About the Alfa Romeo GTV 916
The Type 916 Alfa Romeo GTV, designed by Enrico Fumia at Pininfarina, is celebrated for its striking wedge profile and distinctive circular quad-lamps. The 3.0-litre 24-valve 'Busso' V6 is the definitive engine for this model, providing a soulful soundtrack and smooth power delivery that compensates for the front-wheel-drive layout. Its chassis features a sophisticated multi-link rear suspension designed to provide sharp turn-in and reduce understeer. As one of the last Alfas built at the Arese plant, it has become a modern classic prized for its character and aesthetic.
