The last transformation from the German specialists for Italian cars, Novitec is this Alfa Romeo Brera. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro in collaboration with Alfa Romeo Centro Stile, and built by Pininfarina, the road-going Alfa Brera remains remarkably true to the stunning, multi award winning coupe concept .It combines superlative engineering with outstanding performance, and handling characteristics appropriate to the pedigree of one of the world’s most famous sporting Marques.

Engine
As a base model they use the diesel version 2.4 JTS with 200 hp. Mated to an F40 6-speed manual transmission and Alfa Romeo’s Q4 permanent four-wheel drive system, the 3.2 liter JTS V6 engine will accelerate the new Alfa Brera from 0-62 mph in 6.8 seconds and on to a top speed of 149 mph. This has adapted this technology to the requirements of a sporting car – whilst adopting the stratified charge method to reduce fuel consumption in a limited speed band close to idling.

Styling
The generous dimensions of the new Brera are elegantly compacted through sharp front and rear bodywork tapering, and the exterior is rich in styling cues from Alfa Romeo’s peerless tradition of sporting coupes. The car now uses a reliable suspension by mounting new sport shock absorbers. The exterior has new front and rear spoilers while the interior received new sport accessories

Continuing a design trend prevalent in the recent Alfa Romeo model range, Alfa shield with horizontal chrome bars dominates the front of the Brera. Extending almost full height, the grille bisects an upper air intake housing purposeful, three-lamp headlight clusters. Once again, the number plate is offset to the left; a style signature echoing past classics, and unique to Alfa Romeo.

Brera will become available in a choice of 10 colors at launch, including one solid, one special and eight metallic finishes.

Interior
As with all Alfa Romeos, the interior of the new 2+2 Brera coupe is focused on the driver’s immediate surroundings, which have been designed with an emphasis on ergonomic functionality.

The Alfa Brera’s titanium effect or brushed aluminum faced centre console houses a new, electronic key-activated engine start button, the sophisticated, Dual Zone climate controls and a stereo radio/CD player – all within easy operational reach of the driver.

Optional Bose Sound System
The Bose sound system, developed for Alfa Romeo by America’s leading acoustic Hi-Fi company, offers peerless acoustic sophistication, boasting exceptional listening quality for each passenger under all conditions.

The 570 watt system comprises a radio/CD player with MP3 compatibility and eight loudspeakers, including a subwoofer built into the luggage compartment with its own 6-channel, 200 watt, and digital amplifier for the reproduction of the lowest frequencies. An integrated signal processor automatically adjusts base tones so that they remain natural at any system volume.
