Model history:

The abbreviation "GTA" at Alfa Romeo is reminiscent of the legendary Giulia Sprint GTA built from 1965 for use in touring car racing, where the "A" stands for "Allegeritta" and German means "relieved". After a long break, the abbreviation GTA reappeared for the first time in 1992: on the Alfa Romeo 155, then the Alfa 156 GTA was used and in 2003 the 147 GTA was added. In the same compact class car from Alfa Romeo called 147, the Italian carmaker planted a 250 hp 3.2-liter V6 engine. In the scene, this engine is known as the Busso V6, because its basic design with a cylinder angle of 60 degrees goes back to a development by Giuseppe Busso. The 147 GTA is home to the most powerful version of this Busso V6.
