2002 Alfa Romeo Brera Concept news, pictures, and information

The new Alfa Romeo Brera is to make its international public debut at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show in March, the same venue that was chosen for the first public appearance in 2002 of the original Giorgetto Giugiaro designed concept car, which went on to gain international acclaim.

Due to go on sale by year's end, the new Alfa Romeo Brera encapsulates those characteristics most synonymous wîth the brand – sportiness and elegance – in a unique and exclusive style. The Brera's shape and size, allied to the engineering and driveability of an Alfa Romeo, makes for a car which is beautiful.

Brera is a 2+2 of generous dimensions: 71.4 inches wide, 172.1 inch in length and 53.5 inches high, although the deeply tapered front and rear styling creates the impression of a very compact car. The interior has an ambience that is both intimate and sophisticated. This comes from the use of high quality materials and the introduction of some novel ideas such as the wide fixed glass roof that creates more natural interior light for passengers, adding to the sensation of spaciousness inside, while also giving the car a streamlined exterior appearance.

Available in three levels of trim, Brera also offers customers a choice of a 2.4 JTD 200 bhp turbodiesel power unit, and two petrol engines (185 bhp 2.2 JTS or 260 bhp 3.2) coupled to either an automatic transmission or a 6-speed manual gearbox depending on the version.

Together wîth all the features one expects in an Alfa Romeo, this new car delivers dynamic performance thanks to the use of quadrilateral front suspension and Multilink rear suspension. Comfort is enhanced by the integral Alfa Q4 traction control system installed in some versions. Brera offers electronic systems to monitor and control key dynamic parameters of braking and roadholding to deliver greater driving safety.

This then is the essence of the new Brera, a car that Alfa Romeo expects to create much interest, a coupe that promises both a great driving experience and comfort.
