The new Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA in Trofeo White Driving Video

The Giulia GTA is instantly recognizable courtesy of an exclusive characterization that is both aesthetic and functional, confirming it is not an exercise in style but instead a high-performance vehicle derived from a mass-produced car, the exceptional Giulia Quadrifoglio.

With the widespread use of ultralight materials, the Giulia GTAโ€™s weight is reduced by up to 100 kg compared to the Giulia Quadrifoglio, and is powered by an upgraded version of the 540-hp Alfa Romeo 2.9 V6 Bi-Turbo engine with a best-in-class weight-to-power ratio of 187 hp/L.

It also delivers extraordinary performance, in terms of both its lap times on the track and its acceleration.

With the Launch Mode system, it goes from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds.

Alfa Romeo engineers have worked to improve its aerodynamics and handling, but above all to reduce the weight, following the same guidelines as for the 1965 Giulia GTA.

To achieve these objectives, widespread use has been made of components in carbon fiber and composite materials.

The aerodynamics have been specially designed to increase downforce.

These solutions embody technical expertise that comes straight from Formula 1, courtesy of the synergy with Sauber Engineering.

They were entrusted with the aerodynamic appendages, the new rear spoiler โ€“ adjustable to 4 positions in the GTAm, and the active front splitter, which can be extended for use on the track by up to 40 mm on the GTAm.

Other features developed include the Akrapoviฤ central exhaust system in titanium, built into the rear diffuser in carbon fiber, and the 20-inch wheel rims with single locking nut, seen for the first time in a sedan, paired with specially selected Pilot Sport Cup 2 Michelin tires.

The aerodynamic research in the wind tunnel was not limited to the aerodynamic appendages, it also focused on the specially developed fully faired underbody.

The GTA and GTAm also benefit from a special new air extractor capable of increasing the carโ€™s ground effect, thus guaranteeing excellent road holding at high speeds.

More specifically, on the Giulia GTAm the most intense aerodynamic configuration mounts triple the increase compared to the Giulia Quadrifoglio, previously the benchmark in its class.
