1982 Alfa Romeo GTV6 2.5 – The Soul of Italian Performance

Few cars capture the spirit of 1980s Italian motoring like the Alfa Romeo GTV6 2.5, a machine celebrated for its unmistakable design, balanced handling, and that glorious Busso V6 soundtrack.

This example, finished in elegant Silver Blue with a Silver Grey cloth interior, presents beautifully with 52,732 km indicated. The paint, trim, and interior show careful long-term ownership, while period details, from the Campagnolo-style wheels to the wooden steering wheel and gear knob  retain the car’s authentic character.

Under the bonnet lies the legendary 2.5-litre all-aluminium V6 engine with Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection, producing around 118 kW (160 hp). Power is delivered through a rear-mounted 5-speed transaxle gearbox, giving the GTV6 near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution and the sharp, communicative handling that made it a driver’s favourite.

The odometer, interior condition, and mechanical presentation suggest a well-preserved and lightly used example, with the car maintaining its originality and honest patina.

A landmark model in Alfa Romeo’s history, the GTV6 2.5 became a motorsport hero in touring car championships worldwide, from the European Touring Car Championship to South Africa’s own racing scene. Today, it stands as one of the most charismatic and engaging driver’s cars of its era.
