The Alfa Romeo GT (Type 937) is a coupe automobile that was produced by the Italian automaker Alfa Romeo between 2003 and 2010.
The GT was introduced in March 2003 Geneva Motor Show and it came for sale in Italian markets January 2004. It was built at the Pomigliano plant, alongside the 147 and 159. A total of 80,832 units were produced.
The GT was based on Alfa Romeo 156 platform (also used for the 147) with styling by Bertone. The bodywork is in a classic coupé style, but uses a hatchback 3-door style rather than the 2-door style of the earlier GTV and some rivals such as the BMW 3 Series Coupé. Combined with a full rear bench giving 5 seats (rather than a 2+2 layout) the GT was advertised as being a practical sports car. Most mechanicals were taken directly from the 156/147 using the same double wishbone front suspension and MacPherson rear setup. The interior is derived form the smaller hatchback 147 and shares many common parts. The GT shares the same dash layout and functions, the climate control system as well as having a similar electrical system. Some exterior parts are taken from 147 with same bonnet, wing mirrors and front wings (from 147 GTA). The engine range included both a 1.8 TS, and 2.0 JTS petrol engine, a 1.9 MultiJet turbodiesel, and a top-of-the-range 3.2 V6 petrol. Luggage capacity is 320 l and could be enlarged to 905 l.
The GT was positioned as a sports car in Alfa Romeo's range, along with the Brera (which was based on the newer mid-size Alfa 159 sedan/saloon car).
