[. . . ] The 260-horsepower 3. 2 JTS is the most powerful in the range, using the exclusive Twin Phaser system to vary the phase angle of the valves. Combined with rear-wheel drive, it powers the car to a top speed of 250 km/h. There is also a four-wheel drive Q4 version, with a 6-speed Q-Tronic gearbox ­ a high-tech, high-performance solution that allows drivers to switch between manual and automatic transmission. The equally sophisticated four-cylinder, twin camshaft, 16-valve 185-horsepower 2. 2 JTS engine incorporates a phase changer offering high torque at low engine speeds.

The range also includes the 2. 4 JTDM diesel engine, with a particulate filter as standard. Available in 210 or 200-horsepower versions with Q-Tronic automatic transmission, this combines power with total reliability ­ and maximum driving pleasure. 11 Control Alfa Romeo has always been synonymous with driving pleasure, roadholding and maximum safety, particularly during emergency manoeuvres. The Alfa Brera takes these attributes to new heights, with an uncompromising design that features advanced high quadrilateral front suspension ­ an innovation derived from motor racing ­ and multi-link rear suspension. The steering is the most direct in its class, with just two and a quarter turns from lock to lock, for instant responses. The braking system has aluminium monobloc callipers, and discs on all four wheels (all ventilated on the 3. 2 JTS), ABS and electronic brake force distribution. For maximum safety, the Brera also comes with advanced electronic driver aids such as the VDC electronic stability programme. Electronic Q2 All Alfa Brera models are fitted as standard with the advanced Electronic Q2 electronic differential. This enables VDC to use the car's braking system to imitate the effect of a limited-slip differential, constantly balancing the distribution of engine torque between the two front wheels to suit the driving conditions and the road surface. In particular, when accelerating through corners, it applies braking to the front inside wheel, so more of the engine torque goes to the outside wheel, which has more grip. At the heart of this system is Twin Diff mechanical central differential (a development of the Torsen C system), which distributes the engine torque between the front and rear wheels depending on the road conditions. In normal driving, the Q4 slightly favours the rear axle, with 57 percent of available torque ­ giving handling characteristics which will delight committed sports-car drivers. 13 Entertainment and information The Alfa Brera has revolutionised in-car communication and entertainment with Blue&MeTM and Blue&MeTMNAV. Blue&MeTM is a hands-free system based on Windows Mobile® technology with speech recognition. [. . . ] There's four-channel ABS with EBD and Brake Assist, VDC to ensure vehicle stability, ASR to limit wheelspin on loose surfaces, MSR to prevent wheel lock when rapidly downshifting in slippery conditions, and Hill Holder for easier hill starts. To protect passengers, the body is designed for maximum impact absorption. There are also seven airbags as standard: a pair of two-stage bags in the front, side and window bags which also protect the rear seats, and new knee airbags for the driver. 19 21 Frau ® Leather Poltrona Frau ® Pieno Fiore Leather Body Colours 451 Black 902 910 Black 203 Montecarlo Blue 565 Alfa Silver 585 Touring Grey 491 Red 931 Natural Metallic opt 210 586 Misano Blue 588 Gold 876 Carbonio Black 495 Natural 941 Red Solid Paint Sports Cloth 296 Ghiaccio White 601 Black Special Paint opt 5B2 289 Alfa Red 173 Black [. . . ]
