New Alfa 147 GTA now in Malta

The Alfa 147 GTA is now available on order from UCIM Co. Ltd, the company's managing director Francesca Mamo, said.

"Distinguishing features such as attractive styling, great temperament, outstanding automotive engineering complemented by an ultra-comprehensive electronic and telematic package, are what underpins the success of the Alfa 147 GTA," Ms Mamo added.

She said that those who loved driving would find that the Alfa was a compact car capable of outstanding performance and a car that always rewarded its driver.

"Imagine an Alfa 147 that maintains these attributes but also offers better performance, better braking capacity and the dynamic performance of a racing car. Imagine the GTA version.

"This aptly-chosen name identifies a range of vehicles that constitute the absolute quintessence of brand sporting values. Models with a spirit that harks back to a great tradition of races and victories, coupled with a highly sophisticated, up-to-date engine and mechanical specification.

"Today, a few short months after the launch of the 156 GTA and Sportwagon GTA, we welcome the Alfa 147 to the same family: the new car extends the product range of this type of car into a segment typified by a higher proportion of women and young people," Ms Mamo said.
