2009 Alfa Romeo 159 1750 TBi

After unveiling the new 159 at the Geneva Motor Show, Alfa Romeo added today two new engines to the line-up: a 200 HP, 1750 cc turbocharged petrol engine and a 170 HP 2.0 JTDM diesel. The new engines will be available starting April.

The new 1750 cc turbo petrol engine is mated to a six speed manual gearbox and boasts advanced ignition control solutions including direct fuel injection, two continuously variable valve timing units, a turbocharger and a revolutionary scavenging control system.

Starting from April 2009, the new Alfa Romeo 159 1750 TBi will be available with a brand new 1750 cc turbocharged petrol engine and develops 200 HP between 4,750 and 5,500 rpm with 320 Nm of torque at only 1,400 rpm. This engine takes the Alfa Romeo 159 1750 TBi to an impressive top speed of 235 kph and accelerates it from 0 to 100 kph in just 7.7 seconds. The 200 HP Alfa Romeo 159 1750 TBi is therefore a true representative of Alfa’s exclusive motoring lifestyle. Far from being a mere ‘means of transport’, the new Alfa Romeo 159 1750 TBi is a real driver’s car.
