Summary

After years of abstinence in the luxury sports car market, Alfa Romeo finally had a serious sports car to offer again with the GTV 6, which is also equipped with a wonderful V6-cylinder engine. The AR testers were thoroughly impressed, if not enthusiastic, which they summarized as follows: "The Alfa Romeo GTV 6 2.5 is one of the few real driving machines still in existence that is a lot of fun to drive, whereby the high performance fortunately does not have to be paid for with high fuel consumption thanks to the fuel-injected V6 engine. Apart from a few complaints, mainly concerning the gearshift and ventilation, the racy coupé was able to impress throughout the test."

Preview (beginning of the article)

After an absence of eleven years, an Alfa Romeo with a six-cylinder engine reappeared in April 1978, the Alfa 6 saloon. The six-cylinder engine is now also available in the GTV coupé: in November last year, the Alfetta coupé was given a visual makeover and is available either with the familiar two-liter engine or with the V6 engine with 2.5 liter displacement, which has been converted to fuel injection. An example of the second, 160 hp version underwent our test program. Although the six-cylinder V-type engine, equipped with sophisticated technology, was impressive in its first test by the "AR" (42/79), the six individual Dell'Orto carburetors initially distributed the fuel somewhat generously. For the Coupé GTV 6 2.5, the six individual carburetors were abandoned in favor of a modern, electronically controlled fuel injection system.
