The 1983 Alfa Romeo GTV 3.0 V6 is a South African homologation special, developed for racing and featuring a 3.0-liter "Busso" V6 engine. It was based on the GTV6 and produced in limited numbers (around 220 units) between 1983 and 1985. This model was a response to the competition from BMW in South Africa, specifically the BMW 535i.
Here's a more detailed look:
Engine:
The 3.0-liter V6 engine, developed by Autodelta, was installed to provide more power than the standard GTV6's 2.5-liter engine.
Homologation:
The car was built to meet homologation requirements for Group One racing, meaning a certain number (at least 200) had to be produced for road use.
Performance:
The GTV6 3.0 was known for its impressive performance, with a top speed of 224.2 km/h (139.3 mph) and 0-100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration in 8.36 seconds, according to Cars.co.za.
Distinctive Features:
The GTV6 3.0 had a distinctive fiberglass bonnet with a large bulge, unique Compomotive alloy wheels, and red striping on the bumpers and side moldings.
Racing Success:
It achieved success in South African motorsport, winning its debut race at the Lodge Group One International two-hour race at Kyalami in 1983.
Legacy:
The GTV6 3.0 is considered a South African icon and a highly desirable classic, especially among Alfa Romeo enthusiasts.
