You could be forgiven for not knowing the #AlfaRomeo #Alfa90 ever existed, given it's been in production for just four years, between 1984 and 1987. Over that short period, less than 60.000 examples left the #Arese production line, the vast majority of which remained within Italy's borders.
Although well-appointed and engineered, the Alfa 90 proved uncompetitive against its closest competitors and disappeared quickly, so I guess you didn't know these five facts about it...
1. Active aero
The front bumper of the Alfa 90 incorporated an active spoiler that extended automatically once the car reached 80 Km/h.
2. Pioneering Electronics
Known under the CEM acronym, which stood for "Controllo Elettronico Motore," Alfa Romeo's own proprietary electronic engine management system was fitted to around 1500 Alfa 90 saloons.
3. Anti-lock brakes
In 1985, the Alfa 90 became the first Alfa Romeo model available with anti-lock brakes.
4. Campione
The Alfa 90 "Campione" was a limited-edition model offered by Alfa Romeo's German importer.
5. Station Wagon
In 1985, the Italian magazine Auto Capital bought an Alfa 90 saloon and had the Marazzi coachbuilding workshop transforming it into a station wagon.
