce the traditional convertible problem of scuttle shake. Wheels are 15 inch perforated light alloy as standard, 16 inch teardrop wheels with 205/50 tyres are part of the Lusso option package, along with Momo leather seats and air conditioning. A factory option of 17 inch teledial wheels with 225/45 tyres was popular, as are aftermarket 18 inch wheels with even wider 235/35 or 235/40 tyres. Another popular modification are lowered and uprated road springs to reduce body roll when cornering, making the TS cars corner very flatly, even at higher speeds. The phase 1 cars had a black plastic grille in the nose of the bonnet, without the normal chrome edging. A popular modification is to fit a phase 2 grille which has a chrome border and wire mesh centre.[citation needed] The Lusso has become a separate model rather than an option pack on the phase 2 cars and the standard car was renamed the "Turismo". All V6 cars were of Lusso specification. Very few Turismos were sold in the UK. A spacesaver spare wheel was supplied, and there was a no-cost option of an aerosol can of tyre repair sealant. This was a popular option as it increased the usable size of the very small boot. [edit] Characteristics The Spider and GTV were based on the then-current Fiat Group platform, called Tipo (Italian for 'type') 2,[2] in this case a heavily modified version with an all new multilink rear suspension which allowed passive rear steering to help reduce understeer. The front suspension, engine, gearbox and drive was based on the 1992 - launched 155 saloon. For engines, the 1.8 16V (144 PS (105.9 kW; 142.0 hp)) and 2.0 16v Twin Spark (150 PS (110.3 kW; 147.9 hp)) were available along with a turbocharged 2.0 V6 that produced 202 PS (148.6 kW; 199.2 hp) or a 3.0 V6 in either 12 (192 PS (141.2 kW; 189.4 hp)) or 24 valves (220 PS (161.8 kW; 217.0 hp)) and finally a 3.2 V6 24 valve. The 2.0 V6, called V6 TB, was developed because of an Italian law that put an extra sales tax on cars with engines larger than two litres. It is basically a sleeved-down version of the three litre V6. The turbo was added for extra power while avoiding the tax. When new the 3.0 V6 24V was the fastest production Alfa Romeo with a top speed of 149 mph (240 km/h). The 3.2 V6 24V GTV 240 PS (176.5 kW; 236.7 hp) is currently fastest Stradale Alfa Romeo (introduced on the 2003 GTVs), capable of 0-60 mph in just over six seconds and a top speed of 158 mph (254 km/h). Spider interior. The 2.0 16v Twin Spark engine gives up to 35 mpg-imp (8.1 L/100 km; 29 mpg-US).It has variable inlet cam timing, giving 25 degrees of variation to improve torque and give a more linear power delivery. The TS engine has a belt driven balance shaft to improve the smoothness of the engine. The TS was the best-selling version of the GTV in the UK.[citation needed] The last restyle of the GTV in 2003 also introduced the 2.0 JTS (165 PS (121.4 kW; 162.7 hp)) engine, which uses direct injection, in a similar way to a diesel engine. This engine uses only one spark plug per cylinder and has a variable-length inlet manifold to improve torque at low revs. To save weight the bonnet, inner and outer front wings and bumpers were made from a composite material called KMC.[3] At the time, the bonnet was the largest single composite moulding on a production car. When the bonnet is opened, two rectangular Hella headlamps are revealed with separate bulbs for dip and main beam, behind the four round holes in the bonnet. The 916 was equipped as standard with power steering, twin airbags, seatbelt pretensioners, Bosch ABS, electric heated door mirrors, electric frameless windows with one-touch operation for the driver's side, height adjustable headlamps, front foglamps, reach and rake adjustable leather clad steering wheel, stitched leather gear knob, an automatic electric aerial,a Clarion face-off stereo with six speakers and central locking. GTV 2.0 TS (Australia) An alarm system and immobiliser was fitted with remote locking/unlocking. The bodyshell was galvanised with full plastic wheelarch liners and is therefore rustproof. The only additional options were the Lusso pack, metallic paint and electric sunroof. Details included a one-piece rear lamp/foglamp/indicator strip across the rear of the body, internal electric release for the bootlid and filler flap, the minor instruments in the centre console angled towards the driver. At its launch, many journalists commented that Alfa had improved overall build quality considerably and that it came very close to equalling its German rivals. The fuel tank has a capacity of 70 litres (18 US gal; 15 imp gal). The battery, CD autochanger and fuel tank are located in the boot, and the tank is ahead of the rear axle line, behind the rear seats for increased safety. The power assisted steering has a very high ratio, giving 2.2 turns lock-to-lock. The bonnet and bootlid are supported on nitrogen filled struts. Criticisms of the model have been that it is hard to park due to its large turning circle and low seating position, which mean that the end of the bonnet and corners are outside the driver's line of sight. The doors are very long and need plenty of space in a car park, and the boot is very small at only 3.8 cubic feet (0.11 m3), made worse if the spacesaver wheel is included. There are also commonly electrical problems.[citation needed] Contrary to rumors in well maintained cars there are relatively few mechanical problems.[citation needed] The top of the range (3.0 and 3.2 litre) versions have three mufflers and four catalytic converters installed at the factory on the CF3 engine and onwards (2001-), which result in a somewhat muted sound. Common aftermarket alterations to the exhaust system are straight pipe replacements for some of the mufflers (usually leaving only a single or double muffler), twin tailpipes (which require modifications to the rear bumper), stainless steel systems and replacing the standard cats with race cats or even cat replacement pipes (on the CF3 these replacement pipes do not give lambda engine light warnings). Additional modifications include the popular air filter replacement by BMC CDA, fitting GTA cams, etc. Modifications such as these completely change the sound produced by the Arese V6 and are said by some to rival the engine note of Italian V8 engines. [edit] 1998/2003 facelifts 2003 facelift Spider. The Spider and GTV were revamped in 1998 (phase 2) and are recognisable by the addition of a chrome rim around the Alfa shield in the bonnet, and colour-coded side skirts and bumpers on the base models. The interior was also re-designed with the most noticeable difference being that the centre console was now silver alloy-look with round air vents. A six-speed gearbox was made available as an option for the 3.0 24V. A second, more comprehensive facelift (phase 3) was unveiled at the 2003 Geneva Motor Show. The most notable difference was the restyling of the front end to include a much deeper 147-style grille, the frontplate-holder moving from the centre to the left and a change of the colour of the interior instrumentation lighting from green to red. The GTV ended production in 2005 on the launch of the Brera, while the Spider lasted another year until the launch of its Brera-based successor. The 916 GTV and Spider are considered by some to be the last Alfas that are true to Alfa Romeo heritage in terms of design and engine note. The successor models (159, Brera, Spider) have a higher ride height and larger chassis, and the V6 models use engines made by GM rather than being made by Alfa Romeo.

All too often 'limited editions' are just a cheap way of making some tired old box look slightly more appetising. Your average Saxo 'Wheee!' or Corsa 'Splish!' is little more than a marketing ploy, often cobbled together by the dealers, and the only thing that limits its lifespan is the arrival of another limited edition, the 'Kazoo!' or 'Chutzpah!' or some such. This one's a bit different. For one thing, it's based on one of our favourite cars, Alfa's glorious V6-engined GTV. For another, the GTV Cup, inspired by an Italian one-make race series, is a genuinely limited edition (the UK allocation is 150, all in Alfa Red). Question is, with the new GTV due in 2003, can Alfa persuade a few more of us to buy a car which, let's face it, is in the twilight years of its production life? Alfa's coupe still turns heads, more than five years after it first appeared on UK roads, and the Cup, peppered with sexy, purposeful-looking vents, emboldened with aggressively trimmed spoilers and skirts, and rolling across the tarmac on dramatic, 17in 'telephone dial' alloys, has even more visual clout though mechanically it's the same as the regular V6. Inside, there's a small metal plaque on the dash confirming the GTV Cup as a limited edition - our car was no. 100. The big news is the new 'sports' seats, which bear the mark of Momo. They look a bit low-rent, but they're a major improvement on the overstuffed leather-wrapped chairs that blighted the last GTV Lusso we drove. Those seats held you in place about as convincingly as a truss fashioned from gossamer. At least the new seats actually support you in spirited cornering, so you can use the steering wheel for steering, not as a handily placed grab-rail. The wheel itself is wrapped in leather, as are some of the trim panels. The interior still looks good, though it's starting to show its age. For example, it obviously wasn't designed to have a passenger airbag - the cover doesn't match the rest of the facia plastic. And the driving position is perfect - provided you normally walk with your knuckles dragging along the ground. There was also a good deal of wind roar from the frameless side windows on the test car. What the GTV V6 does best is accelerate - and make the most wonderful, soulful, brass-laden noise while it's about it. This is a genuinely quick car, don't forget - 0-60 in around 6.5sec and over 150mph all-out. The previous day I'd been driving the Aston Vanquish and to be absolutely honest the GTV didn't feel a whole heap slower, though obviously it is. There's a decent spread of torque, but if you really want to keep it on the boil you'll be whipping up and down the six-speed box - it's a rather loose and long-winded shift, but it slips through quickly enough when you're really trying. Just as impressive as the engine is the way the Alfa puts its power down - front-wheel drive, and no trick diffs or traction control, remember. Unless you're determined to be a complete hooligan, you can make rapid progress without the lashings of wheelspin and the torque-steer you'd expect. On dry, reasonably smooth roads, the fact it's front-wheel drive really isn't an issue. The handling's more benign than, say, most recent hot French hatches, but you can still tailor your line by playing with the throttle. The steering requires fairly big inputs, and lumpen surfaces reveal a lack of the ultimate composure that marks out the very best chassis, but the GTV makes a decent fist of most roads. The ride's actually pretty comfortable, though the shallow-walled 225/45 Goodyear Eagles pitter-patter over coarse tarmac. All my instincts tell me to be sceptical about what is, after all, a fairly superficial makeover. And you can't help wondering if the Cup is really worth a couple of grand over the regular V6. Trouble is, at ΂£26,995 it's almost as dear as the BMW 330Ci, which offers almost identical performance and all the bulletproof build/residuals that anyone with any sense could possibly crave. Fortunately we're not all that logical about our car purchases. Any GTV with that V6 engine is something to lust after. The Cup package has just enough of the right stuff to add an extra layer of desirability. The GTV Cup oozes the passion and bravado that makes even a flawed Italian car somehow more covetable than its just-so German or Japanese equivalent. Long may it be so.

Zathan100 1 month ago 2 ...I think the Gtv is one of best cars ever made!!!This video is an undisputed proof....!!!!The issue on reliability is just a myth!!Every car has its minuses and personaly I don't think newer Alfas share problems of the past!!!...by the way the music volume on the vid should be a lot lower....maybe even 0.....no music is needed with THAT ENGINE :)... ;) Zathan100 1 month ago 2 SUPERBLAH28 1 month ago Such a beautiful car! SUPERBLAH28 1 month ago viggoM35 6 months ago 2 What car doesn't have issues? No vehicle is without a design flaw. I have owned over twenty different cars foreign, import and domestic and maintain them myself. Have had many BMWs and a few Mercedes, but now have a Alfa 164 LS. I couldn't be happier with its 3.0 24v V6. ;) viggoM35 6 months ago 2 Erikpc 11 months ago love it.
