Alfetta GTV 2.0 Turbodelta: The First Turbo Alfa Romeo

By the late 1970s, turbocharging was the way of the future, while rallying had been steadily increasing in popularity among enthusiasts and manufacturers alike. These factors, among others, led #AlfaRomeo racing department #Autodelta to develop a rally program around a turbocharged derivative of the existing 2 liters #AlfettaGTV.
Sporting regulations stipulated a minimum production of 400 road cars for homologation in Group 4 and, to avoid disruption on Alfa's production lines, the cars left the Arese plant as "regular" GTVs, then transformed into Turbodeltas at Autodelta's facility, located 12 Km away in Settimo Milanese.
