We can enjoy a four-door limousine, awakening the senses and promising a joyful driving experience. The external dimensions alone suggest sporting ambitions. Length Width Height 4,43/1,74/1,41 m means, that Alfie 156 captured and added right there, where you need to – shortened, widened and flattened compared to the previous model.

A temperament? Typically Italian. Three inline four-cylinder Twin Spark engines, one V-shaped six-cylinder. The basic version is driven by a 16-valve capacity unit
1,6 And power 120 MILES, allowing you to reach maximum speed 195 km/h. Stronger "156" have a choice: 144-horse-drawn engine 1.8 or 155 horsepower 2.0 (oba 16V). In the top version, a 2.5-liter V6 with four valves per cylinder is installed. His strength is 190 MILES, and Alpha's top speed 156 powered by this engine grows to 230 km/h. This version of the "one hundred and fifty six" has a six-speed gearbox.

"156" can also save. For those who are oriented towards economical driving, a diesel generation has been prepared - turbo-charged engines with direct fuel injection (Common Rail) with a high work culture and relatively low emission of harmful exhaust gases.

Both diesels installed in "156" are equipped with turbochargers and intercoolers. 1,9-the liter four-cylinder unit has power 105 MILES, 2,4-the five-liter, variable geometry turbocharger achieves 135 MILES.

Finally, let's take a closer look at the Alfa's chassis 156. The suspension with a four-link front axle and a multi-link rear axle promise high comfort and driving safety. The effectiveness of the brakes is increased by the ABS system with electronic distribution of the braking force.

As befits an elegant limousine of this class, the "stop ten-ten" is richly equipped. In addition to ABS, two airbags will also be standard, electric windows i 15 inch rims. Alfa 156 is offered in 12 colors. Two of them – "Nuvola blue" and "nuvola green."” – they give the effect of a variable color, thanks to the use of new varnishes with a pearl gloss.

All these elements do, that Alfa may be a formidable competitor in the mid-range limousine market, intended for drivers with sports inclinations, who value individuality and a refined Italian style. It is shame that, that this amazing machine had not been given the proper quality, matching name. And yet Italians speak such a beautiful language!
