Alfa-Romeo AR 8 Van

The ALFA ROMEO AR 8 Van (280_), produced from 1985 to 1989, is a practical van designed for utility and transport. With its spacious interior, it was well-suited for carrying goods or serving as a reliable work vehicle. The van's front-wheel drive made it easy to handle, especially in urban settings, where maneuverability is key.

Under the hood, the AR 8 Van features a robust 2.4 TD diesel engine with the engine code 8140.21.200. This engine is a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder setup with two valves per cylinder, delivering a power output of 92 PS (68 kW). It uses a prechamber engine design, which was common for diesel engines of that era. The van does not include a catalytic converter, and its braking system is hydraulic. While it lacks modern features like ABS or ASR, the AR 8 Van remains a classic example of practical and straightforward engineering from the late 1980s.
