Autodelta is
pleased to introduce the 156 Granturismo aerodynamic bodystyling kit
designed for the facelift Alfa 156 model (2003-2006), an enhancement which has
been inspired by the multiple touring car championship-winning Alfa 156 S2000
racers.
This brand-new bodykit has been designed by Autodelta’s design team to improve
the Alfa 156’s already very highly-regarded appearance. It carefully adds ‘in
your face’ aggression to one of the most stunning sports-saloons to be
introduced in the last decade, enhancing Giorgetto Giugiaro’s gorgeous,
award-winning lines but most importantly without loosing any of their timeless
appeal.
The 156 Granturismo kit also draws inspiration from our popular ‘GTA
Racing’ bodystyling kit (for the Alfa 156 GTA model), which we first introduced
with the launch of the Autodelta 156 GTA AM in mid-2004. This, in turn, was
directly evolved from the styling of the aerodynamic aids used on the FIA
European and World Touring Car Championship-winning Alfa 156 racers.
The ‘SuperTouring 2000’ Alfa 156 has become one of Alfa Romeo’s most successful
touring car racers in the Milanese brand’s long and illustrious history, and has
rightly taken its place amongst a pantheon of greats which includes the 1750
GTAm of the 1970s and the DTM-winning 155 V6 Ti from the 1990s. In the hands of
Fabrizio Giovanardi (2002) and Gabriele Tarquini (2004), the Alfa 156 beat the
mighty factory BMW runners to claim the FIA European Touring Car Championship
crown, and this year it is still in the thick of the action during the second
edition of the FIA World Touring Car Championship as part of a three-car team.
The 156 Granturismo bodykit can also be fitted to the pre-facelift Alfa
156 (up to 2003), provided the front grille, bonnet and headlights are changed
for the later Giugiaro-styled version. The kit will be available for worldwide
delivery from 21st August, or it can be fitted at our London headquarters or by
any of our authorised dealers.
