In 2004 the Italian manufacturer Alfa Romeo began production for the GT sports model using the mid-size 156 sedan/saloon car platform and a stylish body design signed Bertone. The mechanical specs are the same as the ones for the 156 while for the interior Alfa Romeo used the 147 model for inspiration.

In the last few years the Alfa Romeo GT was much appreciated for its beautiful design and according to some people it resembles to the great-looking 1980 Sprint.

Under the hood the car hides a 240 PS (237 hp/177 kW) 3.2-litre V6 engine considered to be unique compared to the rest of Alfa Romeo engines. The old 2.0L petrol unit implemented on the Alfa 156 was upgraded to a new 2.0L petrol engine with direct injection and better fuel consumption.

The 1.9 direct injection diesel engine is considered to be very popular and its high torque output offers more power at low revs than the 2.0 litre petrol which needs higher revs in order to provide maximum power output. Also the fuel economy played an important role in this equation attracting more and more people each year.

Alfa Romeo GT is a true GT car with a 6 speed gearbox and a range of 600 miles (970 km) per tank at motorway speeds.
