The Alfa Romeo 156, manufactured by Alfa Romeo, was introduced in 1997 as replacement for the 155. Its distinctive style with its high curved flanks made it, to some, the best looking car in it’s class.
Alfa 156 GTA marks the return of the logo that is a legendary part of motoring history: the exterior styling is aggressive and elegant, while the interiors are lavishly appointed with a distinctly sporty feel. The powerful new 3.2 V6 24v engine offers exceptional performance and tremendous handling even in day-to-day driving. A car that can put real pleasure back into driving.
Alfa Romeo 156 GTA
In February 2002 the 156 GTA and SportsWagon GTA were launched. A 3.2l V6 with six speed gearbox, this car was aimed at the Audi S4 performance market. The GTA was subsequently stopped production in October 2005, citing poor sales and the upcoming replacement to the 156, the Alfa Romeo 159
The brand-new 3.2 V6 24v petrol engine is an evolution of the 3.0 V6 engine already available on the sporty GTV and Spider, with power output increased from 220 to 250 BHP at 6200 rpm. Both the 6-speed manual gearbox and the F1-derived Selespeed transmission considerably enhance the engine’s sporting qualities. The car can go from 0 to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds, with a top speed of 155 mph and average fuel consumption in the combined cycle of 12.1 liters per 100 km, figures that sum up the potential of the new GTA, which boasts a torque curve reaching 221 lbs-ft at 4800 rpm, giving thrilling performance for both sporty driving and everyday use.
The Alfa Romeo 159 is a compact executive car produced by the Italian manufacturer Alfa Romeo since 2005. The 159 was introduced in production form at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show as a replacement for the successful Alfa Romeo 156.
Alfa 159 comes with a choice of three JTS directinjection petrol engines and 3 new-generation JTDM Common Rail turbodiesels, a perfect reflection of Alfa Romeo’s “cuore sportivo”

The utmost sportiness is guaranteed by the 3.2 6-cylinder V petrol engine, along with Q4 fourwheel drive, while the 2.4 JTDM diesel combines the power of its 200 bhp with total reliability. The 1.9 and 2.2 JTS petrol units offer excellent performance, while the 1.9 JTDM diesels guarantee top-level performance with low running costs. The new 1.8 petrol engine is available.
