The most classic Alfa Romeo stylistic features are immediately obvious on the New Alfa 166. Functionality and elegance merge in a form of beauty and power, where every detail is just where it should be and nothing appears superfluous. On the restyled front, the triangular radiator grill, the symbol that has made Alfa Romeo instantly recognizable over the years, acts as the starting point for two sleek lines that radiate out over the hood, hinting at the power of the engine underneath, and that then sweep smoothly back along the entire length of the car.

The line of the radiator grill extends outwards towards the side air intakes and new bi-xenon headlights, which have an even more dynamic design and more than double the brightness of traditional lights. The flush bumpers merge with the bodywork of the car.

The clean, spare style created for the side conveys prestige and quality through the elegant, restrained use of chrome elements.

The body has no sharp angles or corners. It is soft and curved, with the door handles and side indicator light flush with the body of the car. The curve of the fenders, and even the wheels, which are perfectly flush with the body, give the impression of a strong, compact car, one that is firmly anchored to the road, an impression enhanced by the solid horizontal axis around which the entire side seems to develop.

There are three specifications, Impression, Progression and Distinctive, and a range of 11 colors, including four new shades, designed to satisfy the modern, refined taste of those who appreciate the highest expression of sporting elegance in a car.
