The Alfa Romeo GTV (Gran Turismo Veloce) and the Alfa Romeo Spider are one and the same car with two different bodies. The PTO is a 2 + 2 coupe and the Spider is a two-seater convertible. The PTO continues the tradition of the long-discontinued Alfetta GTV coupe, while the Spider has replaced the Giulia Spider, which has been in production for 30 years. Both cars were designed by Pininfarina and have typical Italian features - two round paired headlights, an Alfa Romeo triangular radiator grille, a sharp wedge-shaped edge with a full-length edge. The rear part is as if cut and completes the great silhouette of the Alfa Romeo. The car is very low, so getting in or out is just like a Ferrari: difficult. Spider and PTO are manufactured on a Fiat Type 2 platform. The most powerful engine is not a shame for the great design of the car - 3.2 V6 24V 240 hp (176.5 kW), capable of acceleration from 0-100 km / h in 6.3 seconds and is the fastest Alfa Romeo produced at that time. The Spider and PTO were updated in 1998. The biggest difference is visible on the front - now the grille is larger and goes almost to the bottom of the car, inside - the colors of the dashboard change from green to red. These PTOs and Spiders, like some enthusiasts, are the latest true Alfa Romeo models. The next models - 159, Brera, Spider are taller, bigger, V6 engines are started by GM, and Alfa Romeo designs only the engine heads.
