1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce (GTA Tribute)
Italian racing heritage inspired this striking homage to one of motorsport’s most celebrated lightweight competitors. This particular tribute transforms a 1965 Giulia Sprint GT Veloce into a performance-focused interpretation of the legendary GTA race car, complete with period-appropriate modifications that honor the original’s competition pedigree.
The Bertone bodywork presents beautifully in Bluette paint over tan leatherette interior with fabric seat panels. Sitting on 14-inch GTA-style magnesium wheels wrapped in Yokohama Advan A050 tires, the stance immediately signals its sporting intentions.
Under the hood lies a heavily modified 2.0-liter twin-cam inline-four with extensive performance enhancements including lightened high-compression pistons, twin 40DCOE Weber carburetors, gas-flowed head with larger valves, modified camshaft, and electronic ignition. These modifications mirror the approach used on the original 1965 GTA race cars.
Additional upgrades include Koni shock absorbers, close-ratio five-speed transmission, upgraded brake calipers, lowered suspension, and a rear anti-sway bar. This comprehensive transformation creates an entertaining weekend companion that captures the spirit of Alfa Romeo’s racing heritage while delivering modern reliability and performance.
