Alfa Romeo brought back the GTV nameplate in 1995 when it used it for a small coupe and a roadster version, which it built until 2005.
In 2003 the Italian automaker introduced the last refresh, the second, for the GTV. It tried to keep the car fresh on the market, and somehow it knew that it would be hard to replace it with a worthy successor. Eventually, that really happened, and the following model, the GT, didn't live up to GTV's name. At least not in terms of styling, that's for sure.
With a design signed by Enrico Fumia from Pininfarina, the car brought back the tall Alfa triangular grille pointed down at the front. Also, that meant that the formerly known "Trilobo" design language was taken out from the storage and shown again to the new generation that didn't know it. Moreover, the carmaker introduced new lamps for the headlights, with improved lenses for better night-time driving experiences. The car's profile still resembled the same ascending beltline emphasized by a sculptured line that started from the front wheel fenders and went on to the rear deck.
The interior welcomed its occupants with a completely new dashboard that sported round vents instead of rectangular ones. Moreover, the carmaker added aluminum trims and finally got rid of the tape player, replacing it with a stereo-CD unit. Fortunately, Alfa Romeo kept the same high-bolstered bucket seats at the front that were praised for their side support. Like its predecessor, the car featured a completely useless rear bench, where hardly someone could fit due to lack of legroom and headroom.
Under the hood, the car received new engines. It had to drop the former 3.0-liter V6 produced by Alfa Romeo and use a new 3.2-liter unit that produced 40 more ponies than its predecessor.
