Great Q4!

Without the rearspoiler the car would look even better. But thats my opinion....

We didn't get the 155 in Australia, but at least one person has imported one. I actually saw it last night in the city of Adelaide.

What are they like to drive? I'd imagine the Q4 must a pretty decent machine with its similar mechanicals to the Integrale. What is the going rate in the UK for a Q4?

Not really sure if I could handle buying a car unseen, but to get something like this I certainly would have to as an import. Incidently there are beginning to be a number of Integrale imports here of late. There seems to always be one for sale in the Eastern states, usually without a conversion to RHD.

Might have to settle for an Alfa 75 twinspark... perhaps save the import for something a bit more exotic later in my life once I'm a bit wealthier :P

jack,
Regarding the rear spoiler... I think it suits your car very well! THe 155 out of race trim can look a bit bland... and out of proportion.\, but the trim package you have along withthe wheels and the ride hight fits, together very well. Very nice car! Don't change a thing!
Also... Really enjoyed the 155 DTM demo!!!! That thing must look sweet going down a regular road!!!!!

Thanks

Is this almost a Delte Integrale rebadged? Cause no wonder it makes you poor.LOL
Very nice beast. How is the handling?

[Jack_155Q4]

Thank you guys,

In the UK the Q4s do not come up for sale too often - only about 14 were originally imported - then some private imports etc - I would predict about 15-20 left now.

I notice this is mainly an american site - I honestly thought there were barely any alfas in america - im suprised the 164 cloverleaf or S got across, a lot of you sem to have them - my Dad used to - I loved that car but it was written off

The handling of the Q4 is fantastic - a bit understeery in the wet but will out run most things - when I drove round the nurburgring (up until the point of the power steerring breaking) it was sticking like it was on rails - I know its not on the level on a Subaru or Evo8 etc because it doesnt have all the active diffs and trick etc but I still think its great
@sprint - I dont plan to change much now - but I have said that before :lol:

Oh how I wish they sold these in the states. That is a freakin lil devil I love it!

Very nice car indeed. I wouldn't change anything on it either apart from put a Silverstone front spoiler extension on it.

I drive an Evo integrale as everyday transport and I'm hoping when I get a couple of my other restorations out of the way to buy a Q4 as I always liked the 155 (had 2 of them) and since the Q4 is very similar to the Lancia running gear it would be good for the winter.

Looks like an excellent paint job to.

I'll keep a note of your site for reference if you don't mind.

Wow thats beautiful. I love the simplicity. Do they have 6 Cylinders in that car too. Dont do too much in cosmetics. Remember its an Alfa ( more towards Maserati and Ferrari) not a Civic. or Tuner. I love it.
