Designed by Pininfarina, the Alfa Romeo GTV is a low-slung, wedge-shaped, devilishly handsome two-plus-very-tight-two with dual round headlights and a delightful heart-shaped grille that looks a million dollars but cost considerably less
It fed all its power rather brazenly to the front wheels but didn’t suffer much as a result , and it had the flair and sheer dynamic competence of something far more expensive.
