Coupe (1963 to 1977)

Building on the foundations of the earlier Giulietta, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Coupé (Type 105) was introduced in 1963 as a sophisticated front-engine, rear-wheel-drive GT that remained in production until 1977. The lineage is defined by the Bertone-designed Sprint GT, which evolved through various iterations including the "Stepnose" GTV, the entry-level GT Junior, and the range-topping 2000 GTV. These models predominantly featured the 1.3L to 2.0L Alfa Romeo Twin Cam inline-four engines, with the 1750 and 2000 GTV variants producing between 88kW and 112kW. Power was delivered exclusively via a five-speed manual transmission, supporting its positioning as a driver-centric performance coupé. The family also encompassed the exotic, tube-framed Giulia TZ (Tubolare Zagato) and the legendary Giulia Sprint GTA (Gran Turismo Alleggerita), a track-focused homologation special featuring aluminium body panels and a twin-spark 1.6L engine. In Australia, the 105 Coupé established a massive following through its dominance in the Australian Touring Car Championship and the Under 2.0L class at Bathurst, driven by legends like Alec Mildren and Doug Chivas. As the 105 series reached its twilight, it was replaced by the transaxle-equipped Alfetta GT and GTV series.
