6. Alfa Romeo GTV6
The Tipo 105 successor was the coupe version of Alfetta, which was introduced in the late ’70s. This car (chassis code 116) had very advanced construction and suspension and featured several interesting details. First, it had a transaxle gearbox which vastly improved weight distribution, thus handling. Second, it had a De Dion type rear axle which helped to corner and driving dynamics. With a 2.5-liter V6 engine in the front, the GTV6 delivered some 160-170 HP and pretty vivid performance by the standards of the day.
Even today, GTV6 is known for its perfect driving dynamics, solid acceleration times, and a fantastic soundtrack from the high revving V6. Interestingly, this car was sold in the USA and even sold with an optional turbo kit by Callaway performance which was good for a whopping 233 HP. The prices are pretty affordable and this could be a perfect started classic if you are into Italian sports cars.
