The original 155 Q4 (Narrow body) had a detuned 16V 2.0 Turbo and 4WD from the Integrale. They were reported to be down to 190BHP but every standard that I know has been tested is always over 200BHP, Alfa officially imported 19 into the UK.


Mine is a later wide body version, never imported to the UK, and is believed to be 1 of maybe 6 here now. It has had a few mods over time, uprated turbo, cams, exhaust, map etc. and was producing just under 300BHP. It is currently being rebuilt again with a plan to have a reliable, useable 300BHP plus.

That GTV is parked in front of my office.

Ooh can’t make up my mind now. 166 3.0 or 155 Q4.

That's easier, do you want reliability or bags of fun and frustration?

Well, I’ve alread got option 2.

I was looking at 166s a while ago but bought a Merc instead.

I had a 147 from new, only car I’ve boight new, ordered based on a photo in the paper. Loved that car, most comfortable seats, great fun to drive. . But they always had 166s in the showroom when it went in for a service.

Was going to say thought they were all skinny body ones. Looks much better for the wide body Andy. Love it.

I know they were a legend but just think it looks terrible. It's a dogs dinner....Think I would prefer a standard Evo Integrale.
