I am enjoying my Fiat coupe 20vt and now looking at the GTV V6, a gloriously styled and enigmatic
slice of Italian automotive history. Spend £6- £8k or push out the boat for a ‘Cup’ at £14k? It seems quite a mark up for a body kit and badge though? Or is it much more than a marketing tool?

I've looked at a few, usually at shows, over the years. The body kit does look good, to me anyway, even though the front wing vents are non-functional. The seats are half leather, full leather on the standard GTV, and you get an individually numbered plaque.

I was, coincidentally, looking at a rather nice V6 yesterday at Alfa Aid and, in conversation, I was given to understand the 'Cup' was produced to homologate the GTV for a race series.

Whether the cosmetics are worth the significant premium over the regular V6 GTV is up to the individual,
The cosmetics do offer a significant additional style on the ‘cup’ imo. Not sure about the additional thousands of pounds though required for the privilege. Brilliant car whichever one to go for, and then open the bonnet cloud9

That profile is so strikingly in form to the Fiat Coupe 20vt, I am certain I must be the last person on the motoring planet to mention that biggrin
