Overview of the Alfa Romeo Brera: acceleration to 100 km / h, a variety of engines

The debut of Alfa Romeo Brera took place in 2005. The first modification was presented in the body of the coupe and subsequently did not change. But this is not surprising. This model belongs to the sports class. Later a cabriolet was introduced. The Italians made every effort to realize all the necessary qualities in the model of the Brera sports car: acceleration to 100 km / h in less than 9 seconds, high level of aerodynamic properties, maneuverability, design and much more.

History of Alfa Romeo Brera

As for the history of the car, it was not all so smooth. Although the presentation in the Geneva Salon of the original version was successful in 2002, but the model was only launched in serial production after three years, that is, in 2005. Light restyling was already carried out in 2008. His results were presented in Paris.

For a relatively short time, the sports car received a high award and was recognized as the most beautiful car. Prizes for participating in the race were also repeatedly awarded to Brera. Acceleration to 100 km / h in some modifications took less than 7 seconds, which allowed to have small advantages over other models.

However, despite such merits, the car produced only 5 years. During this time, about 35 thousand copies were sold. In 2010, the model was completely removed from production, but sales of the remaining cars were still about one year.

The exterior of the sports car

"Alfa Romeo" Brera is a beautiful passenger car, perfect for residents of modern cities and megacities. Of course, it is worth noting that this car is designed for those who like speed and wants to stand out from the general flow. Elegant outlines and massive wheel arches - this is not all that impresses with the appearance of the car, descended from the Alfa Romeo conveyor. The front has a rather fierce outline, which harmoniously ends with the label of the manufacturer. In addition, this car is equipped with 3 pairs of lenses of light technology. The protruding hood saturates the car with powerful energy. Also the general idea completes the grace of the side lines. The presence of wide doors once again emphasizes the elegance of this car car. The back has sports contours and original optics.

Engines

In the European part of the world, "Brera" could be purchased in several modifications. Cars Alfa Romeo were equipped with motors with volumetric characteristics:

1. Unit 2.2 liters with a total power of 190 hp;
2. Installation of V6 on 3,2 l with the characteristics of 215 hp (160 kW) is completed with automatic and mechanics;
3. Turbodiesel engine series JTDM, designed for a volume of 2.4 liters, installed in the Brera, acceleration to 100 takes 7.9 seconds, a power factor of 210 hp.

Modification of cars with engines of 2.2 liters, running on diesel and gasoline, has a front-wheel drive. While the configuration with the V6 unit belongs to the class of all-wheel drive cars, and in addition it is equipped with the Torsen system.

Equipment 2008

Modification of cars in 2008 has undergone some changes. These innovations have affected the interior equipment and mechanical components. So, for example, the power unit 3,2 l V6 became available as front, and with a full drive. Because of this, the speed indicators increased significantly and reaching the 250 km / h mark was quite easy on the updated Brera, the acceleration to 100 for the mechanics ranged from 6.8 to 7 seconds, on the automatic - it was stable for 7 seconds. In the lineup of this series was introduced a differential with an overestimated internal resistance. Developers and designers managed to reduce the specific weight of the machine through the use of aluminum in production.

Changes in 2009

In 2009, the model line included a turbocharged engine running on gasoline. The volume of the engine was 1, 740 cubic meters. See It was equipped with a function of fuel injection, as well as phase variators acting on the intake and exhaust distribution shafts.

The creators of this concept pleased their potential buyers with a limited series of cars, created in tandem of two brands - Brera and Spider, released in close cooperation with the Italia Independent. The peculiarity of the machines of this brand are neutral coloration, reminiscent of titanium luster, equipment with 18-inch discs, as well as an overlay made of aluminum, located on the lid of the car's filler neck.

Even now Alfa Romeo Brera (the characteristics fully meet the requirements for representatives of the sports segment) is quite relevant and in demand.
