Alfa Romeo has teamed up with Italian fashion designer Italia Independent to launch a special-edition version of the Brera.
Just 900 examples of the Alfa Romeo Brera Italy Independent Special Edition will be built. An Alfa source told Autocar that the model is likely to be launched in the UK next year.

Styling changes over a standard Brera include matte black paint, 18-inch gloss black alloy wheels, red brake calipers and an aluminium fuel filler cap.
The new model gets black leather sports seats with red stitching, a leather sports steering wheel and aluminium pedals. The interior is also trimmed with materials including linen, Kevlar, carbonfibre, Alcantara and cashmere.
Power comes from either the 2.2-litre JTS unit or the 3.2-litre V6, which puts out 256bhp.
The car will be used on a tour of fashion boutiques across Europe, including in Rome, Zurich, Paris and London. The first unit was delivered last week to a founding member of Italia Independent.
A UK price for the model has yet to be revealed, but prospective buyers can take it for a virtual test drive on the Xbox’s Forza Motorsport 3 game.

Re: Alfa reveals special-edition Brera
Alfa are still plaqued by the rust bucket ghost of yesterday, decades of badly built cars and the Brera is not the exception, how many Brera's do you see in a month? not many i'll bet, this should tell Alfa something, it wasn't loved over here, it got royally butchered in the press and mags, and when you read what can go wrong would you really put your hard earned crust into one?,no what Alfa should do is build a replacement fron the ground up, after all who want's a Porsche 928 look-a-like?

Oooh touchy (holds up pretend handbag).
I'm sorry that I don't remember the original concept. Actually I'm not sorry at all, I couldn't give a toss. I used to remember such things when I was a teenager but then I went and got myself a life.
Yes I do know that. You seem to have an obsession with the Germans because you mention them in your posts even though nobody else has. I bet secretly you drive an Audi don't you. Go on, tell me you do.
