The Alfa Romeo 184T is a Formula One car which was used by the Alfa Romeo team during the 1984 and 1985 Formula One seasons. The car, which was Mario Tollentino's first F1 design bore the colours of the team's major sponsor Benetton. The car, which had a 1.5 L V8 turbo engine, producing around 670 bhp, achieved a total of 11 points, all in 1984. The car's best result was at the 1984 Italian Grand Prix, where Riccardo Patrese came 3rd. Most of the car's retirements were due to the unreliability of the engine, or running out of fuel (in the mid-1980s, F1 cars were only allowed a certain amount of fuel to complete the race distance).
