Content Summary :
Alfa Romeo—It is very seldom that Alfa Romeo creates a new car that fails to emerge as a motor show star, and the 2+2 Brera and 159 sedan, which made their world debuts, were no exceptions. The Brera, which replaces the GTV, was initially seen as a concept at Geneva two years ago. Designed by Giugiaro in col-laboration with the Alfa Romeo Styling Center, the car will be in production later this year. Alfa describes it as having “gen-erous” dimensions including 1830-mm (72.0-in) width, 4413-mm (173.7-in) length, and 1372-mm (54.0-in) height on a 2525-mm (99.4-in) wheelbase. Alfa’s traditional shield-type front grille has ele-ments of the marque’s 1950s designs, while its rear windshield has cues from the 1960s Giulietta Sprint. The Brera has folding rear seats, a facility which boosts luggage capacity from 236 to 546 L (8.3 to 19.3 ft 3 ). Engines include 2.2-L, 185-bhp (138-kW) and 3.2-L, 260-bhp (194-kW) gasoline and Alfa’s excellent 2.4-L JTD turbodiesel producing 200 hp (149 kW). The transmission at launch is a six-speed manual, with an auto following. Suspension is double wishbone front, multilink rear. Some versions will be of-fered with all-wheel drive.
