Alfa Romeo Alfetta Sedan
Added on May 23 by Luke

1981 Alfetta sedan daily driver. 5 speed with a hopped up 2.0l twin-cam, (head work, hot cams, exhaust.) She’s bright red, loud, with a lumpy idle and a 6k red line.

Curb weight is only 1140kg (2513lbs), making the Alfetta a comparative light weight by the standard of todays sedans. As such, the car is quite tossable and feels right at home on twisty roads.

1 Vote for you. I had a 72 Berlina and I vote just because the engines are AWESOME! I miss the growl.

Dissapointed I can't give this ANOTHER upvote, just for the new picture. Seriously cool ride.

Gotta vote for an Alfetta. Attactive without being outrageous. The word “handsome” was meant for lines like that.

Thanks for all the comments, guys. Sadly, I've just sold the Alfetta to a lady who flew over, then drove it 1000km home. I can say with certainty that it won't be my last Alfa. Great cars, they are.
