2001–2002 Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 Twin Spark Specs & Performance

The 2001–2002 Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 Twin Spark is a first-generation medium sedan powered by a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter inline-four gasoline engine. It produces 148 hp and 133 lb-ft of torque, with five-speed manual and automatic transmission options sending power to the front wheels. The four-door, five-seat layout combines everyday practicality with the character of Alfa Romeo's high-revving Twin Spark engine.

With peak power arriving at 6,300 rpm, this 156 is designed to reward higher engine speeds rather than relying on forced induction. It reaches 133 mph and 0–60 mph in 8.5 seconds, while the 2,998-lb curb weight and 102.2-inch wheelbase provide a relatively compact sedan package. Double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension complement the front-wheel-drive chassis.
