The Alfa Romeo 164 was already a remarkable step forward for Alfa Romeo's renaissance - so the four-wheel-drive Q4 must be something truly special. Proudly sporting the Busso 3.0 24V engine that delivers 230 HP, combined with a unique 4×4 drive system developed exclusively by Steyr and a 6-speed gearbox from Getrag, this was a car that boasted more than any of its contemporaries.
This particular example is a particularly desirable one, being one of only 300 ordered in the sought-after red colour and equipped with optional Recaro seats. This charming example of a Q4 has a rich service history and has been meticulously maintained, with recent work including a new timing belt, suspension components and more leaving it in a fine state of mechanical health.
With only 115,000km on the clock and a recently completed detailing, this marvellous car is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner.
