The Bertone Style Centre is responsible for its design and it promotes an original type styling which makes the car something fascinating to look at. The GT boasts an almost complete range of safety systems along as with smart engineering all packaged in a slick sports coupe.
Alfa Romeo GT Coupe shows up with a quadruple overhead camshaft, and has a 3.2 liter V6 engine similar to what can b found on the Alfa GTV. Thus the GT Coupe is a power filled and with its torque level it is able to easily cruise at 2000rpm in top gear. The GT Coupe is able to go from zero to sixty in under seven seconds and can reach speeds of just over 150 miles per hour.
The GT Coupe range there are six models, the Lusso which comes in there engine sizes, the Turismo has two models and the Q2. The Lusso and the Turismo come in both gas and diesel options and the Q2 comes in diesel only. The Coupe’s transmission is a six-speed manual which is standard for the 1.9 diesel and the 3.2 V6 series but there is a five speed manual transmission with the 2 litre gas.
