‘Pure sportiveness’ is what Hoermann calls it’s latest ‘Italian stallion of the famous Milanese car manufacturers’. This expression is picked up by the designers and engineers of Hoermann, an Alfa-Tuner from Bavaria. As a subsidiary of Abt Sportsline, the team to be beaten in the DTM, Hoermann are currently working on Alfa Romeo tuning programs.

Alfa-Romeo 156 was seen as a revolution, destined to become a modern classic. With the advancement of the 156 to the 156 GTA, the Italian constructors were able to make connect the 156 to the golden years of Alfa-Romeo motor sport. In the field of aftermarket tuning, Hoermann is proud to announce a details of their extensive tuning package for the Alfa-Romeo 156 3.2 V6 24V GTA.

To give the GTA the correct sound, Hoermann offers a stainless steel exhaust system. The two oval exhaust pipes (148 x 75 mm), award the 156 GTA a distinctive note that is easily remembered and recognized.

The combination between the height adjustable suspension and the performance handling system, which allows a lowering of 20 to 60 mm, helps control the 156 in more dynamic driving situations. For worthy deceleration, a kit is supplied by Hoermann including a brake-set in combination with the flexible steel brake lines.
