With the 75 now on the brink of retirement, the new Alfa Romeo 155 made its debut at the 1992 Geneva Motor Show. Compared to the 75, the mechanical setup changed, with the adoption of front-wheel drive. The proportions were also different, even if the designers tried to transfer some stylistic features of the 75 to the 155. The 155 was based on the Tipo 2 platform, in common with the Fiat Tipo and Lancia Dedra. The engines offered were quite varied and had the 126 HP 1800cc Twin Spark as the basic version. There were also more substantial alternatives such as the 2.5 V6 which derived from the one adopted on the Alfa 6 in 1979 and which developed 165 HP. A more sophisticated variant but initially not too popular with the public was the Turbo Q4, with the Lancia Delta Integrale engine and a power of 186 HP. In 1993, one year after its presentation, the 155 range was slightly revised and the 1748cc and 116 HP 4-cylinder Twin Spark 1748cc and 116 HP was inserted at the base of the offer, which was initially available only for the Portuguese market. The 1.9 Turbodiesel that already equipped the Fiat Tempra was also introduced. In 1994 a special series was launched, the 1.8i Silverstone, with a particularly sporty connotation. A restyling was presented at the 1995 Geneva Motor Show which included a new grille and more rounded wheel arches. From the point of view of the engines, the new 2.0i Twin Spark arrived. The variants and trims (Super and Sport) multiplied starting from the second half of the nineties. In 1996, shortly before going out production, the 155 also adopted the 1.6 and 1.8 liter Twin Spark 16v engines.
