This is the first time that the British public will be able view the award-winning Alfa Brera sportscar in right hand drive format, before it goes on sale across the UK in early April. Styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro in collaboration with Alfa Romeo Centro Stile, the design of the new Brera remains faithful to the stunning coupe concept which was first shown to great acclaim at the 2002 Geneva International Motor Show. Giugiaro recalls, "When we premiered the car I referred to as ‘very sexy’, I didn’t know if it would ever go beyond the prototype stage. I’m proud to note that the Brera is so obviously an Italian product. Alfa Romeo will never go out of fashion."
