Alfa Romeo dropped 220 pounds of weight off thanks to the adoption of lightweight materials like carbon fiber for the driveshaft, hood, roof, front bumper, front wheel arches, and rear-wheel arch inserts. Its exterior both the front and rear track become wider by 2.0 inches making the fenders wider helping with its performance The GTA’s handling, as well as aerodynamics, are superb due to what alfa calls the Sauber Aero Kit.

2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA And GTAm
Alfa Romeo intends on creating two versions of the GTA, A standard GTA and a top of the line hardcore GTAm. While the GTA is track-ready both with power and aerodynamics coming with four seats and an interior like that in the Quadrifoglio. The GTAm takes it a step further by only having two front seats, which are carbon-shelled racing units, a roll bar, Sabelt six-point harnesses, and a more aggressive front splitter and carbon-fiber rear wing. The back of the cabin which is usually where the rear seats are located now has cutouts for holding a fire extinguisher and racing helmets. Also simplifying the door panels by adding pull straps instead of door handles.
