The Alfa Romeo 164, produced from 1987 to 1997, was a flagship model that aimed to solidify Alfa Romeo's position in the premium executive car market. It was a significant step forward for the Italian automaker, departing from the traditional rear-wheel-drive layout of its predecessors in favor of a more contemporary front-wheel-drive platform. The 164 was a technological marvel, boasting features like a four-wheel independent suspension and a sophisticated multi-link rear axle. It also incorporated pioneering electronic systems like ABS and traction control, making it one of the most advanced cars of its time. The 1997 model year marked the end of production for the 164, which by then had received numerous updates and refinements. This included the introduction of a powerful 3.0-liter V6 engine, offering a blend of performance and efficiency. The 164 retained its elegant and sophisticated design, with a spacious and well-appointed interior. Despite its advanced technology and refined driving dynamics, the 164 never quite achieved the widespread commercial success of its German rivals. Yet, it remains a significant model in Alfa Romeo's history, representing the company's ambition to compete at the highest level of the automotive world. The 1997 Alfa Romeo 164, with its unique blend of Italian style and engineering prowess, continues to attract enthusiasts and collectors alike, serving as a reminder of a time when Alfa Romeo pushed the boundaries of automotive innovation.
