The Alfa Romeo Alfetta, produced from 1977 to 1987, was a significant step forward for the Italian marque, representing a departure from the traditional rear-wheel drive layout that defined Alfa's identity for decades. The Alfetta, meaning "little Alfa," introduced a revolutionary front-wheel drive platform, a bold move that aimed to improve handling and interior space while staying true to Alfa's heritage of sporty performance. This pioneering design allowed for a spacious cabin with a low center of gravity, enhancing stability and providing a comfortable ride. The Alfetta's unibody construction, incorporating the suspension directly into the body structure, further contributed to its rigidity and handling prowess. Under the hood, the Alfetta was powered by a range of four-cylinder engines, with displacements ranging from 1.6 to 2.5 liters. These engines, known for their smooth operation and characteristic Alfa Romeo growl, were mated to a five-speed manual transmission. The Alfetta's design, a blend of practicality and performance, resonated with enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike. It was offered in a variety of trim levels, including the base model, the luxurious "Sedan" and "Super," and the more sporty "GT." The Alfetta's legacy, however, was not without its challenges. The front-wheel drive system, while innovative, resulted in some torque steer, particularly at high speeds. Despite this, the Alfetta proved a capable and enjoyable car to drive, earning a reputation for its handling, performance, and sophisticated design.
