Design

The designers who created the Alfa 147 GTA were given a very specific brief: create a car for everyday use that could, under the right circumstances, deliver its owner the performance, behaviour and driving sensations of a car built for the racetrack.

The Alfa 147 GTA is designed to perform. The bonnet is drawn out lengthways and the tail tapers when viewed from the top or side, making the car look more slender and dynamic. The Alfa 147 GTA has flared wheel arches to accommodate wide 17" wheels; and the foglights have been shifted toward the outside of the car to free the air intakes.

At the rear, the 147 GTA features a revised bumper. The lower part of the rear end looks completely different from the original 147 model from boot floor level downward. The final touch is provided by two oval exhaust tailpipes in line with one of the brand's classic styling cues.
