2.5l V6 Naturally Aspirated spinning at 12000rpm and pushing nearly 450bhp. That's engineering porn
They developed that to 490hp in its last spec!! INSANE
I would love to have just the engine for the sound for a replica project that I plan to build I don't need the horse power or speed just the sound!
Ivan Nevistic The 490 bhp was based on the PRV engine
@@NamishIslands actually it didn't even have the PRV block, just the measurements. the regulations stipulated that the engines used for the DTM had to come from the series. but what should have been used from the series engine? if the engine was a 4 or 6 cylinder in line the same distance between the cylinders had to be respected, while if it was a V6 engine the distance between the cylinders and the same angle between the banks had to be respected. essentially the engines had nothing of the standard ones, but only respected these 2 parameters. When Alfa Romeo entered the world championship in 1993, it was equipped with a 2.5-liter 60-degree V6, derived from the Busso V6 engine. this engine had a very high rotation speed, which could reach peaks of 12,000 rpm, while the Mercedes engine stopped at 9,500 rpm. this allowed the Alfa v6 to develop 50hp (420hp - latest evolution 450hp) more than the second most powerful engine on the grid. obviously the Germans did not stand by and began to develop engines that could compete with the Italian V6s. for the 1996 championship Alfa decided to develop a new engine. engineers discovered that a 90-degree v configuration would open up a number of advantages in both power and size. the problem was that Alfa Romeo had never produced production V6 engines with a 90 degree angle, but had produced 90 degree V8 engines, so it was decided to use the Montreal V8, but this had too small a distance between the cylinders and it was not suitable for future developments. checking the documents it was discovered that for a few years Alfa Romeo owned the Lancia and the Lancia Thema model was equipped with the 90 degree PRV V6. therefore, in its history, Alfa Romeo had also produced Lancia cars and this allowed it to use the measurements of the PRV engine. consequently for the 96 season 2 new engines were approved, one derived from the V8 Montreal and the other derived from the V6 PRV, but only the second was used in the race. the new engine developed a power of 500hp, but arrived on the cars after the season had already begun.
This car is a beast even today.. one of the most impressive cars ever built for its time
Not a alfa guy but i like about everything about this car.
Alessandro Nannini was brutal in this car. I was at that race life. Loved how he got his revenge on Roland Asch
hendrik campioni He was literally flying, way faster than any other driver on track. That was a legendary race.
Roland Asch..... infame traditore
I think Larini was faster while Nannini was more spectacular (tale note that he ran practically with one hand and a special gearbox)
I watched every single race with my parents. I was 10years old back then. We were huge alfa romeo fans. My dad had a GTV6 2,5. Nicola Larini and Alessandro Nannini drove all the others into the ground and the benz armada (Ellen Lohr, Klaus Ludwig, Roland Asch...) had nothing against them, even when the alfas had to carry a huge weight penalty. And the german speaker Rainer Braun was very very biased and always talked the benz up....but the alfas won...almost every race. It was a blast!!!
As i recalled the races, when it was raining the Alfa's was always winning, but in the dry, the benz's was more equal.
yes, in the rain the alfas were unbeatable. In the dry the benz had a little chance but the alfas dominated anyway. At least thats how i remember...
@@patriotdiz4846 same story in the italian touring championship where audi was the 4wd unbeatable in the rain, alfa fwd had a chance to chase them and bmw rwd had no chance... On dry tracks bmw was favourite with alfa and audi chasing... It was really equilibrated actually and so spectacular indeed...no brand dominating on the other one
@@patriotdiz4846 to tell the truth in 93 there was no history in either wet or dry 😊
I think this is one of the most iconic Alfa´s ever built.
Torben Alstrup Alfa has a great racing history but yes, the DTM era is one of the most significant especially for the younger generation.
Child hood flashbacks of Gran turismo.
and Sega Touring Car Championship!
This car on Rome nights track was awesome.
I used this bad boy a lot on GT1
Picked this car and the espace f1. Love the alfas design. Ah memories
One of the best cars in the game IMO
I can imagine the much more rare and special thing is a french man speaking english.
Imagine something even more rare if possible, is an english man speaking any other language ;).
gregzapia English is like three languages in one anyway, it’s hard enough keeping track of all the words we’ve stolen, without trying to learn a whole other language.
This sounds dumb,you know you can speek multiple languages...
Tony Valdez Well in effect we do, because of the amount how much it truly is multiple languages combined.
I think the problem for the British when it comes to learning other European languages, is that post world war 2, most of Europe picked up English, and they’ve continued to do so due to the influence of tv and the internet.
It’s quite frustrating trying to use any phrases beyond basic courtesies abroad when your English accents so obvious, as people either switch straight to English to make things easier for you, or go and grab the nearest relative or colleague who speaks English fluently to interpret for you.
A French man speaking English to describe an Italian car running in a German race championship. Top Job.
I was born in 1980. My father was a big Alfa lover, got a 33 1.5, then a 33 1.7 QV, then a 33 1.7 16V QV.
I let you imagine what that 155 was to me……………. ABSOLUTE DREAM
DTM at its finest. Engineering and design perfection for its time. Glorious. Thanks for posting.
Nice... Love this car. Back in the days when cars and racing was in a great era.
@XGamerX Not sure if you understand what I mean... Never mentioned that today's motorsport is not challenging but back then the drivers skills and experience counted more than todays high tec machines and gear. Think about it... I'm enjoying every single event that I visit, modern and classical. Back then was without any doubt a great time and a big part of it was developing new technologies and improvements tho.
XGamerX the cars are “better” but the racing is not
@@weston9106 no shit the cars are better lol
@@reymenders5437 I dont think you read the discussion but thank you for the pointless reply
@XGamerX and that is why it became boring.
As a child this was my favorite car. Still in 2019 it's a beautiful car and the build is top spec. I now drive an alfa as my daily!
Still in 2020
👍🏼👍🏼
Dude, its amazing you got to drive this car. You're driving a legend.
The engineering in this car is incredible. I especially like the tubular frame, the way it triangulates to a central point.
Yea, I'm in love with the car, amazing job they did in it!
Where my love of the DTM and the Alfa 155 started, The sound of the DTM Alfa`s ripping around Donnington in the UK - What a sound - What a car - Amazing
My favourite of the old Touring Cars. Absolutely awesome
It does amaze me. In the 80s and 90s the BTCC and the DTM had a huge array of manufacturers taking part. The racing was close, fast and exhilarating. Now...Its a procession made by 2 or 3 manufacturers tops. I know money is the issue but its relative. These DTM cars would not have been cheap to develop and make even in the early 90s. Its so sad that these pinnacles of motorsport have declined so much.
BaggaleyTech the crazy thing is btcc uses spec engines now to try and make things more even, but it still ends up being processional, racing classes need to be more open again, and I think everyone would love to see the crazy road going homologation specials that used to happen make a come back.
and nobody gives a damn anymore. But do you remember that racetracks full of enthusiasts?
to tell the truth the German DTM regulations were very flexible let's say. we are talking about a strictly German championship, made and run only by Germans, with all the regulations written by the Germans in German. the DTM cars therefore respected a regulation that made them more advanced than the touring championship cars. as for touring cars, also in the DTM by regulation a mass-produced car had to be used to participate in the championship, but unlike the touring cars, in the TDM of the production car only the appearance and measurements of the car body had to be used. for the engine it was necessary to use one of those produced in series, but the regulation required the manufacturers to only respect the dimensions of the series engine and the maximum displacement which should not go beyond 2.5 litres. therefore, if the engine was a 4 or 6 cylinder in line, the distance between the cylinders of the standard engine had to be respected, while if the engine was a V6, the distance between the cylinders and the same inclination of the v had to be respected of the series engine. the result was that of the series engine, there was nothing under the hood of those cars. However, until the early 90s, the cars had a chassis and suspensions which, although heavily modified, resembled those of the cars taken from the series, but in the 90s, the undisputed dominance of Mercedes led to the withdrawal from this competition of Audi and BMW, leaving only 2 manufacturers left, Mercedes and Opel. to increase the spectacle and attract new spectators, it was decided to look for other manufacturers outside the German borders, but no other manufacturer wanted to go and get beaten by the Germans in a championship where the regulations were written and put into practice by the Germans themselves. so it didn't work. a manufacturer with a very high record of touring victories was needed to give new life to the championship. therefore Mercedes decided to officially invite Alfa Romeo to participate in the championship. Until that time, Alfa Romeo had won 13 world tourism championships and was the most successful car manufacturer in this discipline, therefore it had an important coat of arms and its presence could give new life to the championship, but in the early 90s Alfa was in the chaos, a few years ago it had been absorbed by the Fiat group after the negotiations with Ford fell through and imagine if Fiat, which as we all know has the short arm, would ever have allocated funds to allow one of its brands to participate in a championship so expensive. but to everyone's amazement, Fiat allowed Alfa to participate in the championship, but with clear and precise limits: if you participate you must win, if you don't win, you will be immediately withdrawn from the championship. win now? in a German championship held at the home of the Germans?? Imagine the pressure that Fiat had put on the Alfa Romeo racing team. but Fiat did not skimp and allocated the necessary funds to enable Alfa to present itself at its maximum potential and in 1993, Alfa fielded its car for the DTM championship, the 155 2.5 V6 Ti. but that wasn't a racing car, it was a real warship. while the others had engines that reached 9500 rpm, the Alfa engine reached peaks of 12000 rpm, this allowed it to deliver 50hp more than the second most powerful engine on the grid, furthermore it had a modular 4x4 traction system that allowed to move the setup from 70-30, 60-40, 50-50, 50-60 etc. based on the characteristics of the track. the Germans were taken aback and were unable to respond in any way and Alfa Romeo dominated the 1993 championship, winning the championship on its debut. this ignited a rivalry between Italians and Germans which in the following years led to a violent development of the cars, so violent that the last developed examples had the same costs as an F1 car and in fact had become F1 cars with covered wheels . essentially what remained was a carbon fiber bodywork that faithfully reproduced the standard one, but this covered a racing prototype that no longer had anything to do with the car it represented.
in this video we see the latest evolution of the 155 project from 1996. the chassis had transformed into a sort of mixed monocoque with a carbon base and welded tubes, the suspensions had become active push road type, the aerodynamics themselves were a key point and the engine also served as a load-bearing element in the style of f1 etc. cars. in essence, the development led to the birth of real, very expensive track monsters in just 3 years. it is estimated that the cost was the same as a formula 1 car. this combined with other factors, led to the collapse of the championship, with its definitive closure in 1996. but look at the work of art that emerged from it, it seems to dance on the tracks, its mechanical grip and something extraordinary. ua-cam.com/video/LNnam9IoSsQ/v-deo.html
Alfa Romeo 155 V6 Ti DTM is a killer really fast AWD just ate up all the German cars .Driver Alessandro Nannini he was awesome.
So cool. Thank you so much for this. In my opinion one of the 3 good sounding v6 motors ever built.
what a brilliant car, i agree when he said this car was ahead of its time and 2.5 ltr v6 12000 rpm,440hp what's not to love
Takes me back, i owned one of only two 155 wide body's in the UK. Think this was in 95. Looked good in red with black wheels,always had a crowd round her at the touring car races. Worked well for an Alfa with only the wipers refusing to work in the rain! Do love an Alfa.
😋
Which 155 Model was it then with wide body?
@@ropi4524 twinspark 1.8 in red with black wheels.
Love the 155 in race spec. Very handsome car with the power and grip to back it up. One of the very rare 4wd roadgoing versions would definitely be in my top 5 dream cars
I was at the Nurburgring 1994 and Hockenheim 1995. Always remember the Alfa 155 V6 TI sound. Forza Alfa Romeo!
Alfa Romeo 155Ti (1993) was a "street F1" car
as Lancia Delta S4 (1986) was a "rally F1" car
Looking back ,this car was the end off the good old days of dtm where they where racing streetcars ,This Alfa was a kitcar just like the dtm's they racing now a day's
EddieNL yes from 1993 the rules became more liberal. The Class 1 cars are extraordinary machines and we are glad that the rules allowed that, just like the last GT1 cars of 97-99.
Back when DTM was about touringcar racing instead of spaceframed silhouette racers.
Now, its just an another gt3 series.
@@petarspajic7648 todays touringcars are like NASCAR. It resembles the cars they are based on. These alfa's where streetcars with rollcages. Real touringcars.
Was fortunate enough to live in Germany during those times. DTM my all time favorite racing series...
Great video!!! I used to play a lot Gran Turismo in PS with this car :) Happy to hear that machine on track!
Angel Vargas same with me lol love it
this was my go to car in gran turismo 2 and i've always loved the look of this car! and the exhaust note is awesome!
Even someone says race car now this is what I think of. When this came along I had already been watching racing for some time but this was one of the only cars to leave a lasting impression.
Thanks for sharing.
It's one the most beautiful touring cars ever made and the v6 wow. Thanks for the video
One of my favorite DTM vehicles. Thanks for the post.
Thank you for keeping them alive!!! :)
What a machine, what a piece of engineering, todays race cars may be a lot faster a lot more refined but the brutal simplicity of the older stuff makes them far superior in my eyes
One of my favorite cars to drive on Nurburgring in Gran Tourismo 5. Would run against the 240 mph GTP coupes....could hold 2nd place for near a whole lap but just didn't have the top end to keep it on the long back straight & would get passed at straight's end by the 3rd, 4th & 5th place cars, putting me back to 5th, but often managed to get 3rd back on the last set of corners before the finish line. The "virtual" Alfa 155 was an absolutely faultless handler, hard charge the corners & just throw the car sideways entering, steering totally counter locked, balancing with throttle. Through esses & switchbacks with the ease of flicking a wrist. Never spent much time on the brakes.
I used to draw that car all the time in my childhood. The model I had took pride of place in my bedroom.
Very informative...I was watching these when they raced in period but not a lot of technical details where available back then...would feel like a hero driving this
Best touring car ever!!!
Very cool to see such a unique car and to listen to the legend behind it.
That H gear box.. amazing car, one of de most beautiful era
I have one of this in my PlayStation memory stick, love it
This a great video. I loved that car in its day. Alfa 155 - legend.
I wish they’d bring this car to GT Sport!
Why do 90.is Cars look soo much bether than today cars?
Not designed by a safety committee chaired by an accountant.
You may think they look good but are you sure? :D
I wonder the same thing..?
Becease they are much more cooler and angry!
It wasn't designed to keep alive pedestrians in a crash, that's wahi now all the bonets are so high.
That induction noise is sensational! Exhaust quiet in comparison. (but nicely tuneful to)
A quality video
A regular 155v6 owner :)
Nice!
I've only owned the 147 (only the 1.6 - I was 21 :p) and the Giulietta Sportiva. I went a bit crazy with things like Mazda, Mercs and Renaultsports... but I'm back home now, and here is where I'll stay.
I regularly drive one.... in Assetto Corsa.
So good driving it around Nordschleife.
Beautiful race car. Thank you for sharing.
Wow what a car! Back when u had a real gearbox not these semi auto granny boxes. No driving aids, driving the car thru the throttle to induce under steering and over steering. That 155 is absolute art....🏁🇮🇹🏁
how not to agree?!
Magneti Marelli computer ! Fantastic. This is awesome content. Thank you for making this.👍
merci de m'avoir fait découvrir les dessous du capot moteur de cette bête de guerre.
My dad took me to Donington in 93 for the German DTM, I think Tarquini was also a driver if I remember correct. I'm a BWW/Merc man but this car was something else. As someone mentioned earlier, Tamiya launched this as a RC car. Memories!
And I have one 1:10 scale ...
bello vedere l evoluzione di queste macchine dal 93 al 96...meravigliosa complimenti davvero
Fabulous car. Great to see a great sounding racecar being hustled with a manual gearbox as well. Doesn't look like the gearbox is slowing things a while lot compared with a modern DSG affair.
The massive use of carbon fibre throughout this car before it was a mainstream medium just shows how special this work of rolling art is!
Thank you so much for sharing :-)
i enjoyed every second. thank you
max thiele thanks
My favourite modern era touring car fabulous!.
Even today the dtm has the best most amazing looking cars of any touring car champship. Which it was more available to watch on uk tv.
Circuit at 3:18 is the Jerez “Angel Nieto” Circuit in Spain. It was often used by Alfa Romeo for testing the DTM cars.
I would drive this thing so fast that It would probably be the end of me and I WOULD DIE A HAPPY BOY!
Alfa is life...Alfa fovever!
Yeah really rare version with 4 bombers curved up,sounds better than modern straight pipes versions.
Next:Audi A4 DTM its rare too and fast.
So beautiful! What a machine! Just every detail is beauty in function and form. 😍
wow what a car! Thanks for such a great video!
What a beast! Absolutely Gorgeous car!
Amazing build even by today's standard
first car i think of when i think of alfa romeo. coolest touring car ever
I have one of these. It fits on my palm, but still, I'm counting it.
Wow gran turismo had the sound on point I remember driving this car
On Davide Cironi
UA-cam Channel you got all about Alfa Romeo DTM Team. Amazing Story.
These cars sounded incredible!
Not even nasa could build a car like this
Correct. Nasa use to build and launch spacerockets.
Klaus Ludwig und Roland Schneider sind damals öfters mit meinem Vater unterwegs gewesen..... ich werde diese Erlebnisse nie vergessen...
Habe auch ein original lenkrad aus Kekes Calibra im Regal stehen ;)

That induction noise
That was the old good time where Italy stand in front of Germany building a race Evil to circle German cars like a shark and smash them, the 1996 Evolution version is even sicker, instead of 60°motor they made a even sicker rocket with a 90° motor and 800kg of weight, the last years of DTM/ITC Alfa Romeo era, nowadays DTM is so boring with Mercedes, Audi, BMW and lost a lot of followers, I miss the old DTM😔
Absolutely agree. The 80's and then 93-96 was truly a golden era for the DTM.
Wow, I have always loved this car, thank you for making such an informative and beautiful film of this great machine, you got yourself a new subscriber 👍

God, that engine sound!!!
Cette alfa est magnifique...
Man I thought this car had a sequential box turns out it has an H pattern manual, that is so cool!
Raditram nearly all Alfa DTM had a sequential gearbox from mid 94 but few Alfa drivers used the H pattern manual throughout the 95 season.
@@FrenchSpeedConnection That's awesome didn't know that!
The budget for those DTM teams was on par with F1 at the time. The Williams Calibras were equally awesome. Fun little fact - the Calibra V6 engine was actually an Isuzu pickup truck engine, as it was the only wide Vee engine in the GM family.
And I wish I'd kept my 190 Evo I now... Sold it for 12k GBP back when nobody wanted the things 😐
Which model of Isuzu had the c25xe engine mate?
@@ggerely sorry, wasn't clear - the DTM Calibra engine was Isuzu based, as the regs said it had to come from within the company group. C25XE was a narrow vee and not used in the race cars, or indeed the Isuzu.
@@duncanhamilton5841 the X25xe was used from 1993-95 in the calibra and for 96 the regulations change and they took the Isuzu engine, cause it can deliver more power and more reliable at the same time.
