Engine Options Overview:
The Alfa Romeo 155 was offered with a range of Alfa Romeo Twin Spark and Busso V6 engines.
Twin Spark Performance:
Typically offered in 1.7L, 1.8L, and 2.0L displacements, with power outputs ranging from approximately 115 hp to 155 hp.
Busso V6 Performance:
Available in 2.5L and 3.0L displacements, with power outputs ranging from approximately 160 hp to 230 hp in performance variants like the V6 TI.
Fuel Delivery:
Multi-point Fuel Injection (MPI) for most variants.
Engine Management:
Electronic Engine Control (EEC) systems, specific ECUs vary by engine and market.
Body Styles:
4-door Sedan
Length Overview:
Approximately 4400 mm (173.2 inches) for most sedan variants.
Width Overview:
Approximately 1700 mm (66.9 inches) for most variants.
Height Overview:
Approximately 1420 mm (55.9 inches) for most variants.
Curb Weight:
Varies significantly by engine and drivetrain, typically ranging from 1200 kg to 1500 kg (2645 lbs to 3307 lbs).
Crash Test Data:
Specific Euro NCAP or equivalent ratings for this period are not widely publicized, but generally considered competitive for its era.
ABS:
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) was available and standard on many models.
Traction Control:
ASR (Anti-Slip Regulation) traction control was available on some higher-spec models, especially Q4 variants.
Airbags:
Driver's side airbag standard on later models, passenger airbag optional or standard on top trims.
Seatbelts:
Pre-tensioning seatbelts, often with height adjustment.
Audio System:
Factory fitted radio/cassette or CD players, often with optional upgrades. Speaker configurations varied by trim.
Climate Control Tech:
Manual climate control with A/C, or optional automatic climate control on higher trims.
Cruise Control:
Available as an option on some models.
Early Features:
Limited by modern standards; focus on core driving and comfort features.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 7,500 to 15,000 km (4,500 to 9,000 miles) or 12 months, depending on usage and oil type. Consult manual for specific engine.
Timing Belt Replacement:
Crucial for Twin Spark engines; typically recommended every 72,000 km (45,000 miles) or 4-5 years. V6 engines use timing chains or belts with different intervals.
Engine Oil Type:
Refer to manual, but generally SAE 10W-40 or 5W-40 synthetic or semi-synthetic oil meeting API SG/SH or ACEA A2/A3 specifications.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze mixed with distilled water. Refer to manual for specific concentration and type.
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid.
Transmission Fluid Type:
Manual: GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil. Automatic: ATF DEXRON II/III or equivalent.
Twin Spark Issues:
Potential for cylinder head wear, oil consumption, and timing belt tensioner issues. Early Twin Spark engines can suffer from valve guide wear.
Electrical Gremlins:
As with many Italian cars of this era, electrical issues (corroded connectors, faulty sensors) can be present.
Rust:
Rust can be an issue, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and suspension mounting points.
Alfa Romeo Legacy:
Built upon Alfa Romeo's rich history of performance and sporting sedans, following models like the Alfa 75 and 33.
Design Influence:
Designed by Pininfarina, it represented a move towards more modern, aerodynamic styling compared to its predecessor.

The 155 had a successful motorsport career, particularly in touring car racing, notably the DTM with the iconic 155 V6 TI.
Production Location:
Primarily produced in Italy.
Motorsport Acclaim:
Significant recognition for its success in touring car championships, including DTM, BTCC, and Italian Superturismo Championship.
Design Awards:
While specific awards for the 155 itself are not prominently advertised, its Pininfarina design was well-regarded for its contemporary appeal.
