Alfa Romeo launched the Alfasud Sprint in 1976 at the Turin Motorshow, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro like the Alfasud, whose mechanicals it was based on, it had a lower, more angular design, featuring a hatchback (although no folding rear seats). The Alfasud Sprint was assembled together with the Alfasud in the Pomigliano d'Arco plant, in the South of Italy, hence the Sud name.In May 1978 the Alfasud Sprint underwent an update and the engine choice enlarged to 78 bhp 1.3 (1,350 cc) and a 84 bhp 1.5 (1,490 cc) with the 1286cc unit dropped., one year later Veloce models were offered with output increased to 85 and 94 bhp.

 

In February 1983 Alfa Romeo updated all of its sports cars; the Sprint received a major facelift, now known simply as the Sprint the Alfasudand Veloce titles being dropped from the model name. The Sprint also received a platform upgrade, which was now the same as that of the Alfa Romeo 33; this entailed modified front suspension, brakes mounted in the wheels instead of inboard like on the Alfasud, and drum brakes at the rear end. Three models made up the Sprint range: 1.3 and 1.5, with engines and performance unchanged from the Alfasud Sprint Veloce, now titled Alfa Romeo Sprint 1.5 Quadrifoglio Verde or Cloverleaf in the UK market. Visual changes included a new grille, headlamps, wing mirrors, window surrounds and C-pillar ornaments. Bumpers went from chrome to plastic, and large plastic protective strips were added to the body sides; both sported coloured piping, which was grey for 1.3 cars, red for the 1.5 and green for the 1.5 Quadrifoglio (Cloverleaf)
