ALFA 166
THE DEFINITE
LUXURY SALOON
Flagship of the
Alfa Romeo range, the Alfa 166 wants for nothing.
Within its gorgeous shape and stylish contours lie all the attributes you'd
expect
of a luxury car - and nore besides.
The Alfa 166 is every inch a prestigious executive saloon, yet at the same time
its sporting cedentials are obvious.
Its style and looks are reminiscent of a coupé, with a long, rakish bonnet and
compact rear end, whilst its wheelarches are slightly flared to enhance its look
of
power, grip and stability.
Viewing the car from the front, its entire body seems to 'emerge' from the
traditional
Alfa Romeo shield and the classic badge.
Either side of this, two chrome strips divide the air intakes and lead outwards
to the
headlights, whilst at the top, two sculpted contours trace a comet-tail shape in
the
bonnet back to the front pillars.
The passenger compartment is perfectly proportioned within the overall
dimensions of the Alfa 166, adding to its visual harmony.
Then for aerodynamic reasons, the rear end tapers away, producing an even more
pronounced impression of strength and agility.
This is finished off with tail-light clusters that are set like gems in the boot
section.
The Alfa 166: stylish, sophisticated and suberbly designed.

In the Alfa 166, Alfa Romeo
has produces a masterpiece of design and enginering that exhibits everything
expected of a modern day classic.
Top of the list comes safety and in the Alfa 166, preventive, passive and
active safety features abound.
Its roomy cabin provides plenty of space for five people and delivers
exceptional comfort - not only physical comfort but acoustic comfort, too.
And whichever of the car's three engine options is chosen, there's always
plenty of power on hand.
But only when you get behind the wheel will you truly appreciate the driving
qualities of this unique sporting saloon.
Out on the open road is where the Alfa 166 comes into its own, demonstrating
to the discerning motorist just what an Italian thoroughbred can do.
