A CLASSIC DESIGN
 STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY AND EQUIPMENT

Flagship of the Alfa Romeo range, the Alfa 166 wants for nothing.
Within those stylish contours lie all the attributes you'd expect of a luxury
car - and more besides.
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.
Comfort is a high priority - not only physical comfort but acoustic comfort, too.
Whichever engine is chosen, there's always plenty of power on hand.
Its elegant exterior design contours are mirrored on the inside with soft curves
and weeping shapes.
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 motorist just what an Italian thoroughbred can do.
