 Following its success with their turbocharger kits, this led a commission by Alfa Romeo to produce a higher end version of its 2.5-liter GTV-6 coupé.Between thirty and thirty-six examples were built between 1983 and 1986, with the first prototype being sold and titled as a 1984 model, the subsequent four prototypes as 1985 models and the remainder (i.e.the "regular production") being sold as 1986 model year cars.
