THE fastest and most powerful hatchback in its market segment, the Alfa Romeo 147 GTA goes on sale in the UK this month.
The heart of the Alfa 147 GTA is the same widely acclaimed, all-aluminium, 3.2 litre 24-valve V6 that powers the 156 GTA.
An uprated braking system features enlarged, 305 mm ventilated discs at the front, 276 mm rear discs, and highly visible, four-piston Brembo callipers all round.
In addition to six airbags, seatbelt pre-tensioners and a fully integrated Fire Prevention System, the new car comes with a comprehensive range of state-of-the-art electronic braking, traction control and stability systems.
Inside, Alfa 147 GTA trim includes a brand new, 3-spoke steering wheel, GTA seat and door panel upholstery, a black background to dedicated gauges and instruments, and lightweight, rubber-studded aluminium pedals and footrest.
Standard equipment levels are based on those of the Alfa 147 2.0 Lusso, and include remote central locking, electric windows, cruise control, dual zone climate control, heated electric door mirrors, a multifunction display and trip computer and a Bose sound system.
The 147 GTA goes on sale at £22,450 on-the-road.
