With teaser images and design sketches released a few days ago, Autodelta has quickly followed up to keep the media momentum going with a detailed release on the tuning program for the Alfa 159 JTS. After receiving special accoutrement according to Autodelta's J-Series designation plus the addition of a supercharger, the vehicle is renamed to Autodelta 159 J4 2.2 C.
Via Rotrex supercharger unit, redesigned aluminum intake manifold, NGK Iridium spark plugs and a remapped ECU, the 2.2-litre unit’s maximum power from the standard 185bhp gets raised to 245 bhp, an increase of 60 bhp. Meanwhile, peak torque is raised from 230 Nm to 290Nm, giving the vibrant sports saloon an extra 60 Nm of torque.
Autodelta has finally revealed images of the final body kit, which takes on a different styling direction away from the recent J5 and J6 models. Focusing on aerodynamic demands as well as increasing airflow into the engine bay, the result is a tasteful body kit that includes a front splitter, rear apron and side skirts, with the front and rear apron sections designed to fit the standard bumpers of the production Alfa 159.
