1997 Alfa Romeo GTV Lusso review from Malta
"Sexy toy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Passenger window squeaks when closing.
Radio antenna stuck due to a long time not being used.
General comments?
It's the closest you can get to a Ferrari.
Very sporty sound when you go over 3500 revs, and keeps pushing until the rev limiter.
There's no need to modify anything, this car comes out from the factory with a racing engine and an awesome design by Pininfarina.
Other cars with same engine capacity are slower, even with a turbo.
