Alfa Romeo Alfetta Parts & Accessories

The Alfa Romeo Alfetta was produced from 1972 to 1987 and introduced Alfa's innovative transaxle layout — placing the gearbox and differential at the rear axle for near-perfect weight distribution. Available as a sedan and later as the GTV6 coupe, the Alfetta platform is beloved by classic Italian car enthusiasts for its handling balance, the Busso V6's soundtrack, and the mechanical sophistication that distinguished Alfa Romeo from more conventional contemporaries.

Popular Upgrades

Performance exhaust systems for the Alfetta's carbureted twin-cam or Busso V6 improve sound and power on a platform that rewards mechanical attention. Suspension upgrades including sport springs and shock replacements improve the Alfetta's already excellent transaxle-balanced handling. Weber and Dell'Orto carburetor upgrades, ignition improvements, and fuel system refreshes are practical performance mods that improve reliability and response on these classic Italian machines.

What engine options did the Alfa Romeo Alfetta have?

The Alfetta sedan used a 1.6L, 1.8L, or 2.0L twin-cam four-cylinder. The Alfetta GT and GTV coupe variants used these same four-cylinders plus the 2.5L Busso V6 in the celebrated GTV6, which produced approximately 160 horsepower and is the most performance-oriented of all Alfetta-based variants.

How does the Alfetta's transaxle affect parts sourcing?

The rear transaxle layout means the Alfetta uses unique driveshaft and differential arrangements compared to front-engine/rear-axle cars of the same era. Sourcing quality transaxle parts and rear suspension components requires specialty suppliers familiar with classic Italian vehicles, but the Alfetta community maintains solid support networks for most mechanical needs.
