Alfa Romeo GTA Parts & Accessories

The Alfa Romeo GTA — Gran Turismo Alleggerita, meaning "lightened" — is one of the most celebrated homologation special cars in motorsport history. Produced from 1965 to 1975, the GTA was built for racing in the European Touring Car Championship and used an alloy-bodied version of the Giulia Sprint GT chassis with a 1.6L twin-plug twin-cam engine tuned by Autodelta. Original GTAs are among the most valuable and historically significant Alfa Romeos in existence.

Popular Upgrades

For replica and period-correct tribute GTA builds, Weber DCOE carburetor setups, twin-plug cylinder head conversions, and performance exhaust systems are the most historically authentic upgrades. Suspension components including Koni sport shocks and front anti-roll bars improve handling on the 105-series chassis to period-correct competition specifications. Lightweight body panels and safety equipment are popular for owners building period-style race tributes.

What does GTA stand for in Alfa Romeo?

GTA stands for Gran Turismo Alleggerita, meaning "Lightened Grand Touring" in Italian. The Alleggerita designation referred to the extensive use of aluminum body panels and other weight-saving measures that reduced curb weight to approximately 1,540 pounds compared to the standard steel-bodied GT Junior.

Is the modern Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA related to the original GTA?

The 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA and GTAm are modern homages to the original, using the name to honor the lightened special tradition. While they share the GTA name and spirit of racing homologation, they are based entirely on the modern Giulia platform rather than the 105-series architecture.
