The first generation released in 2000 was a huge success and the Alfa Romeo 147 was one of the best-looking cars on the market.

The GTA badge had a long history in the Alfa Romeo family, and it was always installed on performance vehicles. The 147 was no exception.

The 147 hatchback was launched as a 3-door hatchback in 2000 and the 5-door version followed after. The car was designed to revamp the Alfa Romeo presence in the compact-segment.
