Alfa Romeo 90 162 2.5 i.e. V6 Quadrifoglio Oro (156 Hp)
Alfa Romeo 90:
The Alfa Romeo 90 is an executive car produced by Italian car manufacturer Alfa Romeo between 1984 and 1987.
Designed by Bertone and introduced at the 1984 Turin Motor Show, the 90 was pitched between the Alfa Romeo Giulietta and the Alfa Romeo Alfa 6, both of which were soon discontinued after the 90's launch. The car used the Alfetta's chassis and used engines from the larger Alfa 6. The bodywork was similar to both, albeit modernised. One notable feature of the 90's design was a small chin spoiler which extended above a certain speed to aid engine cooling. Its angular lines with integrated bumpers gave the car a neat look consistent with the period, however the aerodynamics suffered with a drag coefficient of Cd=0. 37. The cars design was conservative, inside and out, with perhaps the only unusual element being the U-shaped parking brake lever....(Read more on Wikipedia)
