| A carbon-fibre monocoque
utilising aluminium bonded with the latest manufacturing techniques, it
features integrated front bumpers and a long bonnet which allows the engine
to be set further back in classic GT-style. Laid out as a 2+2, the back
seats are only really suitable for children, the cabin is finished in highest
quality red leather.
The car swoops up from the
nose, flowing back to drop off at the rear, its 4.38m length, 1.89m width
and 1.29m putting it in the larger GT category. The bonnet aperture slots
in between the swage lines which flow outwards from the front grille heart
in current Alfa mould. The rear of the Brera draws heavily from current
Alfa 147/156 styling cues, while the rear window draws from the classic
Giulietta Sprint.
The doors represent the only
departure from conventional methods. Fitted with fixed aperture glass,
they open scissor-fashion using a production ready Italdesign patented
technique which involved a rotary knob and keeps them almost flush with
the car's body.
There is no conventional
boot lid, instead the storage area is accessed by raising the rear window
and high level spoiler ( which incorporates the stop light ).
A pointer to the car's power
are the two grab handles available for the passenger, one located on the
central tunnel, the other on the door frame. |
