The 2008–2009 Alfa Romeo 159 3.2 JTS V6 24v Q2 is a performance-focused version of the 159 sedan, combining a naturally aspirated 3.2-liter V6 with front-wheel drive and Alfa Romeo's Q2 setup. The direct-injected engine produces 256 hp and 237 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed transmission. Performance is strong for the period, with a listed 155 mph top speed and 0–60 mph in 6.9 seconds, while the 7.1-second 0–62 mph figure reflects the separate 100-km/h measurement.
Inside its four-door sedan body, the 159 provides seating for five and 14.3 cubic feet of luggage space. The chassis uses double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension, with vented disc brakes at both ends, while the 3.2-liter V6 is mounted transversely at the front. With 21.4 mpg combined economy and a listed 390-mile range, the Q2 delivers a distinctive mix of Italian styling, strong naturally aspirated performance, and everyday sedan practicality.
