The Alfa Romeo 164, a luxury sedan produced by the Italian automaker Alfa Romeo from 1987 to 1998, was a significant step forward for the brand. Designed by the legendary Giorgetto Giugiaro, the 164 boasted a sleek and modern aesthetic that set it apart from its predecessors. It featured a sophisticated, front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, and its construction employed extensive use of aluminum, contributing to a lighter and more agile chassis. The 164 was offered with a range of powerful engines, including the iconic 3.0-liter V6, renowned for its smooth and responsive performance. This engine, paired with a precise 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission, delivered a spirited driving experience that belied the car's luxurious nature.
