One of the first to this requirement responded Italian body workers. By them they proved to be studio Pietro Frua and Viotti. They together built in 1947 specialist on base Lancia Aprilia. Still some body studio that built at the end of the 40th specialist on base Alfa Romeo it became Carrozzeria Stabilimente Farina.
Machine represented on the photo is built in 1947 on the base of the unassuming model 6C 2500 coloniale - version 6C 2500 for the servicemen. Automobile was represented to Concorso d'Eleganza di Como Villa d'Este during September 1947 and obtained the first place in its class.
I will make not a large retreat and will describe about Viotti. Firm was based in 1921 Vittorino Viotti as handicraft kuzovostroitel'nyy store, but she soon became industrial contractor s grow prettier by reputation, but this was Turin(sk) firm, and Torino is Torino as Milan this Milan. Geographical location is main explanation, why Viotti did not play the significant role in history Alfa Romeo. But let us return to the machines. One of the following works Viotti became specialist on base Lancia Aurelia, but this machine was only not much less than 6C 2500. Lancia Aurelia Giardinetta Was four-door machine, and 6C 2500 two-door, but outwardly bodies and parts of these machines were practically identical. By the way it is evident on the upper photo that the machine has a hatchway in the roof, this option for 6C 2500 was called Aerlux. Most likely, the selection of chassis with the building was based by the fact that the customer preferred to have specialist or larger than Lancia Aurelia or that simply built on chassis 6C 2500. On the contemporary measures this automobile can be compared by status, technical level and style only with Ferrari 456 gt Venice Station Wagon, Aston Martin Virage Shooting Break, Lynx Eventer or Gardner Douglas MTE.
One of the most uncommon postwar Alfa Romeo became mobile laboratory on the collection of the blood in the Italian cities. 6C 2500 autoemoteca was built Colli and it was presented (from Alfa Romeo, Pirelli and Italian Bank) AVIS (first and largest organization in Italy on the collection of the donor blood). One automobile in a similar performance was produced only. Interior included two large armchairs and refrigerator for storing the blood. As far as technical side is concerned, to the body firm, Alfa transferred by chassis of 'S 2500 in normal version (Turismo).
How many copies were released on that, in what years, nothing learned could not be. Attempts were made not only from my side, but also from side Marco Sambataro, demands were sent both on Ghia and on Alfa Romeo, but without result.
Giulia Promiscua Colli The rarest machine from entire
family Giulia. The initial version of machine was based on
Giulia 1600 Super with the chrome-plated radiator lattice and it was
most probably intended for the public demonstration. This
version, for the first time shown in 1962 (precisely this year signed
the turned yellow photo, sent to me from Centro di Documentazione
Storica Alfa Romeo, although in other sources are indicated or 1965.
- Il Quadrifogilio, or 1968. - on different sites), it was
completely glazed and equipped with folding rear seats as usual
specialist. Rear door was made largest possible, for the fact
that to decrease the loading height. Because of this the usual
rear panel Giulia became the part of the door. The majorities of
those produced Giulia Giardinetta were intended for the police and the
custom-house and they were half specialist, half by van. Instead
of the rear lateral glass in the machine was metallic sheet with the
vent openings. Late versions had the short fifth door, which did
not go to the rear panel, possibly, this was made for an increase in
the hardness of body.
Colli was obtained official permission from Alfa Romeo to the
production of specialist; therefore machine was completed by the
completely new roof of prepared colli. Majority Promiscua was
based on the mechanical part of Giulia Super (105.26) with carburetor
Weber 40 DCOE 24, but some of them were completed by carburetors Solex
C 32 PAIA 7. As a result was obtained model Giulia TI Promiscua.
This version of automobile was intended for the work to the
police. Italian body studio with building of the versions of
series machines tried for decreasing the prime cost to complete
machines by glass, which are established on the mass machines.
On Giulia Promiscua rear glass- was manufactured only for this
model. Alfa Romeo Proposed to sale this model through its
importers also of dealers in many countries. Two pravorul'nykh
specialists were prepared the first in 1968, to the second in 1969
they were delivered into Great Britain in 1969. There they were
used for the express- delivery in the technical department Alfa Romeo
GB. one of these machines and now it is restored.
A large quantity of specialists on base Giulia was produced by
small body firms, on our measures these were repair shop during the
small enterprises or the organizations. The basic client of
these Carrozzeria became the Italian police, which altered in
specialists standard Giulia Super those stood on the service in the
police. Outwardly these machines were practically identical to
machines Colli. It is known very small on the specialists on
base Giulia. Precise quantity of produced machines according to
official data of 16 pieces, including 2 pravorul'nye. In 1968
were released 6 machines, into 1969 - 10. But these data, most
likely are not accurate, for example, there are two specialists of
those built on base Giulia Nuova Super, moreover on the manufacturing
quality can be attributed them to works Colli. and indeed Giulia
Nuova Super it began to be let out in 1974. Although, most
probably, this was the work of another body firm, since Colli ended
its existence in 1973. So in this statistics are not included
automobiles intended for the work in the police. Do not enter
here also several machines of those built Colli for the needs of first
aid.
Alfa Romeo 2000 ambulanza possessed all qualities of the automobile of first aid, it was by actually fast - engine volume 1962 kub.sm and power (SAE) of 129 hp with 5800 r/min it had to be sufficient with the reserve for the automobile of this sense. Possibly, on the automobile was established the interlocking differential with 25% blocking, provided as the option on sedan 2000.
But the first mass automobile with the body specialist
appeared in gamma Alfa Romeo only in 1975. This was three-door
Alfasud Giardinetta 1.2 (Type 904 A). Machine was created on
base Alfa Romeo Alfasud 1.2 berlina, which was being let out by that
time of already 4 years. Alfasud Giardinetta Thought by
utilitarian aggregate and was positioned as automobile for the small
merchants and the fathers of large-family families. Style
Alfasud Giardinetta byl' is more practical, than elegant.
Enormous baggage carrier was, in the essence, the main advantage
Giardinetta: 1335 mm width, 820 mm height, 1375 mm length,
volume from 600 liters (with the folded rear seats) to 1300 liters
(seat they are decomposed). Interior was sufficiently simple,
and in finishing of cargo hold plywood panels were used. On the
specialist was established the 4th drum boxer (AS30102), who was
aggregated from the 4th by stepped gearbox. The engine with a
volume of 1186 kub.sm. with the diameter of cylinder 80 mm, and piston
stroke 59 mm developed 63 hp with 6000 r/min. This motor began
to be established on Alfasud in 1973 and it were differed from that
initially established since 1971 by the increased torque - 88 nm with
3200 r/min against 83 nm with 3500 r/min originally. On
Giardinetta were established wider tires - 165/70 SR 13 against 145 SR
13 - in Alfasud Berlina. The length of machine grew by 45 mm,
and were 3935 mm. the width (1590 mm.), the height (1370 mm.), front
(1384 mm.) and rear (1351 mm.) track, base (2455 mm.)
they remained without the changes. But here weight
increased on 85 kg. (915 kg.), which affected the maximum speed,
it decreased by 2 km/h (153 km/h).
In 1976 to the machine together with the 4th of stepped they
began to establish 5- TI the stepped gearbox (Type 904 a1), which was
used in versions Alfasud ti and Alfasud 5m. at the end of 1977 on 2
copies Alfasud Giardinetta was established engine (AS30184) from
sleeping compartment Alfasud Sprint by volume 1286 sm.kub.
Increase in the working volume was obtained by an increase in
the piston stroke on 5 mm (64 mm) and the application of carburetor
Weber 32 DIR 61. As a result increased the power - 75 hp with
6000 r/min and the torque of 102,9 nm with 3500 r/min. As a
result the maximum speed grew to 159 km/h - not poor result for the
machine with the engine of 1,3 liters even now. The same engine
subsequently was established on Giardinetta up to 1982.
1978 brought large renovation for Alfasud Giardinetta.
External changes consisted in the new bumpers with the plastic
cover plates and the small air ducts on the cowling. These
modifications were made in the spirit of that made a debut for yr
earlier than Alfasud Super - the apex of the model number Alfasud.
Such machines obtained the plant designation Type 904 b2.
In addition to this on the machine they began to establish new
engine with the volume of 1351 sm.kub (AS30160). Increase in the
working volume was obtained by an increase in the piston stroke to
67,2 mm. As a result the power composed 71 hp with 5800 r/min,
torque of 99 nm with 3000 r/min. So, predominantly for the
Italian market, was fixed output of restaylingovykh machines (Type 904
B) with the engine with a volume of 1286 kub.sm.
In all from 1975 through 1982 were released 5899 copies Alfasud
Giardinetta. Not greatest mass automobile, although if we
compare with the previous models this actually mass production!
Machines with the engine of 1186 kub.sm, from 1975 through 1978
were released - 3799, 1286 kub.sm from 1977 on 1982 - 1445, 1351
kub.sm from 1978 through 1980 - 655.
It would seem, machine was produced very recently, everyone
about it known, but as always floats newer and newer facts.
Known does not enter or not into the official statistics the
van, built in the sole copy on base Alfasud Giardinetta.
Automobile was used in the territory of plant Alfa Romeo in
Areze. In the machine, built approximately in 1976-77 years, was
established the engine with a volume of 1186 kub.sm.
Furthermore, there was one additional version alfasud for the
in-plant use - pick up, but unfortunately it nesokhranilsya. To
van it transported more, machine they sold to dealer Alfa Romeo.
One collector purchased that being being in very poor state
Alfasud and vostanovil him practically to the ideal. After some
time, was located an even larger judge of eksklyuziva from Alfa Romeo
and he redeemed machine. Now it is located in the Netherlands.
Thus ended era Alfasud.
Only several months later, during December 1984 began release 33 1.5 giardinetta with front-wheel drive. In contrast to the all-wheel-drive version, mono-driving had the lowered clearance and smaller mass, which affected dynamic characteristics.
During October 1986 entire family 33 underwent restaylingu. The changed radiator grill and another illumination engineering became the outwardly largest difference, and in the salon instrument panel changed. Front-page news under the cowling - the increased power of engine - 105 hp with 6000 r/min and the torque of 13,6 kg-m with 4000 r/min. Because of this living motor the maximum speed of all-wheel-drive specialist was 180 km/h, and acceleration to 100 km/h - 10,5 s. But now find, if you please, the contemporary all-wheel-drive specialist of the same class, with such characteristics! Of course not this machine, and passed already about 20 years! At the same time appeared diesel version 33 1.8 turbodiesel Giardinetta.
In 1988 Giardinetta they renamed in Sportwagon. Besides name appeared the model with the engine with the volume of 1351 kub.sm in assembly S - the power of 86 hp with 5800 r/min and the moment of 12,1 kg-m with 4000 r/min (two carburetors Dell'Orto DRL A of e'/.D). The machine of completely of appropriate name became the apex of gamma 33 1.7 sport Wagon Quadrifoglio Verde. On it was established the motor with a volume of 1712 kub.sm, which because of 4 carburetors issued 118 hp with 5800 r/min and 15,5 kg-m with 3500 r/min of torque.
Following yr became the year of preparation for the championship of peace on the football, which was passed to Italy. To this event it was specially released modification 33 1.3 S Sport Wagon Italia 90. In the same 1989 for the market left the first models with the catalyst - 33 1.7 ie cat Sport Wagon 4x4 Quadrifoglio Verde, 33 1.7 ie cat Sport Wagon Quadrifoglio Verde.
1990 brought with itself last restayling for Alfa Romeo 33. Appearance underwent serious changes in spirit Alfa 164. From 1990 through 1995, were released many interesting versions 33 sportwagon, the quite best of them this 33 1.7 IE 16v Sport Wagon Q4 released during May 1992. Machine combined in itself complete drive and 16 valve engine 137 hp with 6500 r/min - present diamond in the worthy mounting.
For the brevity I will give the list of all versions 33 Sportwagon 3 series on the years of the beginning of release.
1990 - 33 1.3 sport Wagon 4x4, 33 1.3 Sport Wagon, 33 1.3 Sport Wagon L, 33 1.7 ie 16v cat Sport Wagon, 33 1.7 ie 16v Sport Wagon, 33 1.7 ie cat Sport Wagon 4x4 Europa, 33 1.7 ie cat Sport Wagon Europa, 33 1.7 ie Sport Wagon 4x4, 33 1.7 ie Sport Wagon, 33 1.8 turbodiesel Sport Wagon.
1991 - 33 1.3 IE L Sport Wagon cat, 33 1.3 sport Wagon 4x4 Firma, 33 1.3 sport Wagon Explora, 33 1.3 sport Wagon Firma.
1992 - 33 1.3 ie Sport Wagon 4x4, 33 1.3 ie Sport Wagon 4x4 cat, 33 1.3 ie Sport Wagon, 33 1.3 IE Sport Wagon Brio, 33 1.3 IE Sport Wagon L, 33 1.3 IE Sport Wagon L Loden, 33 1.7 ie 16v Sport Wagon Q4, 33 1.8 td Sport Wagon Eco.
1993 - 33 1.3 IE Sport Wagon L Brio.
1994 - 33 1.3 ie Sport Wagon Flag 4x4, 33 1.3 ie Sport Wagon Flag, 33 1.3 ie Sport Wagon Tender.
In the beginning of 1984 of dream became reality. Was acquired Alfa Romeo Alfetta 2000 quadrifoglio Oro with the fuel injection and it was sent for the alteration for the body firm Zagato. Result came out not remarkable, but, undoubtedly, by such, such as wanted it to see editor in chief Auto Capital. This machine, until now, is located in the hands of this person. Gippo Salvetti, President Alfa Blue Team, very exclusive club Alfa Romeo in Milan, much once requested to show this his automobile, but answer was always one and the same: "no".
And it here at long last for me was possible to procure the photo of this machine. Driver photograph was to me sent from Austria by the large worshipper Alfa Romeo by Herald By bervidom. Remaining photographs are given to Marco sambotaro. It vkhozh in Alfa Blue Team, is occupied by embodiment on a scale of 1:43 rare models Alfa Romeo, and also by production of the scale models of catafalques. I do not know as to you, but me to please itself this Alfetta. Well, very pleasant machine!
On by Turinsk auto-show during November 1984 Alfa Romeo represented model 90, which was based on technology Alfetta. Specialist, built to order Auto Capital, for the first time appeared on the pages of this periodical exactly yr after premiers 90, during November 1985.
In contrast to Alfetta break the building was charged Marazzi, to the same firm, which at the end of the 60th dealt with building 33 stradale. Just as Alfetta break machine was built in accordance with the wishes of customer and completed by many original accessories.
But nevertheless, probably it will more interesting describe about the fate of this automobile, than about the list of accessories.
Were built two Alfa Romeo 90 sw, but 4 I do not know the history of another automobile. Most likely, it is located in the hands of editor Auto Capital, just as Alfetta break. As far as the copy of that represented on the photo is concerned, it a little is differed from the first machine. Interior is realized in the special material tex in the Scottish style Of kamberlendskoy fur. In the machine were initially established front seats from the usual material texalfa (tex - "fal'shkozha"), but instrument panel was made from not the typical material "Valextra". In other respects the machine was differed in no way from the original. Well and now let us return to the history of the first auto-. In its time the machine was studied by specialists Alfa Romeo to the object of preparation for the series production. But project did not obtain development, just as 164 sw and 166 sw. After this, the machine was sold to the friend of the editor, who used its long time as automobile on each day, he has the dog, that gorged front seats! By this their difference from the original is explained. After this, the owner of automobile decided to sell him and turned himself to the local dealer Alfa Romeo with the request to count this machine on account of new. Dealer made this and counted machine as usual Alfa Romeo 90. But was located man, which possessed complete information about this Alfa even he understood, it presents what value. It proved to be Gippo Salvetti, that very President of the milanskogo club Alfa Blue Team. He without delay purchased this machine.
Now automobile is used rarely. It occupied its place next to similar vintage Alfa as 75 turbo Evoluzione and Giulietta Turbodelta in the beautiful and safe place near Milan. on the very important cases the owner of automobile assumes the invitation to demonstrate to its experts on the flights of owners Alfa Romeo. And this valid solution, this rare automobile it must occupy one of the key places in any collection.
In 1987 on the Geneva auto-salon on stand Alfa Romeo were advanced two Alfa Romeo 75 with the body specialist (one colors gray metallik, another of red.)
Gray machine was equipped with carburetor engine with a volume of 1962 kub.sm and power of 128 hp with 5400 r/min. Torque was 18,3 kg-m with 4000 r/min. On the stand the machine was advanced by the name Alfa Romeo 2.0 sportwagon. Specifically, then for the first time in history Alfa Romeo appeared name Sportwagon. Red was built on base Alfa Romeo 1..8i turbo. The power of engine was 155 hp with 5800 r/min, and the torque of 23 kg-m with 2600 r/min. Name they also selected worthy - Alfa Romeo 75 turbowagon.
You will ask, however, and which did happen of all these machines? Two of them (it is not known, with what engines) now are located in the garage of management Museum of Alfa Romeo. But that rest? After the oblivion of project these machines began to use as the service automobiles in the territory of plant Alfa Romeo in Arese. One of them, until now, in motion, and rest cost on area for the destruction. Them never they sell, but simply they will destroy.
But as always were located people, to which was necessary precisely this machine - specialist on base Alfa 164. By man decided to personify its desire into the reality steel Tom Zat, the passionate worshipper Alfa Romeo. In its possession are located such machines as 2600 sz, GTV6 in the road and racing specifications, Alfasud Sprint Veloce. The total quantity Alfa Romeo in its hands composes 20 pieces, and this only those, which are advanced on sale. Among them there is 164 wagon with the series number ZAREA3Б4M6190970. With the interpretation of series number it was possible to explain that this Alfa Romeo was released during June 1990, on it was established automatic gearbox in the block with the engine of 12 valve three liter engines (engine of №00y"yyashch, marking AR 06412). Machine is now in unattractive state, primitive production is shown. For building of this copy, built in 1990, were used in large quantities the nerodnye details Alfa Romeo. So the basic elements of specialist - elongated roof, and rear door - are undertaken with Ford Taurus. The last time in this machine they drove in 1993.
For the basis with the development of specialist was undertaken undercarriage Alfa Romeo of 155 q4. The process of alteration 155 q4 consisted of cutting of the top of baggage carrier and preparing the new back from the plastic. Rear glass- - original from 155. Rear lateral - also from the plastic. Machine was made in one copy for the Geneva auto-salon 1994- GO of year. The work on the automobile was carried out by the students of the designer school Espace Sbarro together with designers Alfa Romeo. The moderator of project was Walter de Silva. Initially machine was color gray metallik, for its Geneva auto-salon they recolored in the dark- Bordeau red color, added underweight from Zender and the light-alloy disks of black color were placed. According to the data by that published on the official site Sbarro, the machine is accelerated to 100 km/h in 7 seconds, the maximum speed of 225 km/h.
Now Alfa Romeo 155 q4 Sportwagon is located in museum Espera Sbarro, on the speedometer path 120000 km.
6 years after the completion of release 33 sportwagon
Alfa it represented specialist on the base 156 models. Here it
would be possible, of course, to give complete information about this
machine, to describe its appearance, to mention that it engaged one of
the leading places in its segment of market. There is a complete
press release, with all technical characteristics, by the list of
entire auxiliary equipment, by the detailed description of firm
service and so forth this would engage approximately pages 15
typewritten texts. 4 only briefly I will stop at the development
of model.
Output of machine began during March 2000. It was
completed by engines 1.6 t.Spark, 1.8 t.Spark, 2.0 t.Spark, 2.5 v6
24V, 1.9 jtd, 2.4 jtd. Besides mechanical gearboxes were
represented automaton Q -System paired with engine 2.5 v6 24V and
robotized mechanics Selespeed together with engine 2.0 t.Spark.
The following versions of assembly were proposed: simple
Progression and rich Distinctive.
From February 2001 through February 2002 was let out version
Moving with engines 1.8 t.Spark, 1.9 jtd, which was characterized by
the wheel disks of design Selespeed with the size of 15 inches and by
wheels by dimensionality 205/60. As the option one inch disks of
the same design and wheel 205/55 were proposed by 16. Into
additional equipment also they entered suspension Nivomat,
audiosistema Clarion with RDS radio and by record player CD the base
price of machines in version Moving composed 25780 Euro-.
In 2001 for the German market was released Sondermodelle
"Edizione Esclusiva". This assembly was proposed both for 156
and for Sportwagon. For the additional payment into 2293 German
stamps it was possible to obtain machine with the specific collection
of auxiliary equipment. For example, painting with the colors of
metallik "Azzuro Gabbiano" or "Grigio Chiaro", the navigation system,
united with CD and under radio Blaupunkt DX R70, 16"wheel disks of
special design and much other. This packet was proposed for the
machines with engines 1.6 t.Spark, 2.5 v6 24V, 1.9 jtd, 2.4 jtd.
During May 2001 was also released version in assembly Limited
Edition of 2001 intended for the market of Italy. It was
proposed for the machines with engines 1.8 t.Spark, 1.9 jtd.
This assembly was constructed on the basis of version
Distinctive and proposed as the auxiliary equipment the built-in
telephone GSM, painting of the body of metallik of color "Azzurro
Gabbiano", 16"wheel disks and rubber of dimensionality 205/55 WR 16.
Machines in this performance on February 2002 were produced.
The base price of this performance composed 27230 Euro- for the
machine with engine 1.8 t.Spark and 28000 Euro- for 1.9 jtd.
During February 2002 Alfa Romeo 156 and Sportwagon underwent
modernization. Was extended the list of auxiliary equipment, a
little pererabotan interior. At the same time began release the
top of version GTA with engine V6 with a volume of 3179 kub.sm.
Were proposed 2 versions of this machine, they were
characterized by only gearboxes. On one version was established
the mechanics on another box Selespeed. The machine with the
engine 1,6 l, but with the reduced power was released in a number with
most powerful version during November of the same year, only of 110 hp
it just as it were proposed on the market in execution Progression and
Distinctive. At the same time would begin output of the machines
with 16 valve diesel with a working volume of 1,9 liters with the
power of 140 hp I whatever they showed competitions the "engine of
year", precisely, this motor was and it remains, technically
progressive diesel itself in the world on this moment!
Furthermore, in 2002 in Sportwagon they began to establish
two-liter power unit with the direct fuel injection - 2.0 JTS 16V. the
power of this engine was 160 hp with 6400 r/min. Very good index
for the mass motor! The power output per liter of 81 l.s/l!
Well and one of the latter is dash to means Sportwagon it became
feyslifting from Ital Design. In the plan of technology the
machine practically did not change, except 20 valve diesels with a
volume of 2,4 liters! The engine specialists of concern FIAT
again proved to be at the height motor with such characteristics it
proved to be not in one of the competitors. So was added the new
assembly TI (Turismo Internazionale). To order it is possible
only with the most highly technological motors - 2.0 jts, 2.4 jtd 20V.
On 13 July, 2004, in gamma Sportwagon appeared the new
assemblies Business, Classic and Exclusive.
Sportwagon Business Is completed only with engine 1.9 JTD 115
hp. In this assembly appeared the new colors of front panel
(beige and gray); also appeared the possibility to order the front
panel of two-colored (combination it was color chernyy/bezhevyy,
chernyy/seryy) or simply one-color black. Also into base
assembly enter VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control), ABS and EBD, the sensor
of rain. The outwardly this assembly can be determined according
to the new color Grigio Stromboli, the light-alloy wheel disks of the
new design of dimensionality 15". Cost Sportwagon 1.9 JTD 115 cv
Business 26.900,00 euro.
Sportwagon Classic Combined in itself sportivnost' and
refinement. For this assembly it is provided the new dark-blue
color Chiaia di Luna, the light-alloy wheel disks of the aggressive
design of dimensionality 16"and tire 205/55. Inside are
established new seats upholstered with material Alfatex with the
possibility of the selection of color range (gray, black, beige).
Furthermore in the base is established Infocenter, system VDC
and ASR. For this assembly are provided for motors 1.9 JTD
115CV, 1.9 JTD 16v M -jet, 2.4 JTD 20v M -jet, 1.8 twin Spark and 1.6

engine from 25.650,00 to 32.550,00 euro.
Sportwagon Exclusive One of samіkh of rich assemblies. _
already in base be present leather upholstering seat and control
muzіkalсo1 system on rulevom steering wheel. Also in the series
equipment is present 6 podusheko of safety and system VDC and ASR.
Outwardly Sportwagon Exclusive it is possible to distinguish by
light-alloy disks 17"and tires 215/45. Is also into the gamma
color it is added the new green Brooklands. Engines for
Exclusive are the following 1.8 Twin Spark, 2.0 JTS, 2.0 JTS
Selespeed, 2.5 V6 24v, 1.9 JTD 115 CV, 1.9 JTD 16v M -jet and 2.4 JTD
20v M -jet. Prices from 29.800,00 to 35.000,00 euro.
On 74 Geneva auto-salons during March 2004 Alfa Romeo it
presented reinkarnatsiyu of complete drive in body Sportwagon.
As it is written in the press release, the design of model is
developed in Alfa Romeo Centro Stile and contains the unforgettable
features of automobiles Alfa Romeo. In the machine are connected
extra-road advantages inherent SUV and the sharpened controllability,
by which they always was famous Alfa. The extra-road form to
machine give shielding aluminum cover plates on the thresholds of
body, special bumpers with the aluminum inserts and new radiator
grill. Crosswagon designates overcoming any road situations
without compromises. Big enough role in execution of the placed
into the name sense plays the increased to 6,5 cm. height and the
all-season tires of dimensionality 225/55 r17.
Differences in the interior are reduced to the built-in the
mirror compass and the new materials of upholstering.
Crosswagon Q4 Is accessible in three specifications
(Progression, Distinctive and Luxury), nine colors of body (Montreux
Green, Brooklands Green, Castlerock Brown and Moonlight Blue;
classical nuances - Kyalami Black, Stromboli Grey, Capri Blue,
Gonzaga Grey and Lipari Grey), four of which are developed specially
for this model in Centro Stile di Arese.
By the present raisin Crosswagon is all-wheel-drive 6 stepped
transmission with three differentials. Central, with four levels
of blocking, bears the proud designation Torsen C the nominal
distribution of the torque between front and rear axles 42/58.
Engine for Crosswagon is proposed thus far one - 1.9 jtd 16v
Multijet (150 hp with 4000 r/min, e0shchNm with 2000 r/min).
Motor underwent the insignificant modifications, which
contribute to more flexible characteristic and decrease the noisiness
and the level of vibrations. For example, system Common Rail
includes two new algorithms of work for the automatic calibration and
compensations of the phase of inlet for decreasing of noise and
vibrations. The brake system Crosswagon underwent improvement.
Front disks to 330 mm. are increased, the diameter of rear - 276
mm, it is established ABS BOSCH 5.7 with 12 solenoids. Is
considerably usovershenstvovana VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control), which
now accomplishes complex tasks not only because of the brake sensors
and the sensors of the system of engine control, but also with the aid
of:
1. body computer, which continuously exchanges information with
ABS, system of engine control and of sensor in the transmission;
2. electronic pedal of gas (it is exchanged data with ABS during
the motion in the turnings);
3. control board (active warning lamps);
4. the steering column and steering wheel (with the aid of the
steering sensor);
5. gyroscopic sensor of, recording level side acceleration
established on the floor, in the region of the legs of rear
passengers.
The partly this system appears ASR (Anti Slip Regulation), which
can with the aid of the brake system slow wheel and by this emit the
interlocking differential. ASR is included automatically,
immediately after engine starting, but it is possible to turn off it
by button on the central console.
Prototype is more than sportiven, than base model 156 gta, undercarriage is undertaken directly from the racing version. Outwardly machine underwent the following changes.
The first, wings are extended in order to contain into themselves wheels by size 225/40 R 18 - 91 Y. The second, for facilitating the automobile, cowling is made from composites and it is a little increased in order to contain new entrance system. The third, completely pererabotany bumpers - front includes the integrated spoiler, and rear pererabotan, so that in it 4 exhaust manifolds could be placed. Aggressive primes be present also in the formulation of salon. This is reached because of the application of the appearing sport- extreme suede and highly technological upholstering.
The controllability of machine is even more sport, than in base model, because of the application of the adjustable shock absorbers Bilstein and the springs Eibach with the special coiling. Brakes also underwent modification, the front ventilation retarding discs Brembo were increased to 330 mm. in the diameter. Machine is created with the direct participation N -Technology, the racing subdivision FIAT, on the basis of the experience of that accumulated with the participation in the races. It would be impossible without the sport experience to bring the unbridled power of 300 strong al'fovskoy sixes to the front wheels, indeed for the majority of automobile firms limit for the front drive are 225 hp.
1. the standard head device Blaupunkt RDS radio with CD and MP3, which is augmented by acoustics Bose, sabvuferom Bose, D -ce1ndjerom to 6 CD Clarion;
2. the navigation system NAVI with the large outstanding colored display, the hard disk to 20 gb, the possibility to lose the disks of sizes Dvd-video/dvd-r/dvd-rw/cd-rom/cd-da/cd-r/cd-rw, AM/FM/TV by tuner, three panels for remote control.
Assembly Sportwagon Linea Rossa could be ordered with motors 2.0 jts and 2.5 v6. Gearboxes only Selespeed and Q -System.
