About the Martini Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI

The DTM or the German Touring Car Championships continues to
enjoy a worldwide popularity among the racing buffs. Its exciting
competitions performed by highly tuned 2.5 liter machines are
often called the pinnacle of the world's touring car events.

In 1996, this popular series was re-established as the
International Touring Car Championships (ITC), with races held
not only in Europe, but also in Brazil and Japan. The famous
Italian car manufacturer Alfa Romeo has been one of the principal
figures in the series since its first entry back in 1993. For
the 1996 season, their 155 V6 TI was further souped up and a
total of eight cars were entered from three different racing
teams. Its high revving V6 cylinder engine was said to yield an
awesome 450 plus horsepower output. This tremendous power was
transmitted to all four wheels via a semi-automatic 6 speed
transmission and electronically controlled front, rear and center
differentials. The four wheel double wishbone suspension was
equipped with horizontally mounted shock absorbers activated by
pushrods. The exterior, although retaining some of the original
appearance, underwent numerous aerodynamic and weight saving
refinements.

The Martini sponsored 155 V6 TI's were piloted by the talented
drivers N. Larini and A. Nannini. With its eye catching color
scheme and aggressive performance, the Martini Alfa Romeo 155 V6
TI pleased the racing fans throughout the 1996 ITC season.
