A long-awaited replacement for the Alfa Romeo GTV coupé could arrive as soon as 2026, after the Italian brand's chief designer confirmed that design work is continuing behind the scenes.
It is not yet officially part of the product plan, but if Alfa Romeo's corporate fortunes continue to improve as they have over the past 18 months, the GTV could be added to its list of new-model releases in 2026 or 2027 (by which time the marque's line-up will be all-electric), Alejandro Mesonero-Romanos hinted to Autocar.
The GTV isn't to be confused with the low-volume sports car that Alfa Romeo is set to unveil later this year (see box, right). That takes inspiration from the 1967 33 Stradale, which is commonly thought of as the most beautiful Alfa Romeo ever designed.
