Alfa Romeo

Design

‘I designed the Brera because Alfa Romeo will never go out of fashion’, stated Giorgetto Giugiaro, the car designer who dreamed up the model that now represents the state-of-the-art in the coupé field: a strong, compact car with mastery of the road and a strong personality. Launched as a concept car at Geneva in 2002, production was never planned, but the final car has changed very little. First and foremost, this appealing 2+2 model boasts generous dimensions: it is 1830 millimetres wide, 4413 mm long and 1372 mm high with a wheelbase of 2525 mm, although the sharply tapered front and rear make the model look very compact. This does not detract in any way from the elegance of the lines that run smoothly from front to back, to the integral bumpers and light clusters shaped like a converging wedge.

The exterior styling is full of classical references, modern interpretations of traditional Alfa styling cues, combined with contemporary details. The broad tail-lights and four exhaust pipes contribute to the impression of a powerful sports car, as do the wide tyres and sporty alloys.
