BRIEFING
In other words, sleek but solid, dynamic but robust: only outstanding stylistic balance can combine such different
characteristics.
And it is topped off by a small spoiler which combines styling and practicality, right above
the logo which is positioned where it is immediately visible, and the elongated lights,
divided by the slit of the boot, which include cylindrical shapes derived from the styling of
the front headlights. And finally, the new model offers a choice of 14 different colours.

1.2.3 Interiors

The interior of the Alfa Romeo 159 also represents an evolved expression of the sportiness and elegance embodied
by Alfa. It was defined around the driving position, focusing attention on the driver: excellent ratios for the distances
between pedals, seat, steering wheel and gearlever give the driver a sense of total control over the car, which
produces the enjoyable driving so typical of Alfa Romeo.
The facia and wraparound centre console incorporate all the driving instruments and are turned ergonomically
towards the driver. The speedometer, rev counter and other instruments, all strictly analogue, are circular with clear,
refined, extremely legible graphics. The anti-glare lip accentuates the 'boat' shape of the main instruments, confirming
a feature peculiar to Alfa Romeo design that is based on a deep-rooted attention to volumes and mature treatment of
surfaces.
To underline the functional continuity between the facia and the console, the designers aimed to achieve stylistic
continuity between them: the console, which is raised as if stretching towards the facia, has a sporty gearlever with
short, precise movements, and a comfortable armrest that incorporates a large insulated storage compartment.

ALFA 159 TRAINING MATERIAL
For example the 'muscular' wing which, next to the generous wheels, marks the widest point of
the car, unequivocally conveys the ideal of a car that is firmly 'anchored to the ground'.
In spite of its capacious size, the rear-end, with its beautifully balanced form, blends perfectly with
the front, setting off its unique personality, and has a horizontal design, underlined by a chromed
double exhaust tailpipe on the more powerful versions.
