The Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI of 1996 is one of the most iconic cars in the history of the brand’s motorsport, developed for the Italian Touring Car Championship and the World Touring Car Cup (ITC).
The 155 was launched in 1992 as a sporty sedan, but in 1993, Alfa Romeo decided to adapt it for racing, aiming to reclaim success in international competitions and compete against powerful rivals like Mercedes-Benz and BMW.
The 155 V6 TI was equipped with a 2.5-liter V6 engine, producing about 420 horsepower. It featured front-wheel drive, which set it apart from other competition cars that used rear-wheel drive, but this choice provided advantages in terms of stability and handling. The car also had an independent suspension and improved aerodynamic design, with a large rear spoiler and flared wheel arches. The distinctive livery and prominent sponsors made the 155 V6 TI easily recognizable on the tracks.
The 155 V6 TI had great success in competitions, with drivers like Gabriele Tarquini and Nicola Larini behind the wheel. The car achieved numerous victories, including the 1996 ITC Championship, marking one of Alfa Romeo’s most significant achievements in the 1990s. Its performance in races was impressive, thanks to its powerful engine, stability, and handling.
The 155 V6 TI was also at the center of a historic rivalry with other automakers like Mercedes-Benz and BMW, who dominated the championship in those years. However, thanks to its innovative engineering and driving capabilities, the Alfa Romeo car managed to compete at the highest level.
Today, the Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI is considered a legendary car among collectors, appreciated not only for its sporting successes but also for its bold design and advanced technology. Its racing history represents one of the last great victories for the brand in touring car competitions, solidifying its status as an icon in motorsport.
