Six Appeal: The Story of the Alfa Romeo Alfa 6

First envisaged in the Sixties by a rising, confident Alfa Romeo, the Alfa 6 was finally launched in 1979 by a far different company: one fighting an uphill battle for its own survival against formidable odds. Misunderstood and underappreciated in period, this model is now, forty years after its launch, finally gaining appreciation among the most ardent Alfa Romeo fans...

Automotive Designer and Historian Matteo Licata tries to finally set the record straight about this often maligned Alfa Romeo model, with a book rigorously based on original documents from the period.

Alfa Romeo GTV6 - de la route à la piste (2e édition)

The Alfa Romeo GTV 6, presented in November 1980, was produced until the end of 1986. Powered by the first Alfa V6 with electronic injection, it would have a great career on a global scale. An aura constantly reinforced by its successes in competition on French territory and around the world.
Today, this last true coupe of the old Alfa school seduces collectors and animates vintage races where it can still play its fantastic symphony.

This work, the first in French on the GTV-6, includes many unpublished illustrations. All versions and special series are described in great detail. And, based on the testimonies of drivers and preparers of the time, this book traces the rich track record of this sports car.

Alfa Romeo Alfetta - Berlina e GT

The late 1960s. Alfa Romeo came to the end of a great decade of constant technical and sales success with the desire and need to change. The Giulia project, which had already matured with the appearance of the 1750, continued to grow, but with just a few aesthetic improvements until a little before the arrival of the 2-litre.

At the same time, the company opened up a new technical route it would take as well as a fresh styling orientation towards creating cars of sharper and more taut lines specifically for the Alfetta, which was to rise to the task of becoming the protagonist in the intermediate and superior cubic capacity segments. But the new saloon had to live with its sister car for six years, born with a changed front rather than the Alfetta's rear gearbox layout. Despite that difference, the new car became an iconic model in the history of Alfa.

This book covers the technical, industrial and stylistic history of a car that was even able to take the motorised lead in films, many of them Italian police sagas of the '70s.
The second part of the book deals specifically with the historic, technical, stylistic and sporting history of the Giorgetto Giugiaro-designed GT, a model which, even today, is a must in all its forms for all Alfa lovers. As always, this book is also an accurate guide to the cars' complete restoration.
