The 155 was very successful in touring car racing, using the Supertouring-homologated GTA and the V6 TI for the DTM. Between 1992 and 1994, the 155 managed to take the Italian Superturismo championship, the German DTM championship (both with Nicola Larini at the wheel), the Spanish Touring Car Championship (with Adrián Campos), and the British Touring Car Championship (with Gabriele Tarquini). The 155 remained competitive until it was replaced with the 156, finishing third in the DTM (then known as the International Touring Car Championship, or ITC) in 1996 with Alessandro Nannini and winning the Spanish championship again in 1997 with Fabrizio Giovanardi. In 1993 Larini in an Alfa 155 was vice-champion in FIA World Touring Car Cup behind Paul Radisich in a Ford Mondeo. Afterwards, in 2009, it was known that the Mondeo ran that race with an engine 0f 2,200 cc instead of a regular 2,000 cc. The 156 was to continue the high standard set by the 155, winning the European Touring Car Championship multiple times.
