The Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint coupe debuted in 1963 on the new 105 Series wheelbase. It was the work of Giorgetto Giugiaro, who was working for Bertone at the time, and it was such a subtle masterpiece that it was continued for 14 years with minimal changes. The car was initially available with a 106-hp, 1,570-cc DOHC four-cylinder engine, which progressively increased to 130 hp and 1,779cc as the “1750” in 1966, and finally the “2000” 1,926-cc, 129-hp engine in 1971. The top street model of this line was the Gran Turismo Veloce, which appeared in 1967.
Giugiaro’s Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV coupe was supremely elegant and also quite usable, with a 5-speed transmission, four-wheel disc brakes, reclining seats, and full instrumentation. The 2000 model was available in Europe in 1971, but did not go on sale in the U.S. until 1972, where it’s most easily distinguished by the grill with multiple horizontal slats. Top speed remained about the same as the 1750 at around 120 mph, though aficionados note that the bigger displacement trades low-end torque for the high-revving willingness of the earlier motor. All Alfas of this period handle extremely well, with superior turn-in to any equivalent British sports car. The 1750 and 2000 GTV models have a cult following, with certain sects favoring the smoothness of the 1750 over the power of the 2000, and vice versa.
