The Alfa Romeo Alfetta, a stylish and sporty sedan produced between 1977 and 1987, was a significant model for the Italian automaker. The 1981 model year, specifically, saw the Alfetta enter its final phase of production, with subtle refinements and updates to its already impressive package. The Alfetta's defining characteristic was its innovative 'transaxle' layout, a design that positioned the transmission and differential at the rear axle. This contributed to a near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution, giving the car an exceptional handling balance, a key element in its renowned driving experience. Under the hood, the 1981 Alfetta offered a range of powerful petrol engines, including the 1.6-liter, 2.0-liter, and 2.5-liter units. The 2.0-liter engine stood out for its smooth and responsive performance, while the 2.5-liter variant delivered a thrillingly powerful acceleration.
The exterior design of the 1981 Alfetta remained true to its classic lines, boasting flowing curves, a sloping roofline, and a distinct 'shark nose' front end. The interior offered a blend of Italian craftsmanship and practicality, with well-appointed seats, an uncluttered dashboard, and a driver-focused layout. The Alfetta appealed to a discerning audience who sought a car that offered a unique blend of performance, style, and Italian flair. Its popularity was further enhanced by its reputation for reliability, thanks to its robust construction and meticulous engineering. While the car's production ended in 1987, the Alfetta remains an iconic model, embodying the spirit of Alfa Romeo and its tradition of building exceptional automobiles.
