Looks sweet.

"Alfa Romeo will split a 500-car production run between the road-going Giulia GTA and a track-focused GTAm version, but the company currently has no plans to sell either car in the U.S. 'While most of the GTA volume will be allocated to European markets, we are evaluating opportunities to introduce the vehicle in other key markets around the world including the U.S.,' an Alfa Romeo spokesman told Car and Driver.

The "A" in GTA stands for alleggerita, which is Italian for "lightened." True to the name, the GTA is said to be 220 pounds lighter with the driveshaft, hood, roof, front fascia, and fenders all made from carbon-fiber. Running same twin-turbo 2.9-liter V-6 as the Giulia Quadrifoglio, the GTA makes 540 hp. That's up from 510 hp on the Europe-market Quadrifogilo (U.S. cars are rated at 505 hp). Alfa says the GTA improves on the QF's handling thanks to new springs, dampers, and bushings, along with front and rear tracks that are two inches wider. The GTA also features a front splitter, rear spoiler, and side skirts developed to benefit aerodynamics with the help of Sauber Engineering. The car rolls on twenty-inch center-lock wheels and announces its presence through a titanium Akrapovič exhaust (take a listen in the tweet embedded below) that exits through the center of a carbon-fiber diffuser."
