Making its debut at the
2002 Geneva Motor Show is this exciting new Alfa Romeo-badged concept car
from ItalDesign. Although a concept car, the Brera, is designed
and engineered to standards that make production a viable proposition.
It has been designed to a current
brief for a rear wheel drive GT car based on a proposed Ferrari developed
all new Alfa Romeo 4-litre plus V8 powerplant. It is based on a Maserati
chassis and fitted with a Ferrari 360 Modena sourced V8 engine. The front-mounted
engine has been located towards the centre of the car for optimum weight
distribution. ItalDesign have aimed to build on the classic 2+2 GT concept
to come up with a design that incorporates all the latest design techniques
and technology, including incorporating carbon-fibre bodywork. |
