No, sorry, apparently my answer wasn't precisely enough: It is a Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV, but a special one from Delta Autotechnik
LOCKED for 'Alfa_Japan'

[Alfa_Japan]

The 2.6i Montreal V8 version?

[fromwien]

No

[Alfa_Japan]

The two Delta brochures (two different years) I have in my collection don't state any special version of the Alfetta GT(V). An online search also resulted into nothing except for the 2.6 v8 (Montreal engine) in which Delta played a role. You can unlock the puzzle.

Sorry, UNLOCKED

Delta Autotechnik developed GTV Turbo, 2 liter engine with Garrett turbolader, 170PS (125KW), introduced IAA 1979

[hermanoto]

...in a letter to me Delta Autotechnik stated that the turbo engine will be available from mid-1980 onwards.
