ALFA
ROMEO - 159
Enjoyment
The Alfa 159 is driving pleasure at it’s best.
It is unique. It is thrilling. It is incredibly safe
and offers absolute control. The high double wishbone
suspension at the front and multilink setup at the rear
ensure perfect road-holding, guaranteeing precise positioning
of the wheels to keep them in constant contact with
the road. In addition, the highly efficient braking
system, fitted with ABS and electronic brake force distribution,
allows the car to come to a stop in only 36m after travelling
at 100 km/h. The Alfa 159 uses the most sophisticated
electronic stability control systems, such as VDC, while
still leaving the driver free to enjoy being in control
of the car. In track tests, the Alfa 159 recorded figures
that compare with the very best grand touring cars.
Being at the wheel of an Alfa 159 is a thrill you haven’t
yet experienced.
