Description
The Alfa Romeo 155 V6 Final Special Edition represented the concluding chapter of one of Alfa's most iconic sports saloons from the 1990s. The 155 had already established a strong reputation due to its sharp Italian aesthetics and remarkable motorsport heritage, particularly in touring car competitions, where it excelled in championships throughout Europe. However, by the late 1990s, Alfa Romeo was preparing to introduce the 156, making the Final Special Edition of which production was limited to just 250, made a noteworthy tribute to the model, targeted at genuine enthusiasts and primarily focused on the Japanese market.
At its core, was the renowned 2. 5 litre 'Busso' V6 engine, an all-aluminium marvel celebrated for its smooth power delivery, distinctive intake sound and unmistakable exhaust note.
The Final Special Edition generated approximately 166 bhp, transmitted through a five-speed manual transmission to the front wheels. Visually, it distinguished itself with subtle yet purposeful enhancements. These included Speedline alloy wheels, sportier bumpers, wrap around rear spoiler, Brembo brakes, exclusive badging and yellow Carello front fog lamps, differentiating it from previous 155 models.
As with all Final Special Edition models, it came in the sought after "wide body" design. It was initially registered in Japan and boasts a commendable service/ inspection history from there, along with a complete record since its arrival in the UK in 2017.
Number 170 of 250, this outstanding example is offered in superb condition and has recently received some minor recommissioning work. This included a cambelt, tensioner and water pump service (in December 2024 at a 137, 682 kms), as well as comprehensive detailing and underbody preservation works in February 2025.
The vehicle comes with a current MOT test certificate valid until 21st July 2026, extensive history folder and full dealer book pack. Showing 138, 005 kms (85, 752 miles), the service book shows 11 services up until 101, 596 kms (63, 130 miles) and with comprehensive UK service, maintenance and parts invoices since 2017.
These cars are exceptional to drive, offering remarkable handling and a particularly captivating exhaust note, further enhanced by an aftermarket twin exit piped sports exhaust. Today, the Final Special Edition is highly coveted, not only for its scarcity, but also for the enduring charm of the Busso V6 engine, establishing it as one of the most desirable and collectible sports saloons of its time.
