The GTA name is too unique.
To those who hoped Alfa Romeo would extend the resurrected GTA moniker, they will be disappointed. Fabio Migliavacca, Alfa’s product marketing chief, stated this in an interview with . He explained why the GTA version would not be available for the Stelvio SUV. Alfa Romeo reintroduced the GTA moniker by attaching it to the Giulia. The Giulia Quadrifoglio has 553 horsepower (398kilowatts) but it won’t have a Stelvio.
Migliavacca said to the publication that they had met about producing a Stelvio GTA. However, the company decided not to do so because it would not be “in accordance with customer expectations.” He also stated that any GTA model would need to be “the best possible” and that the Stelvio’s higher center-of gravity would make that difficult. They weren’t able to achieve the same goals as the Giulia GTA.
Alfa upgraded the Quadrifoglio’s twin-turbocharged, 2.9-liter V6 to make it more powerful (377 kW) for the Giulia GTA. This is the Stelvio Quadrifoglio’s current output. Alfa also reduced 221 pounds (100 kg) in weight and widened its rear track by 2.0 inches. The suspension was also updated with new shocks and springs. Alfa made a more powerful GTAm with two-seats and a roll bar. It is still street legal.
Alfa intends to produce 500 Giulia GTA models and GTAm models. However, there is a very slim chance that any of them will make it to the United States. The company stated that it was looking at “other key markets around the globe” to bring the GTA to market, which included the U.S. The company stated that the Giulia GTA would not be coming to the United States and that Alfa had no plans to expand its GTA name to other models. However, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio will continue to be Alfa’s high performance SUV of choice.
