Alfa has applied its classic Turismo Internazionale option to its svelte 159 saloon and Sportwagon, with both cars set to feature the famous TI initials. The cars will include a unique body kit, lowered sports suspension, 19-inch alloy wheels, red Brembo brake calipers, and chrome effect on the door mirrors and exhaust. Only three colors will be available, Alfa Red, Stromboli Grey and Carbonio black, to ensure the model’s distinctiveness and exclusivity.
Electrically adjustable and heated leather front sports seats top the list of interior changes, along with new sports dials, aluminum sports pedals, kick plates and trim inserts. A leather-clad sports steering wheel and gear knob round out the interior enhancements.
Under the hood, there are three engine options on offer. There are two petrol units, a 2.2L JTS and 3.2L JTS V6, plus a diesel 2.4L JTDM, all available with either a manual or QTRONIC gearbox.
Another limited edition Alfa? If they spent as much time maknig their cars as these limited edition models they might be able to properly compete against BMW.
Justin you have no idea what you\’re talking about. BMW is the obvious choice. If you really care about style or passion in your car you\’ll buy an Alfa. Every tom, dick, and harry owns a 3-series now.
Hey, as long as you don’t mind the ocassional electrical fire in your Alfa… Or have they gotten better at wiring their cars? That’s a handsome car anyway. Hope they bring it to the USA and price is sensibly (don’t expect either anyway).
Brera will be avalable in USA in 2008…
