Alfa Romeo At The Frankfurt International Motor Show
Published: 31st August 2003
Another focal point of the exhibition area is the New 166, Alfa's
flagship that expresses harmony of form and content while also wedding
the style of a great saloon with the sporting traits of a coupé.
The model complements these successful features on the inside and
outside with aesthetic motifs of great visual impact.
Its trim and colour matches are also very attractive and sophisticated. Two versions are on show: one equipped with a 3.2 V6 and manual gearbox and the other with a 2.4 Multijet 20v and automatic transmission, both in the Distinctive specification.
All eyes will also be on the New Alfa 156 and Sportwagon. As revised by the prestigious hand of Giorgetto Giugiaro himself, the two models represent an ideal marriage between sportiness and elegance, performance and formal balance. All the hallmarks of the brand, in other words.
In addition to these new products, the Alfa Romeo stand will host an Alfa 147 prototype with a 150 bhp 2.4 JTD engine paired with a six speed manual gearbox. This racing car took part in the Nurburgring '24 Hour' race on 1 June, where it was placed 19th overall and first in its category. It came in no fewer than six laps before the second diesel car.
As we all know, the name of Alfa Romeo is practically synonymous with motorsport.
And this vocation is exemplified by the Alfa 156 ETCC cars that are again due to race this year at the European Touring Championship. Alfa has now reigned as the undisputed champion of this popular, important competition for five years: three consecutive titles won in the Euro STC race and two Italian titles before that.
