A Hot Contender,The Martini-sponsored Alfa Romeo works team had an excellent 1996 season in the International Touring Car Championship (ITC), their 155 V6 TI taking on the might of Mercedes-Benz and Opel and coming away with an impressive 9 victories. Based upon the iconic Italian company&39;s four-door 155 sedan, it was souped up with front spoiler, rear wing, diffuser and aerodynamic tweaks to the body shell. Its 450hp-plus 2.5l V6 employed the same pneumatic valve system run by Formula One cars, and had its power transmitted to all four wheels via a semi-automatic 6-speed transmission and electronically controlled front, rear and center differentials. Little wonder, then, that it had such a successful season!

In 1996, this popular series was re-established as the International Touring Car Championships (ITC), with races held not only in Europe, but also in Brazil and Japan. The famous Italian car manufacturer Alfa Romeo has been one of the principal figures in the series since its first entry back in 1993. For the 1996 season, their 155 V6 TI was further souped up and a total of eight cars were entered from three different racing teams. Its high revving V6 cylinder engine was said to yield an awesome 450 plus horsepower output. This tremendous power was transmitted to all four wheels via a semi-automatic 6-speed transmission and electronically controlled front, rear and center differentials. The four wheel double wishbone suspension was equipped with horizontally mounted shock absorbers activated by pushrods.
