ALL AUTOCARS

The Alfa Romeo Brera is a grand tourer produced by the Italian automaker Alfa Romeo since 2005. The Spider cabriolet has been produced since 2006. Both cars are manufactured by Pininfarina. The Brera originally appeared as a concept car at the 2002 Geneva Motor Show. It was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Italdesign Giugiaro. The concept version was powered with Maserati V8 engine producing around 400 PS (395 hp/294 kW). The Brera was widely acclaimed, and production plans were subsequently announced for 2005.

The Alfa Romeo Brera was introduced in production form at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show. It maintained the original's exterior appearance almost exactly but on a much smaller scale, becoming a mid-size coupe on the GM/Fiat Premium platform (shared with the Alfa Romeo 159), and designed to replace the outgoing GTV. A convertible Spider version of the Brera was also announced, to be launched shortly after the coupe and to replace the existing GTV-based Spider.
