The Alfa Romeo 183T is a Formula One car that was used by the Alfa Romeo team during the 1983 season. The car, with a newly-designed flat bottom, made its debut at the 1983 Brazilian Grand Prix and carried the livery of the team's main sponsor Marlboro . Basically the car was an updated version of the 182 with a V8 turbo engine fitted.[2] The 183T took 18 points from 29 entries; Andrea de Cesaris managed to score two second place finishes and also gained one fastest lap at Spa Francorchamps[3], a race that he started from the 2nd row and led over half the distance . Unlike the preceding Alfa Romeo F1 cars, the 183T chassis was not designed by Alfa Romeo's Autodelta instead Euroracing's chief engineer Gérard Ducarouge was the main designer.[4] Euroracing had been earlier successful in Formula 3 with Alfa Romeo engines.
