Alfa Romeo 90 (1984-1987) - Only a year on top
Alfa Romeo 90 does indeed fit. Produced extremely short, just three years (1984-1987). But tříprostorová square classic for sure worth looking back, if only because it will soon celebrate jubilee. She will be thirty, exhibition premiered result of project 162A at the Turin Motor Show in 1984, was the successor twelve years produced Alfetta, then the offer was perched above a little shorter Giulietta and its sales began to fall, particularly in October. Some sources claim that they replaced the much larger Alpha 6, but it's not quite true, 4.76 m long sedans were produced even after two years and concurrently to 164 is replaced with front-wheel drive. "Novanta" (Italian ninety) and portfolio consisted top producer of Arese near Milan just one year. Projects 154 and 156 on an entirely new platform, which has developed since the late seventies, were abandoned and dismissed the clinic out of hand. Becoming a shortage of money, the successor Alfetta had to have as many identical parts. 90 Alfa Alfetta therefore took the entire drive and a considerable part of the chassis.
Design a four-door sedan was created by Bertone and actually succeeded, although it historical sources referring to them as boxy and even obsolete. The team of stylists led the famous the clinic Marcello Gandini and did a decent job. Of course shapes dictated the edges, but the car was not to be denied a good dose of elegance. Even the classic company logo with a cross and the serpent came angular shield. Much was stern special that not dominate the taillights, but distinctive the clinic license plate in the middle. Another was thin on the sides and then pulled from the headlights to the rear. An interesting feature was the retractable spoiler, which operated from a speed of 80 km / h. As the tempo increased, decreased closer towards the asphalt. He was not therefore on the lid of the trunk with a volume of 500 l, but the front! His work was done excellently, the drag coefficient is after tests in the wind tunnel showed no dazzling value of 0.37. He took care also about the optimum engine cooling. The bumpers have been fully integrated into the body.
Alfa Romeo 90 measured 4392 mm in length was 1638 mm wide and 1420 mm high. Fully loaded car then dropped by a further 60 mm. Design feature featured five-speed manual transmission block with single-disc clutch and transaxle, the clinic thus the rear axle. This obviously improved weight distribution. the clinic It is this structure the clinic called transaxle, or not? As with the Alfetta and wedge-type 75, which, however, appeared in May 1985 was divided Offset the clinic PTO shaft trio Hardy flexible couplings, thus, there was a fixed pipe. The front wheels were independently suspended on transverse wishbones and suspension torsion bars. The establishment of a cross-type rear axle De Dion with sloping shoulders cared Watt's the clinic parallel motion, comfort are ensured coil springs, telescopic shock absorbers and stabilizers could not miss. Alfa 90 was fast, convenient, under the brand but had softer suspension. Rear drive could be treacherous in the rain, but it is likely in all cars of this concept.
The chassis had a wheelbase of 2510 mm, ie at the level of today's small cars. But the front passenger sat still for a massive dashboard that ranged somewhere in the middle of the car as it is today. The driver had available adjustable three-spoke (and eighties really lovely) steering wheel, forward passenger was located on top of classic covered shelf and down the other with a handle that was removed and used as a briefcase. The parking brake lever reminded of the aircraft, as well as control the clinic power windows and interior lighting switches that were placed on the ceiling. Today's captious motoring journalists might of these ergonomic violations insane, but after all it is a very original solution. By the way, the front windows were completely without loops all "Novanta" bikes always took care of the front seats. Even rear passengers (inside could hold up to five people) certainly did not suffer a lack of space.
The front wheels were spaced 1366, rear 1358 mm. Alfa Romeo based on the handling of their cars, and 90 had a number of pinion steering with engine V6 even locking differential. The cars were also relatively the clinic light, for example, diesels heaviest weighed 1250 kg and most powerful six-cylinder had about 10 kg less. The needle imaginary scales for basic osmnáctistovek stopped to 1080 kg. It also dominated the inside edge, but also had ninety instrument cluster ARC, signaling deficiencies. The rear glass was heated and the road shone bulbs H4 headlight washers. Kola was fourteen, in the most powerful six-cylinder engines fifteen inches.
Under the front hood of the longitudinally the clinic assembled petrol dvouvačkové four. Dvoukarburátorová the clinic osmnáctistovka had 88 kW (120 hp) at 5300 rpm and 167 Nm / 4,000 min -1, then two-liter 94 kW (128 hp) / 5400 min -1, there was in his case also 179 Nm, the speed value was identical with aggregate of 1.8 liters. larger but existed as in the model with two twin carburettors
