Alfa Romeo Is Building A 600bhp+ New GTV And A 700bhp+ New 8C

We did a little squee when we heard this news - Alfa Romeo is bringing back two of its most evocative badges of recent times

Alfa Romeo is bringing back the famous and evocative GTV name for an all-new hybrid coupe with over 600bhp and all-wheel drive. Sorry, we seem to have drooled all over the floor.

The new GTV Quadrifoglio, announced as part of the Fiat Chrysler Group’s new five-year business plan, will be a halo sports car and a legacy of the Marchionne era. It’ll also be a little bit exciting, to say the least. Seating for four and a 50:50 weight distribution will be defining features, although the concept sketch seems to be a two-door.

This links back strongly to the rumoured Giulia Hybrid we brought to you two months ago, only with sleeker lines and a badge you really, really want to own.

Also on the agenda from the business plan is, excitingly, a new Alfa Romeo 8C. It’ll be very different to the car this writer might argue is the prettiest ever made; the new twin-turbo engine (no cylinder count yet) will be placed amidships driving the rear wheels, and the front axle will be electrified, potentially making this a switchable two- or four-wheel drive hybrid.

It will sprint to 62mph in less than three seconds, push out over 700bhp combined, and be based around a carbonfibre monocoque chassis. Both deeply exciting new prospects will be brought to market in 2022, FCA says. As news days go, this one just got a butt tonne better.

Hat tip to Charlie and Sonia Rizzo!

The 8C will be an 8 cylinder car, like the 4C is a 4 cylinder, and the old 8C was had a v8.

The 8C is named the 8C cause it has 8 cylinders, quite a shocker I know..

no cylinder count yet

if the new 8C didn’t get an 8-cylinder engine, I’m gonna be extremely disappointed. though I am expecting Alfa might take the engine from the 488 GTB considering it is a twin-turbocharged 8-cylinder engine.

Alfa’s are suppose to be sexy and just average at everything else, but all of this 50:50 weight distribution and sub 3 second 0-60 is to much. I can’t have all of those feelings down there like that. Time to get rich quick boys I’m not missing out

500+ hp cars are becoming very common nowadays…and I still find 200 plenty enough to toss around!
