The new Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA - Excellent power-to-weight ratio

But engine power alone is not enough to ensure exceptional performance. And so the engineers also worked meticulously to reduce weight by up to 100 kilograms. Even on the base model Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, the propshaft, hood and roof are made of carbon fiber. On the Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA, the front bumper, front fenders and front fender extensions are also made of the ultra-light material. In addition, the driver and passenger seats are built on a shell of carbon fiber. Aluminum is used in the engine, doors and chassis, among other things. Various weight-optimized composite materials also represent lightweight construction at the factory. On the Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm, the side window and rear window are made of lightweight polycarbonate. The combination of reduced weight and increased engine output of 397 kW (540 hp) results in exceptional driving performance. Thanks to automatic start (Launch Mode), the new Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds. As a super sports car for everyday use, the model version GTA offers five seats. The Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm is designed as a road-legal two-seater with a roll bar in the rear.
