Alfa Romeo 164 Performance Overview
Across 5 verified tests spanning 1991 to 1994, Alfa Romeo’s 164 presents a compact performance record centered on the Type 164 sedan’s front-drive, gasoline-only formula. In U.S.-market testing, the range runs from the 1991 L Sedan at 9.8 seconds to 60 mph up to the quickest examples at 6.9 seconds. Power came exclusively from naturally aspirated engines, led by the Busso V6 family and AR06412 applications, with output in the tested cars ranging from 183 to 210 hp.
The early data shows a clear split between trims. In 1991, the S Sedan established the model’s quickest recorded 0-60 time at 6.9 seconds, while the L Sedan posted the slower end of the spread at 9.8 seconds. As the run continued into 1994, the LS Sedan matched that 6.9-second 0-60 result and produced the car’s best quarter-mile of 15.4 seconds at 94 mph, while another 1994 test returned 7.1 seconds to 60 mph.
That leaves the 164, in the available instrumented record, as a narrowly documented but consistent V6 sport sedan. Today, the fastest tested Type 164 remains the 1991 S Sedan and 1994 LS Sedan at 6.9 seconds to 60 mph, with all recorded examples using naturally aspirated gasoline power.
