Paris 2008: Alfa Romeo Brera Ti
by Noah Joseph on Oct 5th 2008 at 8:07PM 
Standing in front of the Alfa Romeo display in Paris, we found ourselves in a bit of a conundrum. The big news from Alfa was, of course, the official worldwide show debut of the MiTo, and the stand was rife with them. But we've already brought you galleries of photos of the MiTo, and even flew all the way over to Italy to drive it. (For you, of course.) But a European car show wouldn't be a European car show without some shots of an Alfa Romeo. Fortunately the Italians were kind enough to oblige with a new, hotter version of the impossibly gorgeous Brera.
The Brera Ti picks up some of the improvements developed by British rally and racing concern Prodrive (yes, that Prodrive, the ones who field Aston Martin in Le Mans, Subaru in the WRC and brought Honda back into F1). The Ti gets a stiffened suspension, 8C-style 19-inch anthracite alloys and Brembo brakes, pumping up the go to accompany all that show which you can check out in the gallery below.

Who takes these photos ?
Not one gives a normal, undistorted view of the car.

I'm with you, this doesn't even look DSLR in quality. Note to AB, grab something with enough dynamic range to actually shoot red and some sort of prime lens if you're not going to hold whatever kit lens you were using steady.

AB usually has great photos. Give 'em some credit. Usually it's pretty hard to get a nice pic at a car show due to the massive crowds.

I've been to many car shows from L.A. to Paris and all you have to do is ask for people to give you a little room while you take a photo. People are usually happy to do so.
The amount of distortion in the photos is unnecessary and the color is horrific.
It's an exceptional car, the effort was lazy at best.
It's such a beautiful car it doesn't make sense to be l

That car is sick! And the interior is sweet too.

Leave it to the Italians to spend as much attention on the interior as the exterior. What is that interior pattern called anyway? Not sure about the wheels though.

I don't think "ti" is the correct symbol for carbon fiber. I love this car, except for the unpainted carbon fiber in he cabin. 1995 is here and gone. It's time to stop doing that.

Isn't this just a Brera S? Aside from the different name and availability outside the UK, of course.

It would be great if Alfa started selling in the U.S. again. You can't tell me people won't buy this hotness.

Seriously, Alfa really do designs some of the best looking cars in all of history, and really, do you care if it can't get to 62 as fast as some of its competitors? Not me
I'm waiting for the Alfa press shots for my wallpaper :)

I ask it let them help.
With respect Mónika Sály
