Alfa Romeo’s DTM Legend Gets a Stunning Restomod: Meet the 55-SGT

In the early 1990s, Alfa Romeo’s 155 tore through the Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft, humbling rivals and cementing its place in motorsport history. Now, Italian coachbuilder SGT Automobili has unveiled the 55-SGT, a road-legal restomod that channels that racing pedigree into a collector-grade package.

This isn’t a simple badge job; SGT has reworked the body, powertrain, and interior to create something the factory never imagined. Production is extremely limited, and the price tag places it firmly in high-end collector territory.

SGT kept the 155’s signature boxy silhouette but sharpened every edge. The new aero package—revised front and rear fascias—brings the road car closer to the mid-’90s ITC racers that dominated the series. The stance is lower and wider, with bespoke bodywork that fills the arches properly.

These changes aren’t just for show; they reinforce the 155’s original character as a saloon that meant business. At a glance, it still reads as a 155, which is exactly the right move for a car steeped in period identity.

Only a handful of units will be built, and pricing sits well above what most enthusiasts can afford. SGT is targeting buyers who remember what the 155 meant in 1993—when Alessandro Nannini and Nicola Larini drove it to Alfa’s first DTM title, then dominated so thoroughly that the rules were changed to slow it down.

That racing pedigree commands serious money, and SGT is betting the right buyers will pay up. For those who missed out on Alfaholics’ sold-out GTA-R builds, this is one to watch closely. The intent is spot-on; now it’s up to the finished product to deliver.
