Alfa Romeo 159 1750

The new Alfa Romeo 159 1750 is designed to express a sporting yet seductive personality and boasts road holding and performance that set new standards for this class of car.

Two new engines in particular (a 200 HP, 1750 cc turbocharged petrol engine and a 170 HP 2.0 JTDM diesel) place the Alfa Romeo 159 firmly in market segment D, in the power range that accounts for over half of Alfa Romeo sales.

The new 1750 cc turbo petrol engine (manufactured by FPT – Fiat Powertrain Technologies) comes combined with a six speed manual gearbox and boasts advanced ignition control solutions including direct fuel injection, two continuously variable valve timing units, a turbocharger and a revolutionary scavenging control system.
