DESIGN 01 COMFORT AND PRESTIGE 02 VERSATILITY 03 POWER 04 CONTROL 05 SAFETY 06 PERSONALITY 07 From 1910 until today, development of the Alfa Romeo brand has been unmistakable. The perception of Alfa Romeo is a parallel journey through the evolution of Italian and international motoring tradition. In books and films, Alfa Romeo is portrayed as an object of desire, a status symbol, an image of beauty and Italian expression. The story goes that Henry Ford used to doff his hat when he saw an Alfa Romeo pass by. And that on the day he managed to beat the Alfas, Enzo Ferrari cried like a baby. Alfa Romeo has come through the last century, contributing many memorable pages to the history of the motor car. There are icons that have always been part of the collective global image of Alfa Romeo: its ‘cuore sportivo’ or sporting heart, its indomitable vitality, the sound of its engine, its elegance of form and Italian design. Stylish good looks and muscular proportions with that intrinsic touch of character, charm and sportiness, can only be Alfa Romeo. The GT epitomises everything that is Alfa. 4 5 A perfect balance of passion and rationality, emotion and safety, style and versatility: Alfa GT, the coupé that offers maximum driving pleasure with all the elegance and comfort of a saloon with exceptionally generous interior space. A car that makes dreams come true. Engines that deploy superlative automotive technology to deliver searing performance, fuel economy and unparalleled flexibility on the open road or in city traffic. Internal trim features high prestige materials with the hallmarks of elegance and comfort. Compact, aggressive styling that embodies all of Alfa Romeo’s unmatched sporting tradition. 6 7 DESIGN 01 An unusual interpretation of sportiness, a seamless amalgam of elegance and comfort. A style with all the flair and unmistakable traits of Italian design and of Alfa Romeo’s great tradition. A pure design statement from the Bertone Style Centre and Alfa Romeo. A temperament defined by the front end with its bold shield, set between the wrap-round headlights: the true focal point of the forceful, aggressive styling of the car. An impression that is reinforced by the taut lines of the sides and by the slightly raked, tapered tail: a perfect synthesis of sturdiness and strength. Unusual and original, a real scene-stealer: the very best expression of the spirit of Alfa GT. Created to blend elegant taste and the pleasure of a sporty style of driving, the Alfa GT is unique right down to its refined minor details, ideal for all those seeking an exciting car with luxury refinements. 8 9 COMFORT AND PRESTIGE 02 Alfa GT embodies a mould-breaking concept of comfort: the freedom to choose high prestige materials and to combine these to match your personality – upholstered according to the tenets of fine Italian craftsmanship. Black cloth sport seats with red-stitching are standard on 2.0 JTS. Luxury leather seats are standard on 3.2 V6 and are available in black, tan or red leather. The Alfa GT comes with a sophisticated dual-zone climate control system, enabling two different temperatures simultaneously: one in the right part of the passenger compartment and the other in the left. High tech on board comfort is essential, with a host of features including: premium 8 Speaker Hi-Fi system with 10 disc CD Stacker and steering wheel mounted audio controls, cruise control, trip computer, power windows, remote central locking and rear parking sensors. A revolutionary multifunctional display in the middle of the Alfa GT facia provides the driver with information on the main trip parameters offering instant feedback on vehicle performance and the surrounding environment. The 3.2 V6 model further heightens levels of luxury with Bose sound system with MP3 capability that offers unparalleled music reproduction quality, 18” alloy wheels and alloy sports pedals. The GT; elegant, sporty and sophisticated, as only Alfa Romeo can be. 10 11 VERSATILITY 03 Alfa GT has the looks of a coupé but is, at the same time, a luxury saloon with surprisingly generous inside space and maximum comfort. Shaped to cater to different requirements and to adapt effortlessly and with great versatility to different driving, space and habitability requirements. The GT is generous with five seats for refined roominess with a level of sound-proofing that exalts the pleasure of driving in maximum silence. Its 60/40 split fold rear seats provide a highly flexible luggage area. By exploiting the many different combinations you can enjoy great versatility with a boot space that expands from 320 litres to 905 litres. 14 15 Power 04 Alfa GT embodies all of Alfa Romeo’s passion and tradition. A car that combines refined elegance and top-flight performance with impeccable control and unequalled safety: a refined sporting spirit that immediately stirs the enthusiasm of those seeking the emotions of powerful, comfortable and intuitive driving.

Full, progressive delivery even at low speed, in the tradition of Alfa Romeo 6-cylinder engines. The 176 kW 3.2 V6 24V with 6-speed manual transmission. A sturdy, full-bodied 6-cylinder engine that offers scintillating performance and unadulterated driving pleasure: smooth power delivery that stirs emotions but is also flexible and progressive: its low torque curve makes it possible to travel in sixth gear at less than 2000 rpm and to accelerate smoothly without having to change gear. An impeccably-behaved power unit that brings new pleasure to everyday driving. Additionally, the 4 cylinder 2.0 JTS manual and 2.0 JTS Selespeed deliver a scintillating 121kW @ 6400 rpm and 206Nm @ 3250 rpm. kW 121,32 - 6400 giri Nm 20,58 - 3250 giri 2.0 JTS Nm 385 350 315 280 245 210 175 140 105 70 35 0 kW 165 150 135 120 105 90 75 60 45 30 15 0 2000 kW Nm 4000 6000 - 2.0 JTS / 2.0 JTS Selespeed. Power 122 kW at 6400 rpm. Torque of 206 Nm at 3250 rpm. Unmatched performance and maximum fuel economy for a direct injection petrol engine. With the option of a Selespeed sequential transmission, the 2.0 JTS Alfa GT delivers a rewarding sports car drive without having to take your hands off the wheel. This advanced transmission technology offers the best of both worlds; the ease of not having to use the clutch pedal and the pure driving pleasure of shifting precisely when you want to. In sometimes unavoidable peak hour traffic, 'City' mode does away with driver gear selection all together. Automatic gear selection when you want it! 16 17 CONTROL 05 Alfa GT has stability and control built into its DNA. Double circuit hydraulic brakes complete with latest generation ABS and EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distributor). VDC system (Vehicle Dynamic Control), Alfa Romeo’s original interpretation of the ESP, that restores vehicle trajectory in the case of loss of stability. ASR, which prevents slipping of the wheels and the MSR system that prevents skidding. Total control, guaranteed by solutions inherited from racing, such as the high double wishbone front suspension which keeps the tyres always perpendicular to the road. This guarantees maximum stability even at high speeds, as well as greater agility on mixed terrain. 18 19 Overseas model shown. SAFETY 06 The focal element of Alfa GT’s unequalled safety is the torsional rigidity of the bodyshell which helps to guarantee maximum stability and road-holding. Around its strong bodyshell, Alfa GT features an array of top class equipment: the FPS (Fire Prevention System) with tank-locking valve and inertia switch that cuts off the flow of fuel in the case of impact in some types of accidents, seat belts with inertia reel and load limiter at the front and rear, fully collapsible, adjustable steering column, antiintrusion bars in the doors, energy-absorbing internal trim. The GT provides 6 standard airbags including side curtain airbags that open from the top down in order to protect the head of the front passenger. Maximum safety features provide comfort and confidence, allowing you to fully appreciate the intense emotions of brilliant driving. 20 21 PERSONALITY 07 EXTERIOR SOLID COLOURS 601 Black 289 Alfa Red METALLIC COLOURS 565 Alfa Silver 651 Stromboli Grey 876 Carborio Black INTERIOR LEATHER (3.2 V6 only) 495 Tan 451 Black 491 Red A comprehensive range of interior and exterior appointments are available across the entire Alfa GT range by specifying any of three interior trim levels that can be selectively matched to five exterior colours to cater for the most discerning of personal tastes.

It occupies a place apar t. It is a kind of disease, this passion for a means of transpor t. It is a way of life, a ver y special way of thinking about a powered vehicle. It’s hard to define. It is one of those irrational human traits that defy logical definition. It’s to do with feelings and passions, things that have more to do with the hear t than the brain. It’s a way of thinking that derives from racing, where excellence is indispensable and the pressure to per form is constant … We have always believed that these concepts find their true expression in the cars we sell – their drivability, the way the driver ‘feels’ the car in his hands.” Orazio Satta, Technical Director, Alfa Romeo – 1962 www.alfaromeo.com.au WARRANTY (Australia): 3 year/100,000 km Alfacare warranty, 6 years against per forating corrosion, 3 year on paintwork, 3 year Alfacare Roadside Assist.
