Bologna Motor Show

09.12.2005 The Alfa 147 Black Line - which has made its debut in Bologna - combines sportiness and elegance with a youthful and dynamic specification distinguished by a two-tone livery that combines Navone Grey with a glossy Black

The new Alfa Romeo 159 sedan and Brera sportscar are the undoubted centre of the many visitors' attentions at the 30th Bologna Motor Show this week. However these two models are flanked on the large, spacious stand by two new specification level examples of the Alfa 147 hatchback and GT Coupé.

Proving itself a vivid example of the Alfa Romeo world of style and technology, the Alfa 147 Black Line is being exhibited. The new Alfa 147 ‘Black Line’ is fitted with a 120bhp 1.9 JTDm engine, which weds sportiness and elegance in an exclusive youthful and dynamic specification distinguished by a two-tone livery that combines Navone Grey with a sophisticated glossy Black, central pillar, rear spoiler and caps for the mirror and for the roof. Inside, visitors can admire a new sporty two-tone cloth (black and red): exclusive to the Black Line version. The sporty impression is also accentuated by the car’s low ride, a chrome exhaust tail pipe and 17” alloys with diamond-shaped holes and 215/45 tyres.

The new Alfa 147 Black Line also offers as standard equipment VDC with ASR, ABS with EBD, 6 airbags, radio with CD player, leather steering wheel and gear knob, manual climate control system and foglights. The original specification, which will be available from 2006, may be ordered for all engines in the range and with a three or five door body.

Space has also been found in Bologna for a 150 bhp Alfa 147 1.9 JTDm in the Exclusive specification that offers the most sophisticated devices in the safety field as standard: including VDC, ASR, ABS with EBD and six airbags.
