Alfa wins Autocar award

Alfa has won The Design Award for its new Brera sportscar, presented by Autocar, the leading UK motoring magazine, in its Annual Awards. The prestigious prize, part of Autocar's annual tribute to outstanding achievements of the automotive industry and the people who work in it, was presented to the Brera's designer, Giorgetto Giugiaro, together with head of Centro Stile Alfa Romeo, Wolfgang Egger.

Commenting on its choice, Autocar describes the new Brera as "an imposing coupe with rare grace. It creates impact through the quality of its lines and proportions rather than visual gimmicks. The style is carried through into the cabin where a sporting mix of materials and shapes creates a real driver-focused feel. It's the sort of car you just want to get in and drive".

The Brera is expected to go on sale in Australia/New Zealand in the middle of 2006.
