The Alfa Romeo 155 was one of the first completely new Alfas designed and developed after the company had been taken over by Fiat. The image of the car was enhanced by Touring Car racing, where it was very successful in every major championship it entered. Abarth worked with Alfa Romeo to create the 155 GTA Stradale, a road-going version of the successful GTA Touring Car. It shared its 2.0-litre turbocharged engine and permanent all-wheel-drive system with the Lancia Delta Integrale Evoluzione. The prototype was presented at the Bologna Auto Show in 1993 and was also used at the 1994 Monza Gran Premio d'Italia as a medical car. Plans for a limited production run were cancelled by Fiat, who calculated the project would cost more than the cars could be realistically sold for.
