All models have four cylinder, Alfa Romeo Twin Cam engine with two valves per cylinder and a 5-speed as well as disc brakes are on all four wheels. The rear suspension uses a beam axle with coil springs. Air conditioning was also a dealer-installed option. A limited slip rear differential was also standard on the later cars. The body shape was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro for Bertone.
Although not commonly thought of as a Giulia Sprint GT variant, the Alfa Romeo Montreal used a strengthened and slightly modified floor pan and suspension setup from the Giulia Sprint GT.
