Description
History of the Alfa Romeo GT Bertone 1963 was a landmark year in automotive history. At the Frankfurt Motor Show, icons such as the Porsche 901, the first Pagoda and the new Alfa Romeo coupé were presented. Sober, taut, harmonious and functional, these new coupes were designed by Giorgio Giugiaro on behalf of Bertone - some of the coachbuilder's most timeless and beautiful creations. Under the bonnet was Alfa Romeo's famous twin-camshaft engine, which had first appeared in 1953 in the Giulietta and, ten years later, was still considered one of the best four-cylinders in the world: aluminium engine block and cylinder head, two overhead camshafts, a robust duplex chain to drive them - and, in the case of the coupé, two twin-barrel carburettors. Combined with a sophisticated chassis and four-wheel disc brakes (standard!), this engine made the heart of any sports car enthusiast beat faster. The 1300 and 1600 GTA racing versions dominated the competition. On the racetrack, the Bertone GT racked up trophies, even after production ceased! More than 200u202f000 examples were produced in Arese, Italy. Unfortunately, corrosion and shoddy accident repairs have greatly reduced the number of examples in good condition worldwide.
