This video is part 3 from a series of 4 videos about the Alfa Romeo GTV V6. In this third part I will show and drive the Alfa Romeo GTV6 2.5 from the eighties. This is called the 116-generation and was an evolution of the Alfetta. I will tell you about its history, the driving experience and the wonderful noise from its Busso V6.

The 2.5 busso V6 as fitted to this car makes the most glorious noise of any engine I know

The GTV6 2.5’s manual steering is very responsive to input but has a slow ratio to make low speed effort easier. Most 70s-80s sports cars had a lot of body roll. I’ve added Koni shocks and thicker anti-sway bars on mine. The shifter (and A/C) was much improved in the 1986 versions. All in all the GTV6 offers a wonderful vintage driving experience. If you have the means I suggest picking one up. Che Bella!

It’s almost 40 years ago, so that is getting old for a car ;-)

All GTVs and GTV6s had the plastic bumpers from 1981 (I've got one...). The integrated dash was also introduced into all cars sometime in the early-mid '80s (I heard they kept fitting the split dash to 4 cylinder cars til they had run out of stock). I'm in the minority, but I actually prefer the look of the plastic bumper models - I think it makes them look longer, lower and less "boat-like". I have however removed the rear bumper enitirely from mine (for repairs initially) but i think it looks much better without.

Thanks for the extra info. There was a special version named “Grand Prix” and that GTV had the plastic bumpers in body color.

@@SoontobeClassics Yes that's true. There were other special versions that had them too (Zender body kits, and turbo versions). But my car also has body colour bumpers, and is not a Grand Prix or any other special version. I suspect customers could probably specify it on any model, depending what country the car was delivered to - I'm in Australia. Not that it really matters! Great review.

Which exhaust is on this gtv6?

Hi Daniel, it looked like a replica of an original exhaust but I don’t know the brand. Best regards, Juriaan

I thought all GTV6 had the seats with integrated net head supports.

@SoontobeClassics 4 жыл бұрын

Maybe someone can explain that, but I think it depended on the model year.

@@SoontobeClassics Must be so then. Don't think I've ever seen one live with the seats in this one though, and I've been to many meetings over the years, so perhaps they weren't sold in Sweden. Never had a GTV6 myself, it's one of the models that has eluded me somehow.

No. It came with facelift happened in September 1983. So actually modelyear 1984 and on have the net. There were a bunch of other changes they've planned (and fortunately didn't carry on - i.e. ugly, boxy, one-piece headlights, redesigned bumpers and dash), but financial shortages hold them back to apply. Eventhough the upholstery in the displayed car isn't original either. It was renewed over its lifetime with these flat-surface patterns with 2 longitudinally running stich-lines. Normally seats have transversal stiching every 3-4 cms either on leather or on fabric material. FYI, the ET-headrests can be found in its predcessor in the Bertone GTV and as I remember in the Montreal too.

The bumpers are not plastic, they have aluminum underneath, duh, do some research before you make comments like that.!

Why on earth do you make such a negative review when you have absolutely no respect and idea what you are driving? The car is 40 years old - what do you expect ? Furthermore it has a beautiful 2.5 liter Busso engine - the best sound ever coming out of a V6 engine. The car is an absolute Masterpiece and a classic that is a part of motoring history. I had the “ Monaco “ version and there is not a day where I do not regret that I sold that car.

Hi Jeppe, I do not think the review is negative at all. It just points out the actual differences between the older and newer GTVs. The age difference (comparing a 40 year old car to 20/25 year old cars) is also mentioned. So yes, it handles differently and during steering and shifting you can really feel it’s a lot older. The V6 however sounds brilliant indeed. And it’s still a lot of fun to drive a GTV6 in weekends and holidays. Have you ever driven one of the newer GTVs? Best regards, Juriaan
