From a technical and styling viewpoint the 164 LS has followed a natural evolution from the highly acclaimed 164. Thanks to the adoption of a series of modifications regarding above all the bumpers, headlights, side panels, mirrors and new alloy rims, the 164 LS has been able to re-interpret the style of the 164, with its characteristic look accentuates the aspects which are typical of this model: its class, prestige and safety.
Large bumpers provided with energy absorbing units ensuring shock absorbing in accordance with restrictive US regulations
Headlights integrated in the new design of the vehicle front
Heated door mirrors
The 164 Q still preserves the basic external characteristics of the previous 164 S model; the wide rear and front spoilers together with the amply dimensioned side skirts not only give the vehicle that sporty aggressive look but also guarantee improved aerodinamics in line with the increased engine power and the external vehicle design features.

Both the 164 LS and 164 Q , whilst maintaining the sporty and elegant design of the 164, benefit from the optimization of the aerodynamics which not only reduces the CX value, but also improves overall driving comfort. By observing the air pressure distribution diagrams, calculated on the longitudinal axis of both vehicles, it can be noted how vehicle performance is substantially alike despite the difference in design between the two models.
