Why it matters
The GTV6 3.0 was a South African homologation special that received Alfa Romeo's 3.0-litre V6 before the engine was launched anywhere else. Only 212 were built so the car could race locally, making it one of the most collectable South African special editions.

02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionbuilt for homologation | 2121 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Driven by track racing, Alfa Romeo South Africa obtained permission from Italy to build and use the 3.0-litre V6 ahead of its global launch in 1987, where the GTV6 elsewhere used a 2.5-litre unit. Autodelta supplied cylinder-head castings, crankshafts, pistons and sleeves, and the engine was fed by six Dell'Orto carburettors. The 212-car run satisfied homologation rules.
