Designed by Ital Design, the Alfetta coupe was released in May 1974 with a 1.8-litre engine. Two years later, a 1.6-litre and a 2-litre were added to the range. At the end of 1980, the GTV received a facelift and larger black bumpers (reproduced here). That is when the famous 2.5-litre V6 appeared. This 130 hp 4-cylinder 2-litre version became the standard version.
