2009 Alfa Romeo Brera

Specifications

(from Alfa Romeo Press Release) The dream becomes a reality

Designed by Giugiaro, the Alfa Brera immediately catches the eye with unmistakeable "Italian elegance" and its absolutely unique, incomparable style, offering sporting performance fully in keeping with Alfa Romeo tradition.  The soft, flowing lines and steeply tapering front and rear combine to give the car a very compact appearance.

It is also flush with intelligent solutions, such as the large glass roof that makes the cabin wonderfully bright and gives passengers a sensation of space, as well as giving the car an even sleeker look.

Interior

Superb comfort, practicality and attention to detail, for incredible driving pleasure.  A coupe designed to thrill.  The compact exterior gives way to a roomy interior, where passenger comfort is the watchword, thanks to the solutions used:  the instruments are turned towards the drive and grouped together logically.  The central unit houses the climate control system, radio, navigator, gear lever and ignition button.  The spacious luggage compartment has a capacity of 300 liters, rising to 610 when the rear seats are folded down.

Safety & Control

Road-holding and absolute safety in all conditions.  90 years of technology for an uncompromising driving pleasure.  To ensure the maximum control, the Alfa Brera adopts a sophisticated suspension setup with high double wishbones at the front and Multilink at the rear. The braking system has four discs with 4-channel ABS with EBD and Brake Assist.  The Alfa Brera also uses the most advanced electronic active safety devices available:  VDC for stability control, ASR to prevent wheel slip, MSR in the event of abrupt downshifts in low grip conditions, and Hill Holder for easier hill starts.

Engines

Innovative, powerful and elastic engines, capable of stirring the emotions and offering the utmost driving pleasure.

The Alfa Brera comes with a choice of two petrol engines and one diesel, all Euro 4 compliant.

With its 260 bhp, the new 3.2 JTS V6 is the most powerful engine in the entire Alfa Romeo range.  And for the first on this type of engine, it adopts the exclusive Twin Phaser system for varying the opening angle of the valves.  The 3.2 JTS V6 is also available with the 6-speed Q-Tronic automatic gearbox, for the very best sporting performance.
