The new Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA - aerodynamics developed by Sauber Engineering with Formula 1 know-how

When developing the aerodynamics, Alfa Romeo's technicians benefited greatly from Sauber Engineering's know-how. With 50 years of experience in motorsport - including 27 years in Formula 1 - the Swiss company has extensive expertise in aerodynamics. The wind tunnel in Hinwil is one of the most modern in Europe. Sauber Engineering was involved in the design, prototype construction and production of various aerodynamic components for the Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA. Examples are the adjustable front splitter, the side skirts, the rear diffuser, the rear spoiler of the GTA and the rear wing of the GTAm. Thanks to the adjustment functions of the front splitter and rear wing, the aerodynamics of the Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm can be adapted to the specifics of a racetrack or the wishes and preferences of the driver. The rear diffuser of the Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA / GTAm increases the contact pressure on the rear axle and thus optimizes directional stability and road holding at high speeds. The Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm generates twice the contact pressure of the GTA model, and the airflow pushes the vehicle onto the road with three times as much force as the production version Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. These values ​​alone testify to the efficiency of the work of the Alfa Romeo and Sauber technicians. The two drivers of the F1 team Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN, Antonio Giovinazzi and Kimi Räikkönen, were also involved in this development process. They played an active role in test drives in Balocco and gave invaluable advice, especially on aerodynamic components and driving behavior
