1999–2001 Alfa Romeo 166 3.0 V6 24v Super Specs & Performance

The 1999–2001 Alfa Romeo 166 3.0 V6 24v Super combines the elegant proportions of Alfa Romeo's large executive sedan with a naturally aspirated 3.0-liter V6. Producing 223 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque, the 24-valve engine drives the front wheels and delivers a 151 mph top speed, with 0–60 mph taking 7.6 seconds. The DOHC V6 uses multi-point fuel injection and a transverse front-engine layout, giving the 166 Super the smooth, high-revving character expected from Alfa Romeo's larger V6 models.

There is also plenty of room for everyday use, with a five-seat cabin and 17.3 cubic feet of luggage space. The 166 weighs 3,494 pounds and uses double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension, with vented front and solid rear discs. Combined economy is listed at 18.8 mpg, while the 19-gallon fuel tank provides a useful touring range. The model was offered with both six-speed manual and four-speed automatic transmissions, adding flexibility to its executive-sedan character.
