The Cars from Italy web site has some information. Select all models then Alfetta/GTV/GTV6. Hope this helps.

edit - this is from the Veloce Today website... Alfetta GTV2000 Turbodelta
In May of 1979, the Turbodelta was introduced as a step toward injecting new life into the four cylinder Alfetta GTV. Alfa appointed their racing arm, AutoDelta, to create a turbo charged version of the 2000cc four cylinder. The single turbo boosted the horsepower from 122 to 150, giving the car a top speed of 130 mph. Enough were built to homologate them for Group 4 international rallying. These models had a matt black hood, with multicolor stripes on the body sides. Unfortunately it was never imported to the U.S.

There are only 3 or 4 Turbodelta Alfetta GTV Group 4 rally cars build by Autodelta , one of them burnt out in the '79 Sanremo rally so there are only 2 or 3 left .
A couple of months ago there was an article in the Auto Italia about one of these cars , discovered behind a garage in Sanremo .
Also mentioned in the article were race results , drivers and technical speciafications .

Lots of great historical photos and information on
these rally cars.

They are actually selling some reproduction body
pieces made from the group4 car—tempting to
build a rally replica—but it would be really hard
and expensive to find all the right pieces to make
anything close to the "works" cars.

Autodelta also ran Alfetta group2 cars which seem
to be about as rare as the Turbodelta Group4 car.

The car Portal Classic has for sale is the homologation
steet car and very similar to a standard Alfetta GT, with
the exception of the turbo and a few other little things.

These are some pics of a car that was up for auction on ebay
in Feb. of this year. (I know the pic quality is low, but since so
few of these cars are out there and photographed, I found them
interesting.) The car was in Spain, I’m not sure if it
sold—the reserve wasn’t met.

It’s a 1975 group2 car prepped by Autodelta. The owner listed
in his description that it finished 3rd overall in the 1975 Tour de Corse.
He also stated figures that there were between
8 and 12 of these cars made.

Some of the learnings they got from this car were probably
transferred into the making of the later Turbodelta cars.

Check out the AP 4 piston calipers with the
custom mounts on the transaxle.
Pretty cool set up—and much quicker to
change/adjust than the factory design.

I’d love to know how Autodelta prepped the transaxle to
handle the rallies. I would think that they converted
it to a dogbox with a straight-cut gearset.
Does anyone have knowledge of this?
