Giulia Sprint GT Veloce
The Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce, introduced at the 36th Geneva Motor Show in March 1966, represents high-performance version of Bertone-designed Giulia Sprint GT featuring 1.6-liter twin-cam inline-four engine producing 109 horsepower. The lightweight construction achieves just 1,020 kg (2,231 lbs) curb weight, contributing to nimble handling characteristics and top speed of 185 km/h (115 mph). The five-speed manual transmission and ATE disc brakes provide driver engagement and stopping power appropriate for sporting intentions. The distinctive step-nose front end and elegant proportions were styled by legendary designer Giorgetto Giugiaro while at Bertone, creating timeless design that remains admired among collectors and enthusiasts.
The Veloce variant distinguishes itself from standard Sprint GT through increased torque from newly designed cylinder head with revised inlet port geometry, delivering improved performance throughout rev range. As one of rarest and most desirable of 105 Bertone series, the Giulia Sprint GT Veloce represents quintessential Italian sports car combining lightweight construction, sophisticated twin-cam engine, precise five-speed gearbox, and beautiful coachwork. The combination of Alfa Romeo engineering excellence, Bertone elegant styling, and genuine sporting performance makes the Giulia Sprint GT Veloce highly collectible classic representing golden era of Italian automotive design and performance.
