Thursday, July 30, 2009 Alfa Romeo Brera “Italia Independent” announced Posted by: Anthony Lim
Alfa Romeo has unveiled a special Brera edition called the Brera "Italia Independent." This will be a limited edition series of 900 units that will go on sale first in Europe and then in Japan and Australia, beginning from Sept in Italy.

The car made its public debut in Porto Cervo, in Sardinia, Italy, late last week, and it will remain on display throughout the summer in the seaside resort town, at YOU, a new sushi restaurant and lounge bar overlooking the town square and the harbour.

Dark as the night ...

The vehicle is a joint venture development between Alfa Romeo and Italia Independent, a brand that operates within several goods sectors to package Italian style and innovation for a global vision; the company works innovatively with new materials, such as Kevlar, DuPont’s Cordura, Gore-Tex or carbon, teamed with fine fabrics and materials such as linen, Loro Piana cashmere or cellulose acetate to obtain new slants on classic products.

The Brera “Italia Independent” is the first standard-production car to offer opaque paintwork (titanium) across its entire body. This exterior feature is further enhanced by new 18-inch alloy wheels with an opaque black turbine pattern and other items such as an aluminium fuel cap, red-painted brake calipers and a new "Italia Independent" logo on the car's rear.

Inside, carbon fibre inserts are to be found on both the dashboard and steering wheel, which is finished in black leather with red top-stitching. Brushed aluminium plates, personalised with an “Italia Independent” logo on the front seat head restraints, as well as an instrument panel with round red frames, add to the unique item list.

It's the little things that'll remind you it's special.

Completing the picture is more aluminium, for the pedals and foot-rest, and the seat trim and door panels are finished in the deepest black shade possible; Poltrona Frau black leather upholstery with red top-stitching is available as an option.

The car will be available in 185bhp 2.2 JTS or 260bhp 3.2 V6 form, both combined with 6-speed gearboxes (according to the engine, these may be manual, Selespeed or automatic Q-Tronic). The new version can also come with sophisticated Q4 four-wheel drive, which is exclusive to the 3.2 V6 version.
