All-wheel drive Alfa 159

New GTA will get the grunt to the ground

It has the traditional Alfa Romeo 'Speedline' wheels and a deep front bumper, so it must be the high performance variant of Alfa's 159...but it doesn't end there, according to spy pic terriers, Carparazzi.

The 159 GTA will drive through all four wheels, by-passing the criticism of the 156 GTA that it could be a handful when asked to perform.

Since grip won't be a problem, Alfa Romeo will endow the 159 GTA with more herbs, courtesy of a version of the 3.2-litre V6 in a higher state of tune.

We already mentioned the wheels and revised front bumper, but the 159 GTA will also feature a rear airdam incorporated in the bumper cover moulding and four exhaust pipe outlets.

The photos show a few masked bumps (front quarter panels/doors and C pillars). They may be decoys, but we're betting the GTA's quarter panels will sport a vent not present in the standard 159's quarter panels.
