The Alfa Romeo GTV6 arrived in 1980 as the performance variant of the Alfetta GT and quickly established itself as a true enthusiast's machine. Its defining feature was the glorious 2.5-liter "Busso" V6, an engine revered for its sonorous exhaust note and free-revving character. This transaxle-mounted powerplant, combined with a near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution, endowed the GTV6 with exceptional handling and a unique driving feel that set it apart from its contemporaries. The model gained significant motorsport pedigree, notably winning the European Touring Car Championship four years in a row from 1982 to 1985, cementing its status as a formidable competitor on track and a beloved icon on the road. Among the GTV6's various special editions, the Maratona stands out as one of the most coveted. Produced in 1984, the Maratona was a limited run of just 150 factory-built examples, distinguishable by its unique aerodynamic body kit. This particular Maratona is finished in its factory-correct Grigio Chiaro Metallico (AR 762) silver, showcasing the model-exclusive styling with elegance. Power comes from the legendary 2.5-liter SOHC 12-valve "Busso" V6 with Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection, paired with a rear-mounted 5-speed manual transaxle. With just under 50,000 original miles, this example has been remarkably preserved. Further enhancing its exclusivity, it is one of only 75 units factory-optioned with the ultra-desirable full leather Recaro interior, complemented by a wood-rimmed steering wheel and matching wooden shift knob. This is a rare opportunity to acquire an elite piece of 80s Italian motorsport history, presented in exceptional condition.
