The Alfa Romeo 158 (and its 159 derivative), is one of the most successful racing cars ever produced, taking 47 wins from 54 Grands Prix entered. Originally developed in 1937 for the pre-World War II voiturette (small car) racing series, it was eligible for the new Formula One series introduced following the war.

The legendary Juan Manuel Fangio drove the original Alfa Romeo 158 to many race wins. Before the war it was successful in the hands of drivers like Emilio Villoresi and Giuseppe Farina, and grew to legendary status in the Formula One series driven by Achille Varzi, Jean-Pierre Wimille and Luigi Fagioli, but it was at the hands of Farina and the legendary Juan Manuel Fangio that it had its most success, with Farina winning the Formula One World Championship in 1950 in a 158 and Fangio taking it in 1951 in a 159.
