The Alfa Romeo 185T is a Formula One car that Alfa Romeo used during the 1985 season. The car was entered in 8 races, but without any success and suffering from poor reliability, the team returned to the previous year's car, the 184T, updated to 184TB specification.
This was the last Alfa Romeo Formula One car before their return with Sauber Engineering in 2019.
