The Guiletta, Maybe Everyone's Favorite Alfa Coupe

Filed in archive Alfa Romeo by Philip Powell on September 28, 2006

1958 Alfa Romeo Guiletta Some cars just look right no longer how long ago they were designed and built. Case in point: the 1958 Alfa romeolinks Guilietta shown at this year's Concorso Italiano. That's almost 50 years ago and yet the coupe is just as lovely and desireable as the day it rolled out of the factory. In fact the Guilietta was not intended to be a single model; rather it was the basis for an entire range of cars, including a basic sedan. But the coupe came first, a 2+2 whose inspired lines, created by Bertone, were sheer perfection. Perrformance was motivated by a twin-overhead-cam four-cylinder aluminum-block engine that became a classic in its own right. Initially producing 80 hp it could drive the Guilietta to a top speed of 103 mph but later versions were quicker still. As sports coupes go, this one is an enduring champion.
