Alfa Romeo 75 (2.0 TS e 3.0 V6 POLIZIA), Perché Comprarla... Classic

Rear-wheel drive, longitudinal mechanics, transaxle layout: the 75 was the last Alfa Romeo with an old-school setup before Fiat arrived, an Alfa that continues to be coveted for the way it makes you feel while driving it, or while dreaming of doing so. As you know, the 75 recently celebrated its first forty years (in 2025), and with "Why Buy It Classic?" we continue to celebrate, with a T.0 win Spark and a V6 in the uniform of the former State Police Racing Team! It was May 11, 1985, when Alfa Romeo executives presented the 75 to Prime Minister Bettino Craxi, named to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Biscione brand. It was the beginning of the end for "classic" Alfas, but few knew it at the time. Economic difficulties and the need for renewal for the range, with the Alfetta and Giulietta needing replacement, made the mid-1980s particularly challenging. This is precisely why Ermanno Cressoni's K1 project was so interesting, showcasing Alfa Romeo's sportiness more clearly than other competitors. The technical layout is that of the Alfetta, with a transaxle architecture, meaning the engine is front-mounted, while the rear features a clutch, gearbox, and differential in a single unit. The suspension is independent, with a torsion bar spring at the front and a De Dion axle and Watt's linkage at the rear. The engines are a separate story and still significantly influence the value of a 75: at launch, the refined 1.6-liter, 1.8-liter, and 2-liter twin-cam four-cylinder engines with carburetors started out, while the 2,000-hp turbodiesel produced by VM of Cento delivered 95 hp. The top of the range was initially represented by the 156 hp Busso 2.5-liter V6, or 150 hp for the catalytic converter version intended for export. In fact, from 1986 to 1990, the 75 Milano arrived in the USA in the 2.5i Quadrifoglio Argento, Oro, and Platino V6 versions, joined from 1987 by the 183 hp 3.0i V6 and also the 2.0 Twin Spark. With the 75, supercharging also established itself, and thus came the 1.8 turbo with the 155 hp Garrett, the Turbo America, and the 75 Turbo Evoluzione, of which 500 units were built, the minimum required for IMSA and Superturismo homologation. Production of the 75 finally ended in 1992 after more than 387,000 units were built, including the Group A 75s used in the Italian Superturismo Championship or, as is well known, in rallies...
