The web talks about it:

,

In October 1978, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Lancia and Saab jointly agreed to each develop
an executive sedan based on their common Type Four platform ("Tipo 4" in Italian),
to finally compete with Ford Ford and Opel Rekord (Vauxhall Carlton) as well as others
premium sedans from BMW and Mercedes-Benz in the form of the 5 Series and
of Class E.

Project 164 began life as Project 156 (not to be confused with Alfa Romeo 156)
and was completed in 1981, then still under Alfa Romeo. A year later, this project has transformed
in 164 based on the type four platform. [4] This new model was designed by Enrico Fumia
from Pininfarina, [5] with a wedge shape which gave it a drag coefficient of Cd = 0.30.
The design would later influence the rest of the Alfa Romeo range
(starting in 1990 with the major redesign of the 33 and culminating with the 155, and see also
Pininfarina adapt it for the Peugeot 405 1987 and the Peugeot 605 sedan 1989).

Here is a timeline of the key stages in the development of this new vehicle:

The first tests of the dynamic elements of the 164 (engine and transmission) began in 1984,
where mules based on the then contemporary Giulietta were used. The characteristics
Initial handling skills were refined on the factory’s “Balocco” test track in Arese.
In 1985, the first pre-production 164s were put to the test on the road. Strongly disguised,
with lots of fake panels and even a fake nose design
(borrowing heavily from the 155 then also little developed) sporting four round headlights,
these vehicle mules were used to test the 164 for the grueling static and road test of
1 million kilometers required by design.
In 1986 and 1987, the first 150 164s underwent their pre-production testing. In terms of requests
of engineering, these exceeded all Alfas before, and by quite a large margin.
