The Alfa Romeo 155, produced from 1992 to 1997, was a compact executive car that represented a significant step forward for Alfa Romeo in terms of both design and engineering. Replacing the ageing 75, the 155 featured a sleek, modern design penned by the legendary Pininfarina, with sharp lines, a raked windshield, and a distinctive front grille that incorporated the iconic Alfa Romeo "shield" emblem. The 155 was built on a new platform that offered enhanced stiffness and handling characteristics, making it a formidable contender in the fiercely competitive European market. Under the hood, the 155 boasted a range of powerful and efficient engines, including a 1.6-liter petrol engine, a 1.8-liter turbocharged petrol engine, and a 1.9-liter diesel engine. The 155 also featured a groundbreaking 2.0-liter twin-spark engine, which provided exceptional performance and efficiency for the time.
Beyond its impressive performance, the 155 was also praised for its luxurious interior, featuring high-quality materials, comfortable seating, and a well-designed instrument panel. The car offered a range of features, including power steering, air conditioning, and a sophisticated audio system, making it a desirable choice for drivers seeking both performance and comfort. However, the 155's legacy extends far beyond its road-going variants. It is perhaps best remembered for its dominating presence in the World Touring Car Championship (WTCC), where it achieved incredible success in the hands of drivers like Nicola Larini and Alessandro Nannini. The 155, with its powerful engine and exceptional handling, secured two consecutive championship titles in 1993 and 1994, solidifying its status as an icon of motorsport. The 155's influence on subsequent Alfa Romeo models, particularly its focus on performance and driving experience, can be seen even today, making it a significant chapter in the brand's rich history.
