Alfa Romeo 156

This Alfa Romeo 156 was never officially sold in China.


Over 20 years ago, it was brought from Europe by the wife of a foreign diplomat.


Back then, it roamed the streets of Shanghai’s former French Concession

— a bold streak of Italian red, elegant and defiant.

The Force Awakens

Episode 2:
The Force Awakens

After years in Hans’s collection,
 it sat quietly in a corner of the garage —
 faded paint, worn interior, out of step with the times.
 Then came Trace,
 and the car had a chance to be the main character once again.

This 156 was once part of Hans’s personal collection,
 even bearing the signature of Chinese F1 driver Zhou Guanyu.


But in the end, Hans chose to hand it over to Trace —
 because, as he said,
“He needs it more.”

From a dusty European classic to a machine reborn with racing soul,


Trace calls this moment:
“My Force Awakens.”

Long forgotten in a corner of Hans’s garage,

the Alfa Romeo 156 sat with fading paint and aging interior —
 until Trace arrived and brought it back to life.
Once a private collectible,
even bearing Zhou Guanyu's signature,

Hans ultimately passed it on to Trace,
saying:
“He needs it more than I do.”
