Alfa Romeo Brera 4.2 V8

[urbanmaser]

If Alfa Romeo had been brave enough to produce the original Brera concept car I would in all probability never have made the switch to Maserati. Tell me this video does not make your mouth water. Watch the second video after for how the Brera should have sounded.

And here is what the concept vs the actual car looks like:

Noticed one has rear passenger side glass and the others dont , are some 4 seater and some 2 seater

Shame to see such a great concept watered down so much...but I guess its all down to £££'s

I also loved the interiors of the concept, very old school but can't find a picture of them anymore.

Not quite sure about that interior a touch retro for me


regards loz

Thanks Matt! I like it old school

It looks very Spyker does that interior to me.

Bloody ****!!!! is Thunderbirds coming back

In fairness they kept the exterior of the car pretty close to the concept styling apart for the sleeker profile.

Interior not for me - very Spyker as someone said.

Nice on the outside though!!

Come on Alfa get your bloody act together and give us all a car we can drool over and I don't mean a limited edition at a price where we have to mortgage the wife and kids

I bet the guys in Alfa Cento Stille have draws of great concepts and innovative ideas, but Fiat has just pegeon holled them between Lancia and Maserati, so that is all them can produce.

Of course, MC12 was an Enzo to make Maserati look good, Alfa 8C was a Maserati to make Alfa look good, when do they give Lancia the Mito to make them look good.

I will say though I do like th new Giulietta....They can still style a good car...I mean would you chose a Ford Focus over it even though they are not the driver cars they used to be

Im a true Alfa Romeo lover and even though I have now moved on to Maserati I will always have a soft spot for them. Nobody else can make a V6 that sings like Alfa can

I agree.....its simply gorgeous...with the corporate lines/elegance....and that colour in the photo....superb....!!....as they said recently, if they can break into the fleet end of things in the rest of Europe.....Alfa Romeo will be looking up!

I think along with Maserati, Alfa Romeo still has certain 'romance, history' to their appeal....No other 2 car companies have this appeal and that includes Ferrari.
