Release of official pictures Alfa Romeo GTV, Brera
 

Dutch car magazine Autovisie has confirmed they (and therefore numerous other car magazines) already have the official pictures of Alfa's GTV successor (Brera?), which will be published next tuesday, 1 february.

Can't wait!!! :D

If it will look anything like the Brera it is bound to be a success. *crosses fingers*

It will. :D If you go to italiaspeed.com, on the 2nd News Page there's one pic of a almost undisguised GTV. Can't wait for this car. :D

FINALLY! i get to see if i move to europe or not.

Quite a nice present for my birthday :) ..but some new Zonda R pics would be appreciated even more :P

its about time the GTV get replaced, resale value already low, this will only make it even lower for me to buy

It's tuesday CET, so here are some first official pics of the Brera:

More pics will follow when I'll wake up next morning (probably somebody else will have opened a topic in the gallery section then ;) )


Some info:

It will be launched with 3 engines: a 185 hp 2.2 JTS, a 3.2 V6 with 260 horsies and a 200 hp 2.4 JTD diesel. A 6-speed manual and a 5-speed auto gearboxes will be available, as will be 4WD on some cars. The first life presentation for the public will be held at the Geneva motorshow and it will hit the Alfa showrooms in the second half of 2005.

:shock: Holy Shit! Thank you dude!! It's so beautiful. :D *drools*

^^^
I just added some extra info, so you can have some sweet dreams this night :P

Oh yeah, I will. :D Now I just have to start saving money... :D

Excellent! Thanks a lot, Wutputt!!! :P

It looks sensational! They've adapted the Brera looks onto this smaller car very well. Even the four exhausts are there. LOL I also really like it that they have decided to let the windscreen look like it runs up to the roof, like the Brera prototype also had. I'm curious to know whether it's a black roof or really glass. It's not really clear in the pictures. At the time of the protoype Giugiaro thought such a big glass surface with only a small bar across at the front wouldn't be feasible on a production car. Not because of safety (just as safe as a conventional roof), but because of the public's perception of it being less safe. I really hope Alfa Romeo have been bold here.

yup, im movin to europe! but do you have any hi-res pics? :?:

omg omg omg.... i NEED one in red right now, god thats beautiful!!! :mrgreen:

Well the roof really is glass, I don't know if it's standard or optional. Production will start somewhere in September, and besides the 2.2 JTS, 3.2 V6, and 2.4 JTD, there will be available a 3.0 JTD with 250 hp, and a biturbo 3.2 V6 with more than 300 hp later on (2007 probably). Also a Spider version will be launched later on.

As for extra pics: I don't think we'll have them today, cause they aren't releasing any. But I have some info how the interior would look like. It will resemble quite like the Alfa 157/158 (replacement of the 156) with two round dials as dashboard. In between those two will be a display and on the centre console you'll have 3 little gauges and round air vents.

High res you want?

How high? :D

Is it just me or does the Alfa Badge's aqua color seem more prominent?

Also the 3.2 V6 Biturbo was said to have 400hp, not 300.

^^^^
I said more than 300 hp ;)

I personally don't think it will have 400 hp, cause the gap with the second most powerful petrol engine (the NA 3.2) will be too big.

I dont care so long as the engine is an ALFA ENGINE not some POS Holden engine.

Wow high res is an understatement :shock: Great pics thanks a lot
The car is looking gorgeous. So glad they finally decided to produce it too... the concept has been around long enough (4 years?). I can't wait to see the high performance ones being tested

I was wondering about the colour of the badge as well. Hopefully its colour has been affected in the picture, because it doesn't look nearly as good as the normal badge.

I seriously do hope that is a pure alfa engine, not some GM whore engine which is made by holden :|

Wonder what autodelta have in their hats for this beast also :mrgreen:

check ur gmail stradale for some very hi-res pics. 8)

The only disappointing fact is that the 3.2l V6 was supposed to have 280hp otherwise it's great..They might still come up with a more powerful version though.

Got 'em. Thanks again! :D

Too bad it looks soo much like a hot hatch at the back end...the rest of the car is quite beautiful. Actually the whole car is beautiful, it just doesn't look like a sports car because of that rear end.

Wow! It's like a piece of rolling sculpture!
I'm a sucker for moonroofs so that glass roof looks absolutely amazing!!
Very aggressive looking....from the back it does look like a hatchback, other than that, very very sweet. :lol:

Some interior pics would be nice!

Alfa Romeo Brera 2006

The new Alfa Romeo Brera is to make its international public debut at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show in March, the same venue that was chosen for the first public appearance in 2002 of the original Giorgetto Giugiaro designed concept car, which went on to gain international acclaim.

Due to go on sale by year’s end, the new Alfa Romeo Brera encapsulates those characteristics most synonymous with the brand – sportiness and elegance – in a unique and exclusive style. The Brera’s shape and size, allied to the engineering and driveability of an Alfa Romeo, makes for a car which is beautiful.

Brera is a 2+2 of generous dimensions: 71.4 inches wide, 172.1 inch in length and 53.5 inches high, although the deeply tapered front and rear styling creates the impression of a very compact car. The interior has an ambience that is both intimate and sophisticated. This comes from the use of high quality materials and the introduction of some novel ideas such as the wide fixed glass roof that creates more natural interior light for passengers, adding to the sensation of spaciousness inside, while also giving the car a streamlined exterior appearance.

Available in three levels of trim, Brera also offers customers a choice of a 2.4 JTD 200 bhp turbodiesel power unit, and two petrol engines (185 bhp 2.2 JTS or 260 bhp 3.2) coupled to either an automatic transmission or a 6-speed manual gearbox depending on the version.

Together with all the features one expects in an Alfa Romeo, this new car delivers dynamic performance thanks to the use of quadrilateral front suspension and Multilink rear suspension. Comfort is enhanced by the integral Alfa Q4 traction control system installed in some versions. Brera offers electronic systems to monitor and control key dynamic parameters of braking and roadholding to deliver greater driving safety.

This then is the essence of the new Brera, a car that Alfa Romeo expects to create much interest, a coupe that promises both a great driving experience and comfort.

acs, just merged your topic with this one ;)

:wink: I must have missed it

It will look a lot like the interior of the upcoming replacement of the 156 (called 159?). Here are some good interior spypics of the 159:

Recent rumours indicate 159, but it could be called 157 aswell...
