10 Memorable Compact European Sports Cars

7. Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV Tipo 105

Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV Tipo 105

One of the most iconic Italian sports coupes is the gorgeous Alfa Romeo Giulia Coupe, often called Tipo 105 Coupe for its chassis code. This was Bertone-designed two-door version of the legendary Giulia sedan which was Alfa`s main model during the `60s. Thanks to successful styling, wonderful details, peppy engines, and racing success, Alfa Giulia Coupe became popular as a separate model not just as a coupe version of a mass-produced sedan.

Introduced in 1963 under the name Giulia Sprint GT, this little Alfa stunned the car world with its sculptured lines and perfect stance. Under the hood was a small 1.6-liter four-cylinder twin-cam engine with an advertized 105 HP. The Tipo 105 had live rear axle and four-wheel disc brakes which were unheard of in the mid-`60s. Over the years, the power grew to 1.8-liters and 2.0-liters in later models. The final versions can be recognized by four headlights, wider taillights, and 2000 GTV badge. Those cars have 136 HP and glorious soundtrack thanks to high revving, all-alloy engine.
