  Tuning Linx - Alfa Romeo 156 GTA
Alfa Romeo 156 GTA marks the return of the logo that is a legendary part of motoring history: the exterior styling is aggressive and elegant, while the interiors are lavishly appointed with a distinctly sporty feel.
The reappearance of the legend represented by the GTA logo comes with a look that cannot hide the potential of engineering that has undergone an almost complete reworking with respect to the new Alfa 156.
The Alfa 156 GTA makes a strong visual impact: new lighting clusters, a pronounced central air intake, redesigned mirrors, front spoiler with enlarged air intakes, new bumpers in the same color as the bodywork and larger fenders accommodating the generous 17" wheels.

The GTA rear suspension also increases the smoothness and alacrity of steering response and means the car is more able to align itself automatically, even under extreme conditions.

For Alfa Romeo, the Brera GTA will represent a technical masterpiece, not only using lightweight materials such as Carbon-fibre and Aluminium, but also with its innovative aerodynamic front spoiler treatment and the possible application of four-wheel steering.
The Brera GTA’s simplistic weight saving theme is continued in the lack of chrome detailing, with the front grille being a straight-forward pressed mesh affair similar to that presented on the 8C Competizione concept car in 2003.

The designers who created the Alfa 147 GTA were given a very specific brief: to create a car for everyday use that could, under the right circumstances, ensure customers the performance, behaviour and driving sensations of a car built for racing.
All the design changes emphasise the functional appearance of the car and are mostly the result of technical alterations to the frame and mechanical units.

If you are familiar with the regular Alfa 147 and the 156GTA, you can easily see that the new 147 GTA is nearly a hatchback version of 156 GTA with shorter wheelbase.
To create the fastest 147, Alfa Romeo simply transplanted the 250-horsepower 3.2-litre V6, 6-speed gearbox, suspensions (with wider track, lowered, revised geometry and spring / dampers), quick-ratio steering rack, Brembo brakes and 17-inch fat rubber from the 156 GTA to the 147.
To be fair, I would say Alfa Romeo 147 GTA beats both Ford Focus RS and Volkswagen Golf R32 as the best performance hot hatch.

 Alfa Romeo 156 GTA | Roadtests | The Australian
The rest of us, meanwhile, might wonder at what point Alfa abandoned its commitment to reducing weight with the GTA – after all, "alleggerita" is Italian for "lightened" – and whether or not this particular road-racer, based on the 156 sedan, is worth all the nostalgia and commotion.
On the 156 GTA, the combination allows the driver to forge a bond with the car – and to forgive irritations such as poor rear accommodation, negligible storage facilities and so on.
On the inside, the dark cabin, drilled pedals and mock metallic trim are evidence that the GTA will break little new ground over other sport sedans.
