1996 Alfa Romeo 155 V6 ex-Larini: Warm Up, OnBoard and High Revving 2.5 V6 Sound!

- This video is about an ex-Nicola Larini Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI in Martini Alfa Corse colours and featuring the latest 1996 specs for the ITC (International Touring Car) Championship, which is how DTM was called for its last season with the very expensive 2.5-liter D1 / Class 1 touring cars.
The 155 DTM is so famous for its Alfa Romeo engine, called 'Busso', and which was used from 1993 until the first races of the 1996 season. It was a 60° deeply revised V6 (but still derived from the one mounted on the street-legal Alfas) which was able to produce up to 470hp at around 11,600 rpm in its final evolution. But for the second part of the 1996 season, in order to try to regain competitiveness and win the constructors championship, a new more powerful engine was introduced on the 155 'ITC' cars. It was a 90 degrees angle V6 not derived from the 'Busso' but from a V6 PRV (a jointly-developed engine by Peugeot, Renault and Volvo) that was used on the Lancia Thema V6.
The ITC's rules stated simply that cars must be powered by an engine that shared it's V-angle and bore spacing with a production engine (since the 90° aluminium block PRV mounted on the Thema had a displacement of 2.8-liter, the mandatory 2,500 cc was reached modifying the bore and stroke). It was possible to homologate it since in the 80's Alfa Romeo was joined to Lancia to form the Alfa-Lancia Industriale, making Alfa a manufacturer of Lancia cars for just a few years. FIAT opposed to the development and use of this engine for marketing reasons, so much that the building phases proceeded in secret form. Alfa had to develop two engines both to confuse the press and for homologations purposes such as V angle, distance between cylinders and other dimensions: one was based on the 90 degrees V8 from an Alfa Montreal and one concerning a V6 which had some similarities with the PRV unit of the old Thema. The new engine, called 690RC, was lighter and more powerful with a max output of around 490hp at 11,800 rpm and reach a max rev limit of 12,000 rpm.
With the 690RC, Alfa started to win and obtain good results again but that were not enough to finish the championship on the highest step of the podium. If that engine was introduced at the beginning of the season, probably Alfa Romeo could have easily won the 1996 title.

The combination of style, sound and performance have got to make these DTM Alfa's one of the best cars man has ever created... in my opinion.
U know !!
I worked in a Fiat Garage earlier . In 95`they came to the nürburgring and i bought a martini team flag . Weve been sitting in Mühlenbachschleife . I got goose bumps when they came down the hill after the start all together . This sound was amazing ...i remember since it was yesterday
A piece of art made in Italy.
Amen 👏
That intake sound is just unreal
Yes!
Its Italian car:)

My grandpa’s Nissan Hardbody intake sounds almost as good as this one, but how?
If this kind of DTM car was still around, I’d be attending every race ❤️
Absolutely - it's a pity about the truly astronomical costs! then again without the death of the ITC we wouldn't have had the craziness of 90's GT1.
a DTM......ITALIAN CAR ! dont forget
Why do you want to see cars like this in DTM? DTM should be evolving and progresing in technology and racing car development. Just go to events like this one in the video and you will see cars like this all the time and you never know what a legendary driver you will meet. :)
@@sayan1667 I’m more of an old school person. Even tho I’m only 24. Don’t get me wrong I love DTM the way it was, but I love the older version of DTM where each car had different engine notes and each car drove differently than the next
@@JaredR1996 I am 24 too. I understand you on 150% very well what you are telling me, because i enjoy seeing and hearing these type of cars in real life events. Thats why i prefer to you something from my experiences. Which is:
If you are from Europe, try to find a way to visit Hillclimb racing events in Austria, Italy, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia and Switzerland. Pick a country and go there, when you can. :) You will see cars from every type of racing categories, from almost every era in motorsport history, you will see some crazy drivers that will blow your mind away with their amazing driving skills. And its a for a whole weekend in the Mountains in a small village full with very passionate for motorsport people. :)
Got to love the sound of a V6 like this one!
YEESSS!!!!
Legend!!
155 V6 Sound never gets old. he's one for the old ones. who remembers TOCA race driver for the pc ? :)
Yeah I had TOCA RD on the xbox, supercars and clio's online racing were my favourite 👌🏼
These were the days, my friend...
Still remember them from the old DTM and ITC. Awesome sounding Cars! You could easily hear which Manufacturer was coming at you, just by the different noises.
Those fights between the Alfas and Mercs are still on my mind.
I remember cleaning house with the older 155 racecar in one of the early Gran Turismo games. It was a well balanced monster that revved to like 12k rpm.
That sound is still ripping everything apart! Something you cannot say of modern touring car racers.
Incredibly high reving, shifting up and down in no time and the singing sound of the gears - just love it!
12.300 RPM
For a V6 this has to be the best sounding one ever🔥🔥
Incredible sound! And the Martini livery... Makes any car instantly look 10 times better.
Now I'm 5 years old hearing the sounds of the first racing I saw on TV 😍 will never forget.
Grazie per aver condiviso questo spettacolo!
Hi Bozzy. As far as I am concerned, Italian is the most beautiful spoken language on the planet and this Alfa Romeo speaks it fluently. Who could make a valid argument against that claim?😉 That intake howl is so sublime... definitely the sweetest sounding V6 I've ever heard.👌 Thanks to you and your mates for recording and sharing this awesome machine for all to enjoy. Absolutely brilliant work, Bozzy! Cheers!🙏🙌
heheh love the first part of your comment, mate XD Thanks as usual for watching! Have a great weekend, Mick!
Une des plus belles et une des plus efficaces voitures de course de tourisme de tous les temps! J' ai 67ans et je me rappelle tres bien du DTM des années 93/98! Quelles voitures,quels pilotes,quel team! Merci Alfa Romeo, merci Mr Pianta e a toute l´equipe tecnique,merci Mrs Nanini,Larini,Danner! Stay safe!
Allein der Sound macht Gänsehaut 🙄👂😉👍
Love the sound of those RPMs! Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for watching
Best air intake sound ever😍
That Gutmann exhaust system is really gut Mann!
Now seriously, this is the best recording of any Class 1 machine I ever came across. Absolutely fantastic! If only 19Bozzy92 was already recording when 30 of these things flew through the Hardtwald of Hockenheim in the 90s. :-D Wige Media back then often didn't even get the onboard sounds across, what a joke that was.
Somebody now needs convince Volker Strycek and maybe Toto Wolff to bring the Calibra and the C-Class models of 1996 together with 19Bozzy92 exclusively for a recording session!
Also as usual a very informative video description. I followed the series in every detail back then, but I think I never knew about FIAT not wanting the development of a new engine. I wonder if they were already thinking about quitting the class at that point or if the fact that a new engine was developed nevertheless caused some anger in FIAT's management fueling the decision to quit.
Btw looks like the driver is using the automatic upshift here. The automatic functions of the gearbox caused some stir at Mercedes and Opel back then AFAIR. Did you talk to the people in charge of the car now about how high they rev it nowadays?
Thanks very much for uploading!
First of all, thanks a lot for the very kind comment, man. Well, if there was a time machine, I'd definitely go back to the mid-80s and keep going until the late 90s to record what I consider the best motorsport period. But yeah, I/we have to be happy with these owners and events where you can still appreciate those beautiful machines.
Thanks for reading the description too. If I understood correctly, the FIAT matter has come out in recent years with documentaries and interviews with old engineers and people who worked for Alfa Corse in those years. I put a video link in the description (this one: ua-cam.com/video/ohPEXfm7q1M/v-deo.html ). It's an Italian interview done by the same guys who organized the track day where I recorded this 155 DTM. English substitles are really well done so if you are interested from 24:48 they started talking about their 1996 engine, with all the background.
Regarding the automatic upshift, that's correct. I've never noticed it (and even know about it) until I saw this video a few years ago: ua-cam.com/video/ResWtrcVtVs/v-deo.html (at 13 seconds). After that I always wanted to get some on board footage of a 1996 155 to spot it. But, no I haven't talk to them if not to ask permission to put the action camera and asking if they were using the exhaust with mufflers or not (obviously before they started it up for the warm ups)
the most influential super touring car of all time
Perfect video ! thank you Bro - this V6 music ;) !!
My pleasure, as usual. Thanks for watching!
Close your eyes, and it sounds like a modern day supercar. Amazing car
katerspam just quicker
Alfa Romeo and Martini colors - simply The Best combination. I love it .
Mmmmmmm music to my ears. Thanks Bozzy!
My pleasure
Oh man! That is one briliant sounding car!
Incredible sound!!!!
Maaaaan that induction sound!!
The sound is a lot harder than you think, I’ve heard this car a few time on Nurburgring classic dtm and its crazy, best dtm sound ive ever heard
It depends. Since you've mentioned 'Nürburgring' and 'classic DTM', I think you may have seen and heard this one: ua-cam.com/video/ued3BJT5bKs/v-deo.html
In these years I had the pleasure to see 10 different 155 DTM/ITC cars in action and believe me, they aren't loud at all on the exhaust side (the sound comung from the intake is louder). In fact at 5:53 you can still hear that Delta at the end of the straight and people in the garage during the warm up can easily stay there without covering they're ears.
But the one of the video that I linked, yes, that's really really loud. You need ear plugs if you want to attend the warm up procedure. There's another one here in Italy that sound as loud as that, and for what I understood in these years, the owner simply removed the (probably mandatory to race at that time) mufflers
So the 155 in this video ran in the original state (so with mufflers)?
@@armorgeddon Yep
Ok, thanks! I saw your footage from the Nürburgring and indeed it was much louder there. But I think with mufflers it sounds much better, since the exhaust doesn't drown out the rest. It's also how I remember them sounding from back in the day.
Imagine if the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio used this engine with N/A tuning!
Da lacrime agli occhi ❤️
best sounding v6 i’ve ever heard
That’s incredible!
One of the sexyst touringcars!😍
Cuore Sportivo 🍀
That car is so beautiful damn
Mamma mia che macchina che potenza che rombo, grande alfa romeo 155 faceva tremare il campionato Dtm, insuperabile
MASTERPIECE!!! ❤❤❤
BOSS! 💪💪💪
What a sound!
What a beauty, & what a sound
Best V6 sound ever conceived
Full-on eargasms! Right up there with the V-10 F1 motors of the past, the Judd V-8, the I-6 from the E46 M3, the RB26DETT, and the I-5 Audi motor from the S1 UR-Quattros.
Soundgasm!
Amazing!😍
Beautiful
O Carro Alfa Romeo na Pista de Alta Rotação,Máquina muita Máquina .
Thanks for posting such a great film, what a stunning car! The engine though shares nothing with Busso's V6 masterpiece - it's entirely different and he had very little input in its design.
My favourite car in Assetto Corsa!
Very cool!!
Ma quanto siamo cazzuti noi italiani ! Quanto folli siamo per progettare una cosa del genere ! Bellissima ! Bravi bel video !
Best sounding 6 ever
Il futuro nel motorsport è turbo hybrid, ma il fascino, il brivido e l'emozione che trasmette la melodia di questo motore aspirato non ha eguali. Le vecchie DTM poi D1 sono il massimo per riuscire ad apprezzare il suono di un motore aspirato sia avanti che dietro, più di qualsiasi formula o prototipo. S P E T T A C O L O!!!
P.S. Peccato che ormai sono storia.
P.P.S. Scusatemi per la lungaggine.
Melodia e hai detto tutto.👍
@@paolorinaldi7179 ricordo ancora benissimo l'ultima volta che l'ho sentita alla Rieti Terminillo. Quando sbucava dalla curva: pelle d'oca!
autentico capolavoro! giu il cappello
Una delle più belle auto da corsa di sempre, il sound invece è quanto di meglio si possa ascoltare
This has to be the most awesome sounding v6 ever
Questa è una macchina che non avrà mai eguali.
Best car ever
One of nature’s greatest sounds.
Easily my favourite V6 noise of all time
MAMMA MIA!!
Awesome na racing engine sound !!
Imagine this version of the prv engine in the DeLorean DMC 12
God that would be so cool and would have a decent bit of power behind it!
Why in DeLorean?:)
@@joe125ful The DeLorean used a lame version of the prv v6, but sharing the base engine block used for this crazy 12000 rpm engine..
Also Venturi used a 600 bhp twin turbo version for 24h of Le Mans
Try read the wiki article on the v6 prv engine it's kind of crazy..
PRV
Peugeot
Renault
Volvo

Damn I wish every V6 sounded like this🙊
good job
They also handle amazing even the road spec 155 hold the road like glue
As a 80s kid i remember the old Alfas and think they were weird. but they are weird in a good way as i got older i appreciate them more for their genius design sound and sofistication you can tell they think their great and i like that attitude. about them the new Alfa quadrifoglio stelvio is nice.
Este sonido es mas hermoso que el de los f1 actuales
tremenda maquina!!

This car is pure emotion. The best v6 sound ever. ❤️
Stratosferica ❤️
Best times for ever. Best car for ever
Incredibile.... Bella Macchina
Sick
BRIVIDI !
I'd love to own one !
ART yesss
LOOK. AT. IT!
Automotive art.
Forza Italia! 🇮🇹 💪👍🏁🏎️🤓🇨🇵
mostro spettacolare
These cars had almost 200 hp per liter, without a turbo.
Not sure if I prefer intake or exhaust music... 🥰😍
I think DTM racers from this era are the best.
LEGEND!
But i like more first gen with 4 curved up exhaust pipes,better fin on this car.
We need this engine in new Alfa 155-V6 2.5 Litre 400Hp 9.000Rpm as road version:)
Remember this is the PRV 3.0L engine
No this is 2.5, too. The rules did not allow more.
@@armorgeddon yes, this is based on the PRV v6 engine
I believe they had 450. I always watched the races on TV. It was around 1993.
Fun fact. I believe this was the first year there was paddle shifters on gt style cars
4:09 Revs!! ❤
If had Alfa Romeo 156 GTA 💙
So...after researching for a while it seems to me that in the first season Alfa raced on DTM they used an engine all theirs, but then had to change to the PRV one in the following years. Is that right or did I get it wrong?
Hai filmato anche la lancia delta s4 che c'era ai paddock?
Bellissima l'alfa comunque
Certamente. Qua il video: ua-cam.com/video/rmNv09v7j3U/v-deo.html
@@19Bozzy92 grazie bozzy!
❤❤❤
Faaa las veía a todas a esas carreras salu Rafa de Argentina mardel plata..
We’re they 4WD? Awesome engine sound
Super auto,bravo!
Man, if there's a one car that I'd love to own and drive, it would 00's F1 V10 car, and after that it would be this Alfa.
can someone tell me, is this specific car using Busso V6 or PRV V6? as both were used in 1996 season, thanks
That induction note is pure porn.
comeback DTM
If only Formula 1 made it's latest engine naturally aspirated it would sound like this. No wonder the onboard of the 155 and an F1 car sound similar
Open up your eyes and realize that what we have is meant to be......
