Alfa Romeo 155 TS British Touring Car Championship, Simoni car nr. 56.
In 1994 Alfa Romeo prepared two Alfa Romeo 155's for the Auto Trader British Touring Car Championship. While many changes were allowed to the cars' performance and handling, the bodyshell and chassis were standard. Also known as the Alfa 155 D2, the car had a 2 litre 16 valve 4 cylinder engine, the same as the engine in the Alfa Romeo 155 Q4 but without the turbo and with a dry sump and five-stage oil pump. The engine developed over 280 HP and accelerated from 0 to 100 km/h in around 3 seconds. The cars top speed was well over 250 km/h. Delivering this power to the road was a 6-speed Hewland sequential gearbox.
