Giorgietto Giugiaro: From the sketchpad to the road
Many a car born of his genial pen-strokes is to be found parked in the driveways of Hollywood mansions, blocked on the off-ramps to fashionable suburban areas, and displayed in several museums.
Perhaps the great success Giugiaro is experiencing around the world is due to precisely his capacity to have accurately combined Italian styling with the business concepts and production processes of large international companies.

 Alfa Romeo GTV6
As a result the hood received a bulge to clear the top of the intake plenum on the larger V6 block and became the most pronounced feature of this exciting sport coupe.
Since the body was largely a revision of the Giorgietto Giugiaro-designed Alfetta Sprint GT, it retained its wedge-shaped mid-70's lines until the end of production in 1989 (in Europe) and 1986 for North America.
The new 6 cylinder engine received rave reviews from the motoring press and found its true home in the GTV6 where it could stretch its legs far better than in the less-sporting Six sedan.
