Back in the day dad had a 155 Qx4, basically a Lancia Integrale in drag. Great memories. But regret to inform you, the DTM engine isn't based on the great V6 Busso in this 155. The DTM engine is actually based, only the cylinder angle actually, on the V6 of the Lancia Thema. There's a very long, subtitled or translated Video on RUclips, by the lead engineer of the DTM 155, what rule bending craziness they pulled off to get the 155 on track and then to win the series. Edit: immediately subscribed to your channel, looking forward to your work on this bella machina.
@rakashi.workshop it's a very honest mistake to make, all the PR and marketing of the time quietly implied the closeness of the road model to the one taking part in DTM. I even remember center fold adverts with the V6 road car and the racing car next to each other. But the narrower angle of the Thema V6 lent itself better to turbo charging, so the explanation of the constructor. In true Italian racing fashion they raced the rule book as much as they did the opponents.

@scuderiasenzasoldi8740 ruclips.net/video/DRcFpmQL3bc/видео.htmlsi=oov9gbDJcStY5EMG It is correct the Busso V6, was never used in DTM, it was homolgated but not used, above the Interview with the constructor of the 155 for the '93 DTM. See for yourself. Subtitles are provided.
E30 version would be Alfa Romeo 75, but 75 was a lot more advanced than E30. I think what comes closest to E30 among Italian cars is Fiat 131 Abarth, but it showed up a decade earlier than E30
@@rakashi.workshop I was thinking more of the type of drivetrain and weight. Imho, if somebody likes Alfa 75, or Fiat 131 Abarth, they will like E30 more than Alfa 155, as rear wheel drive makes a completely different cars, not to mention that while on track it didn't really matter, but in rallying front wheel drive cars were unable to stand up to rear wheel drive cars at the time.
Yo tuve uno con motor 1.8 de 8v de 128 CV en el acabado sport con las llantas negras negras..las aletas más anchas..más bajo, con los spoilers de serie etc Una maravilla de coche , lo tuve que vender para poder comprar un Lancia Phedra pues necesitaba más maletero por la silla fe mi hija con discapacidad .... Luego pude comprar un GTV. 1.8 16 v y lo tengo desde el ,2001 impecable por dentro y por fuera, Me encantan los alfas ...si les cuidas son fabulosos.y muy muy bonitos
Always thought these looked amazing in black, they’re way rarer than the red ones though.. Guess everyone wanted to pretend they were a DTM/BTCC racer.
Great content! I would love to see the entire restoration process.
I just got one myself that needs lots of restoring, hopefully your vids will be useful 🙏🏻

That’s not 100% right. The Busso v6 was used as a base only in 1993. 1994 onwards they used the PRV derived 90 Degree V6.

This car is beautiful
Hello from Chicago, you have a new subscriber! That is definitely a rare and cool car, especially because we never got this in the US market.
Thank you!
Good one! Im also restoring 155 q4 :)
What kit does this 155 have? It fits so good!
Wondering this too
Mighty Car Mods have some great vids on 2 western blokes travelling to and in Japan, buying old craptastic cars and modding them.

Sure, when we compare year to year. It's more about value between fans than direct comparison. :)

Turejau ir as 155 raudona tik ji buvo 1.8 paprasta... bet vis tiek ispudinga masina ir dabar praktiskai nepamatysi kelyje....

try not o edit short scenes, it give you a headache watching your video

Quadrifoglio?
Nope
Der Hocker gehört da nicht rein. Ist wieder eine Bastelbude das Ding. Henkel ran schweißen und weg schmeißen das Ding.
