Dec 3 combined with straight forward mechanicals and Alfa Romeo‟s responsive handling characteristics made this se- ries a very popular seller for years, in spite of the fact that they cost more than a Jaguar XKE or Corvette. The Alfa Romeo plant in Arese, just north of Milan produced the cars. As the details on the cars changed, so did the names creating confusion that is typical today. The 105 Se- ries cars started in 1964 known as the Giulia GT before ending production by 1975 as the GTV 2000. In between, there were names like GTC , GT Junior, GTV 1750, GTA, GTA Junior, GTA-SA, and GT-Am. Additionally, heavily modified versions of the 105 Series cars were produced. Ercola Spada, the chief stylist at Zagato, known for creating the Alfa Romeo TZ, which used many 105 series mechanicals, penned another 105 Series based car, the Alfa Romeo Junior Z which came with ei- ther the 1300cc or 1600cc engine depending upon year. Also at Bertone, Marcello Gandini famous for creating the Lamborghini Miura, also de- signed the Alfa Romeo Montreal show car onto a widened and modified 105 Series chassis and running gear. None of these cars looked at all like the car they were based on so few will ever confuse them as a GTV or GTA. With the many possible versions, enthusiasts, and Alfa Romeo fans can get confused by the cars and often refer to them under the generic GTV name if it‟s a street car, or GTA if a full race version. This is often incorrect so to help provide you the knowledge needed, I‟ll try to go over the key differences focusing on the GTAs in comparison to all the others. To start, since the “A” in GTA stood for Alleggerita, or lightened, the single largest weight savings was that all body panels were made out of Peraluman 25, which is a combination of aluminum, zinc, and manganese. This meant the standard welds wouldn‟t work so where seams are bonded together you‟ll find rivets, most noticeably along the drip rails. This also leads to a method for determining an original GTA from an excellent replica. With a magnet in hand, carefully hold it close to the cowl just ahead of the front windshield. If the magnet pulls, it is steel and the car did not start life as a GTA. Currently, all the other body panels can be purchased in aluminum, GTA Rivets but the cowl doesn‟t appear to be available to make a replica. Another quick thing to spot is the GTA loop door handle The newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club 105 Series cont’d... GTA door handles are a small aluminum loop just big enough to put a couple fingers into, with a separate push button. All non-GTA cars have a flush chrome handle about 3 inches wide. It was at Autodelta SpA, the race prep company headed up by Carlo Chiti which had recently been acquired by Alfa Romeo, where the specs for GTAs were developed. Chiti had a highly regarded history as an Alfa Romeo / Ferrari de- signer and engineer. Cars were being ordered with a number of optional race goodies so there can be mechanical or technical variations. Examples might be if customers opted for wheel flares, different wheel sizes, fuel tank options… Some cars were ordered with creative options, with the same said of non-GTAs so this won‟t help draw distinction be- tween cars. A quick look at the front of a GTA, the grill is a black mesh with a small chrome trim surround. The standard V shaped emblem is also slightly unique in that it was made of stamped stainless steel, plus the flat top fits just under the front body lip. GTVs have a similar style but it fits slightly higher and overlaps the front panel. One more emblem detail difference is that the GTA had the stan- dard round Alfa Romeo logo lower in the center emblem, just under the top bar. Once you‟ve seen the difference, even these subtleties are easy to spot. GTA wheel flare option Just below the grill, GTAs came with two horizontal mesh covered vent open- ings at approximately 3 x 9 inches with rounded corners. Similar but slightly GTA grill, openings, & mesh smaller versions were only used on the later models of GTV 2000 and GTV 1750, but both of these cars were produced without the “stepnose” look of all GTAs making these easy to distinguish. Glancing inside the cars there are a number of key details as well. The GTA steering wheels were three spoke Hellebore brand. Aftermarket versions of these wheels can be bought, but typically have 7 mounting holes, while the originals had the 6 holes. The inner door panels were smooth vinyl with simple aluminum door handles, and window crank. The door pull is a small black vinyl strap with a braided look. Non GTAs had a variety of textured door panels with sound deadening and larger handles with robust door pulls. One cool secret is that since most GTA buyers chose the option of Plexiglas windows to save weight, the window lift mechanism was made of lightweight aluminum, after all, it was rais- ing a lightweight “glass”. Another option that a few customers bought was aluminum flooring. Since this made the body flex a little too much, it often wasn‟t worth the weight savings. The result is that seat rails are riveted down. Based on GTA the type of racing that customers were planning to enter, some chose the optional cross brace between the rear wheel wells that added a little stiffening to the body. While looking at the rear wheel wells, you may note that some GTAs have deeper rear wells to accommodate larger wheels without fender flares. Under the front hood, a few GTA items are recognizable in both the GTA 1600 and the GTA Jun- ior 1300 cars. The most obvious is they‟re twin spark engines. The larger valves necessitated a cylinder head design with twin plugs pushed slightly towards the outside, along with a unique Marelli distributor to fire the 8 sparkplugs. Also needing more air, larger 45DCOE Weber carbu- retors were fitted with a unique GTA airbox assembly. Larger exhaust headers were also made, with the GTAs using a carefully crafted, very rare header design. As well, radiator shrouding was carefully done to ensure best use of airflow for cooling both the radiator and the added oil cooler. Harder to see, but only used on the GTA cars was weight saving magnesium on items like the camshaft and timing chain covers, bell housing, oil pan and sump. While in the engine bay, if you spot the chassis numbers, for reference, all GTAs begin with 613xxx or 848xxx. The newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club 105 Series cont’d... Even the trunk had some GTA only details. With the trunk closed, the GTA insignia was noted. With the trunk open you can see the riveted in aluminum spare tire well. Some GTAs were fitted with a 23.75 gallon (90 Ltr) fuel tank designed for endurance racing. This tank was so large it had to be installed from below the car. Otherwise, the standard GTA fuel tank at 12.1 gallons (46 Ltr) fit inside the trunk. GTA trunk / gas tank In all, around 500 each of the GTA 1600 and GTA 1300 Junior were produced in both Stradale (Street) and Corsa (Race) versions. They dominated sports car racing in 1966, 1967 and 1968 and contin- ued as strong competitors up through the 1970s. In 1967, the GTA-SA was produced, but only 10 were made. The SA stood for Sov- From L to R: GTV… note dual headlights and door handles, GTA… note stepnose, and GT-Am, note flush nose. ralimentata; Italian for super- charged. Produced to compete in Group 5 Touring Car races with overall wins at Hockenheim in 1967 and four more races the following year. Starting in 1970, the GT-Am race cars, based on the steel bodied GTV 1750 and GTV 2000 were produced in low quantities utilizing extra wide pontoon style fiberglass fender flares.

  • Driven by Elegance
    #BADRUTT’S MOMENTS Driven by elegance St. Moritz, 6 March 2019. For many decades, the iconic frozen lake in St. Moritz has been a popular and unique location for spectacular, jaw-dropping events – and therefore the only possible venue for the «Edition Zero» of The I.C.E. St. Moritz - The International Concours of Elegance - which took place on the 2nd of March. The spring sun honoured its premiere, shining warmly on a beautiful display of top vintage, classic and racing cars. When four high-class partners decide to join forces to create a day full of timeless elegance, sleek beauty and simple joy, you are in for an amazing ride. The I.C.E. St. Moritz was launched by Lisippa SAGL in partnership with Badrutt’s Palace Hotel, St. Moritz and sponsored by Pirelli. The “2019 Edition Zero” of The I.C.E. St. Moritz saw over 2’500 spectators admiring 50 elegant cars by signature brands such as Ferrari, Bentley, Bugatti, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Lancia, Porsche and others. The success of Saturday’s pilot project of The I.C.E St. Moritz strength- ened the decision to establish The International Concours of Elegance from February 2020 as an annual occasion - but on a grander and more elaborate scale. Created as a «preview» for future events, The I.C.E. St. Moritz 2019 invited a small, but highly exclusive group of participants with the show proving to be a truly magical teaser for what car lovers and fans of elegant joy can look forward to in coming years.

  • Pininfarina Extra
    LUISS TEACHING CASES Brand Development through Brand Extension and Licensing: Pininfarina Extra Marco Francesco Mazzù Luiss Guido Carli In collaboration with Pininfarina Management TEACHING CASES 2020 ISBN 978-88-6105-533-9 Introduction Year 2012 started as a key defining moment for Pininfarina Group and its future. In the eyes of the management team, the last five years have been full of hitches. A lot of personal energies have been dedicated to guide the organization through a set of diverse and serious challenges: years between 2007 and 2011 were characterized by the Global crisis of the Automotive sector, main historical focus of the group; some investments in partnership with major OEM did not reach the expected pay-off; the group has been forced to rethink its historical focus of activities, and, even more important, the dramatic death of Andrea in 2008, CEO of the Group at that time, forced an unexpected and unplanned change in leadership an internal governance, including the entrance of the first external members to Pininfarina’s family in top management position. Despite con- tinuing to succeed with its image in the market, as testified by winning several international “best designer” awards1, a strong bank intervention has been needed to guarantee company con- tinuity, and sales were not coping up with the expected level to support future growth. In addition, some of the core activities have been divested. It has been clear to the management, that the historical company focus, and the Automotive mar- ket was not anymore enough to support a healthy outlook. Something more should also be done to develop other “internal jewels” of the company as Pininfarina Extra (PFE), founded in 1986, and focused on bringing the company’s design culture and comprehension of modern life, culture and social paradigms to other categories of industrial design.
