What's the story

Alfa Romeo and an independent Italian coachbuilding company Zagota have revealed the Giulia SWB as a one-off special model. The two-door coupe is based on the capable Quadrifoglio model but is upgraded to the GTAm (Gran Turismo Alleggerita modificata) specifications. For highlights, the sports car is inspired by the design of the SZ model and features a 6-speed manual gearbox.
