The Gorgeous Brera
October 16th, 2006
The Alfa Romeo stand was perhaps the most visited one during the 2002 Geneva Motor Show. The Italian company had the Brera Concept on display, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro. The car was a low-slung fastback coupe with a pointed nose, gull-wing door, glass roof and a dramatic six-headlight front end. The rear shoulders were broad and crisply defined, giving the car a sleek yet muscular look.
The Brera was first planned to be just a show car, Alfa Romeo didn’t have any intention to put it to production. However, due to the overwhelming response from the general public and the fact that at that time the aging GTV and Spider needed replacements, the company decided to make the Brera.
