Design
When Giorgetto Giugiaro unveiled an Alfa Romeo concept car at the 2002 Geneva Motor Show, the crowds around the stand were soon ten deep. Remarkably, Alfa Romeo took the stunning design through to production, debuting the Alfa Brera coupé in 2006. Low, sleek and bearing the characteristic Alfa Romeo ‘shield’ grille, the Alfa Brera represents a bold new era of Italian GT design.
Performance
The Alfa Brera 3.2, with its 260bhp V6 engine, available as a front-wheel drive or as an innovative Q4 Torsen four-wheel drive system, represents the ultimate in Alfa Romeo performance. But the Alfa Brera has two equally impressive stablemates. The smooth, high-revving 2.2 JTS hits 62mph in 8.6 seconds, compared to 6.8 seconds for the 3.2, and the fuel-efficient 2.4 JTDM diesel manages the same benchmark sprint in 7.9 seconds. An automatic gearbox is available on selected versions.
Features
As with every Alfa Romeo, the interior of the Alfa Brera is driver focused, with the instrument panel angled towards the driver. But passengers, too, will find the Alfa Brera a delightful place for grand touring. The optional panoramic glass roof with electrically operated blind admits plenty of light and the stylish through-console gives the cabin a cockpit-like ambience. Practicality is not forgotten, with rear seats that can be folded down to extend the luggage compartment from 300 to 610 litres.

Electronic Q2 Feature part 2
The fantastic Alfa Romeo update for 2008 on all Alfa Brera, Spider, 159 and 159 Sportwagon has great advantages:
Example 2: low grip road surfaces When driving on low grip surfaces, it often happens that the driven wheels experience different traction conditions. For example, when travelling on wet or snowy roads, the two wheels could be subjected to differences in grip. In these particular conditions, driving off or accelerating strongly could result in spinning of the wheel with the least traction, resulting in a significant reaction at the steering wheel, an inadequate drive off and the need to make steering corrections in order to maintain the intended course. What happens when the “E-Q2” system is present The negative effects are being countered thanks to the slight brake application to the wheel which is losing grip, as well as the progressive transferring of torque to the wheel with the most grip. This eases, for example, up hill starts, and travelling on slippery roads safer and more comfortable.
