How does the Fiat Coupe compare to the Alfa GTV

[@krs5259]

Fiat should bring out a 2020 Coupe.. It would sell like hot cakes

[@Kj16V]

Except they'd probably make it a 3 cylinder hybrid electric, or something atrocious.

[@hayabusaorlovina2761]

Agree, new coupe would be great

[@Kylirr]

Would it really though?

[@thomaswilliamson7067]

Always loved the look of the Fiat Coupe, it was and still is a beautifully unusual design. Love to see how it all turns out if you keep it or sell it on.

[@ItaliaAutos]

ill do some more videos on in as early views are good.

[@pereldh5741]

My 20V Turbo was still the best car I’ve ever had. Bulletproof, 340bhp, frugal, comfortable on long trips and able to set record times at Nurburgring & Spa I STILL haven’t bettered... Also of course it looked great. 2002-2014, 280000km.

Back in a day I was toying with the idea of transplanting 4wd from my Alfa 155 Q4 into Fiat Coupe. Comparing them directly, Alfa Gtv multi-link rear suspension is a work of art, while Coupe is standard Tipo platform shared between Fiat Tipo/Bravo/Brava/Marea, Alfa 145/146/155, Lanca Dedra and few others. Standard form, Alfa Gtv v6 was always my preferred choice, but both beautiful cars.

Always loved the way the Coupe looks.

Would have snapped this up a few months ago. Beautiful car and a great job done on it. That interior is gorgeous I haven’t seen a tan one before. Would have a non-turbo anyway, more reliable and usable but still really good fun.

I think its brilliant you appreciate these cars and bring them back to life, most people just scrap them,or break for spares, they are design classics, and should be cherished and saved, classy and sporty

When I was a kid I went to the motor show in Glasgow in about 1995. I wanted to see the gtv and the coupe. The coupe won hands down. Style, pace, space and the interior was a beautiful place to be. Bought a le ten years later and have almost had it since.

spares for gtv are easier to get. but not impossible. once its moted and finished i will

Underrated cars and always over looked the coupes. I had one and it would still pull at 150mph and this was a long time ago. Yea they were a bit skity when really pushed to there limits on the bends nut that said good handling cars fast aswell. I'd have one for sure

[@Viscosity-cb3xl]

Love the 16 Valve turbo models, same engine used in the amazing Lancia Delta Integrale

[@Josh-er6oz]

I had a yellow 20valve Turbo 5 years ago, drove past it at a local dealer and decided to buy it there and then, best car I’ve ever owned and regret selling it to this day… the 5 cylinder warble and pull from the turbo is addictive, fast by today’s standards let alone the 90’s! Looking at getting a v6 GTV or a Brera next 🤞🏽

[@niallrobertmoran]

Love these cars - always wanted one and they've aged really well! How much to get that one as is? Would be a great rolling project 😁

[@jamesmacdonald3090]

Owned a GTV lusso from new and a Coupe turbo a few years later, loved the interior of the Coupe but the Alfa always felt better quality. GTV was sexy from all angles whereas the FIAT seemed a car of two halfs much like the mk1 Hyundai Coupe. Although great fun to drive I sold the FIAT as it drank fuel like a fish. Always regretted selling the GTV but just not practical for a new family, traded it in on a Mazda estate... yawn. I would have another GTV in a shot, infact anything Alfa! Had several 156 and 159, defo enthusiasts cars as mine had the finest of everything. FIAT always felt like the poor relation.

[@tomwebb7091]

I had a Fiat Bravo HGT 155 of the day which shared the platform of this car. It handled and rode appallingly but the engine made it. Replaced with a 916 GTV V6 and despite being nose heavier still handled far better... the multilink rear makes a VAST difference to the chassis. I bet the 2.0 TS GTV is a brilliant drive

The Bravo hgt had a bad rep. 👎

[@davidbates247]

[@HFStuart]

Chassis is the same on them but the rear suspension on the GTV is bespoke - totally different to the coupe. Turbo coupe is slightly less nose heavy than a V6 GTV but the bigger NA engine doesn't expose the front wheel drive limitations in the same way the Coupe Turbo does. Anorak fact - the 16V non turbo Fiat Coupe used the same gearbox as the Lancia Beta

[@rezaq1]

Can you tell me more about the two 166’s in this video? My fav recent Alfa is a facelift 166 I’ve which I’ve had two. I really would love a black TI (I know of one in Stratford, London but need to meet the owner)

[@cylturbskie]

Without an adaptor i doubt it.

[@pewwpew]

You forgot the most important thing, what is it like to drive compared to a gtv and which do you prefer?

[@ItaliaAutos]

The turbo is an amazing drive. i think the gtv has it over the coupe because of the multi link susp on the rear the coupe doesnt have that.

[@pereldh5741]

Italia Autos Agree you can feel the rear axle, but the Fiat seats 4 WITH luggage, easily tuned to over 300bhp so much faster, great handling with bilstein/eibachs and the design inside out has held up much better than the GTV. I now drive a Bmw Z4M Coupe but still hasn’t been able to beat my Fiat-BTG at Nürburgring.. Also they are great on long trips. Bulletproof mechanics

[@16valveBravoSpoonz]

@@pereldh5741 agreed, i love the GTV too but the PH1 interior of the GTV is very dated compared to the Coupe, the PH2 was improved alot but still doesnt have that look and feel of the coupe.

Guys, can you comment on the front lights. What can you do to them when they go off if you know what I mean? Some look like it’s inner wear/deterioration and on others outer with age and sunlight I guess. Do they have to be replaced or can they be refurbished? Thanks

They can be easily refurbished and there are some tutorial on KZbin. Otherwise ask a good bodywork shop.

Back in the day, I used to work in security and one place I guarded was Blackburn in Lancashire's local Fiat/Alfa dealership, so I was able to check them closely. The main alfa romeo car of that era was the 155 and 164, the Fiat of that era were the coupe, bravo and marea weekend, I would still have merea weekend even now, never had chance before.

Alfa needs to sell some cheap models in the US if they want people to buy Giulias and Stelvios. Alfa has zero brand recognition in the US for anyone under 50. If it's not big with hipsters on KZbin here, nobody will buy it. I guarantee the Giulia could easily be dialed up to 1100hp and drifted by Ken Block.
