5 Things You Didn't Know About The Alfa 156
Launched in 1997 to worldwide acclaim, the #AlfaRomeo 156 needs no introduction. Its combination of stunning looks, brilliant handling, and lusty engines, plus a very successful racing career, made the 156 one of Alfa's greatest commercial successes. Let's revisit one of Alfa Romeo's best moments by looking at five things you probably didn't know about the #Alfa156 #Top5
One - Lightweight materials
The Alfa 156 was, at launch, one of the production cars that utilized the highest number of magnesium components.
Two - Call me Juliet
During the Alfa 156's development, the designers working on the project referred to it using the iconic "Giulietta" nameplate, which appeared on sketches and even full-size mock-ups.
Three - From Thailand with love
To increase its market penetration in south-east Asia, Alfa Romeo took advantage of Fiat's ties with General Motors to assemble the 156 in the GM plant of Rayong in Thailand.
Four - A blast from the past
In a nod to the marque's 1960s models, the gear lever of the 156 was placed further forward and in a more upright position than usual.
Five - The stillborn GTAm
Presented at the Bologna Motor Show in December 2002, the GTAm aimed at transferring some of the racing car's technology into a road car.
Powered by a 3.5 liters Busso V6 producing a claimed 300 HP at 6800 Rpm, the 156 GTAm had composite bonnet and fenders, 19" wheels, adjustable shocks, and larger Brembo brakes.
