Alfa Romeo 159

Alfa Romeo 159, the compact executive car from the Italian Manufacturer has never looked sportier than in its latest embodiment, courtesy Novitec Tuners. For it sure has some snarl with the Mitsubishi Lancer is another anecdote, let us just acclaim the work Novitec has put in.

The choice was a little surprising for maximum of them with their scissors go for the petrol variants, Novitec went for the 200 hp, 2.4 liter 20 valve turbo diesel variant. It pepped up the horses by another 29 units using its Novitec’s Power rail III system and a Novitec stainless steel dual tailpipe exhaust setup. As far as the exterior trimming is concerned, a front skirting, side skirts and a rear spoiler all from Novitec have been added. The suspension kit is a Novitec stainless steel sports suspension system, which is both height and hardness adaptable.

The Tuned Alfa Romeo 159 runs on the tarmac with its Novitec N9 multi-piece 20 inch wheels enveloped with Pirelli 255/30/R20 tyres.
We all know don’t we how good the Alfa Romeo inline engines sound and with all that modification will this one from Novitec live up to that reputation , only time will


The Alfa Romeo 159 started development in June 2001 and was designed to compete in the D segment of the car market this puts it directly against the Audi A4, BMW 3 series, Mercedes C class and the Lexus 200. The Alfa 159 is named after the famous post war formula 1 car the Alfetta 159 and was styled by Giugiaro's Ital Design, the design departs from the Alfa 156 and looses the hidden door handles but retains a distinct family resemblance, when the two cars are parked together they appear as brother and sister the Alfa 159 being slightly larger in everything but roof height.

Brakes are also a great improvement on the Alfa 156s they are developed in conjunction with Brembo and even the smallest engines have 305mm front and 278mm rear disks which is the same size as the Alfa 156 GTA while the larger engined cars have 330mm front and 293 mm rear disks. The brakes are also monitored by an anti lock braking system which is also connected to the vehicle dynamic control.

The new premium platform is quite a departure from the old 156 chassis and it is very well built, it easily compares to anything BMW or Mercedes are producing and it will easily be able to take all the power that is thrown at it, I am not kidding this is not anything like the last generation of Alfa Romeos it is built to last. However Alfa’s new found build quality is reflected in the kerb weight and this is an issue they plan to address over the next couple of years, with the use of advanced materials they plan to cut the weight by 150 Kg which will help with the performance figures as well

Alfa Romeo 8C Wallpapers Reviews

Alfa Romeo stylings, with a new interpretaion of the “whiskers” and shield. Without forgetting, that this innovative range anticipates the elements and proportions of the future Alfa Romeo cars, always with complete respect for the historical legacy of the brand. It’s worth underlining that to reach these top levels of areo-dynamic efficiency, solutions which don’t limit themselves to the design of the form have been adopted on the Alfa 8C Spider.
All the surfaces and profiles of the uprights and windows, together with the form and positioning of the rear-view mirrors, have been optimized using computer models and tests in wind tunnels and real-life environments.
As a result, air flows round the vehicle following it’s natural path, unhampered by corners and irregularities. The end result is a negative LC (lift coefficient) which like competition vehicles, contributes to stability at high speeds
the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider adopts the new “8 cylinder mated to a 5-speed gearbox with 90°” and a capacity of 4691 cm3 which has been designed with one specific aim: guarantee extraordinary performances without relinquishing the fluidity of the gearshift or the ease of use in any driving context. Like so, a powerful and progressive propulsion is born with a top power of 450 CV at 7.000 rpm and a maximum torque of 7.500 rpm.
This engine has been mated to a self-shifting 6-speed gearshift (with computerized selection of the gears via levers behind the steering-wheel), and a self-blocking differential unit.
As in the legendary Formula 1 vehicles from the 50′s, the Alfa 8C Spider sports the Transaxle design which guarantees the best equilibrium in the partioning of weight.
The propulsion is placed in the rear whilst the gearshift is placed behind along the differential and hydraulic motor unit. The Transaxle design foresees a tight connection between motor and gearshift, which is fitted with a self-blocking differential. The two groups are linked by a tubular element, at the interior of which rotates the transmission driving shaft: in this manner the load is distributed in an optimal manner between the front and rear suspension.
n the interior, the Alfa 8C Spider guarantees a sophisticated environment, thanks to the vast use of composite materials in the dashboard and internal panels, as well as the use of anatomical seats, produced in carbon fibres, that can be adjusted according to the physical characteristics of the driver (up to now, a feature only available to racing cars). Furthermore, for maximum possible personalization of the interior, the client can chose between different environments and aesthetic solutions.
All distinguishable by the particular attention to detail and artisan workmanship: from the contrasting stitches, colour tone and exclusive matchings. The bucket seats are upholstered in Frau flower leather (an exclusive and innovative treatment of the weave, in which the leather is bound to a natural fibre, creating a look of great visual impact). Furthermore, in the front we can find the characteristic Alfa Romeo stylings, with a new interpretaion of the “whiskers” and shield. Without forgetting, that this innovative range anticipates the elements and proportions of the future Alfa Romeo cars, always with complete respect for the historical legacy of the brand.
