Alfa 166
The 166 is Alfa Romeo’s flagship vehicle. Created at the Alfa Romeo style centre, the new Alfa 166 expresses harmony of form and content, while combining the elegance of a great saloon with the sports traits of a coupé. It inherits from its predecessor a clean, sleek shape that makes it look agile and ready to leap into action: the Alfa 166 takes Alfa's dual mission of 'sportiness and elegance' and turns it into an understated beauty that is quintessentially Italian.
Classic brand styling cues are not brazenly flaunted, but subtly hinted at. The Style Centre has yet again succeeded in finding the right stylistic balance to bring the Alfa 166 right up to date.
In its shape, the rounded surfaces and corners work out their natural tensions to achieve an ideal point of balance. More recent graphic motifs that the public now recognises and appreciates as distinguishing Alfa Romeo features are also present.
Driving satisfaction and travelling satisfaction have always been part of Alfa Romeo's strengths and are compulsory for a car with the character of an Alfa, and the class of a great saloon.
