180px|right thumb|right|Inside the factory around 1965 with a GTA Autodelta SpA was the name of Alfa Romeo's competition department. Established in 1961 as Auto-Delta by Carlo Chiti and Lodovico Chizzola, former Alfa Romeo and Ferrari engineers, the company was officially made a department of Alfa Romeo on March 5, 1963 by the then president of Alfa Romeo Giuseppe Luraghi. Originally based in Feletto Umberto, Udine, the team subsequently moved closer to Alfa Romeo's facilities in Settimo Milanese in 1964, officially becoming Autodelta SpA. The move enabled Autodelta to use the Balocco test track for new racing cars and prototypes.
The purpose of the company was bringing Alfa Romeo back to the top level of motor racing after Alfa Romeo's success in the 1950s. The first car jointly developed by Alfa Romeo and Autodelta was the Giulia TZ in June 1962. The TZ was updated to TZ2 in 1965, with both cars taking many wins in various touring car championships. Alfa Romeo and Autodelta would later introduce the GTA.
