In addition to the new powerplants, the company is also introducing to the UK market the new limited edition trim level "Italia Independent" on both derivatives of the sports car.
Fiat Group CEO Sergio Marchionne said that Alfa Romeo will launch seven new models from 2010 to 2014 starting with the new Giulietta that will receive an extensive facelift in 2014.
The next newcomer from Alfa will be a replacement for its BMW 3-Series rivaling 159 that will be named Giulia.
Set to arrive in 2012, the Giulia will be based on an existing Fiat platform (most likely, a wider and longer version of the Guilietta's new platform). It will be offered in four-door sedan and station wagon variants and according to the plan, it will mark the return of the Alfa Romeo brand in the States.
The special edition Alfa Brera "Italia Independant", which will be produced in a limited run of 900 units for Europe, Japan and Australia, is available for order in Germany with prices starting from €29,700 for the 185HP 2.2-liter four-cylinder JTS model and from €38,850 for the 260HP 3.2-liter JTS V6 model that's offered in both front- and all-wheel drive versions.
Created in collaboration with domestic fashion house "Italia Independent", the limited run Brera coupe is about style. Special exterior touches include a Titanium opaque paintwork with matching 18-inch alloy wheels in a turbine pattern, red colored brake callipers and an aluminum fuel cap.
The 2+2 coupe's interior is decked out in carbon fiber trim and black leather upholstery with contrasting red seams. The brushed aluminium "Italia Independent" logos, pedals and foot rest complete the package.
The vehicle's standard equipment includes seven airbags, automatic dual zone climate control system, cruise control, fog lights and a high-end audio system.
Making its world debut alongside the Autodelta Alfa Romeo 159 J4 3.2 C at this weekend's MPH09 Motor Show in London is the yet another Autodelta model, the Brera 3.2 C Compressore which is based on the UK market Brera S. A recent project between Alfa Romeo UK and Prodrive, the limited edition Brera S 3.2 features many upgrades the most significant being a weight loss of 100 kg (220 pounds) thanks to the use of front-wheel drive rather than the standard Brera V6's Q4 all-wheel drive system and a sportier suspension.Autodelta's proposal completes the overall package by adding a supercharger to the mix as well as further improving handling.
The addition of Autodelta's supercharging kit with an intercooler boosts the 3.2-liter V6 engine's output from 260 bhp and 322 Nm to a more potent 352-horsepower and 435 Nm (320.8 lb-ft) of torque. No performance figures have been released yet for the Brera S 3.2 Compressore.
Traction is further improved by the fitting of Autodelta's bespoke mechanical limited slip differential (LSD) that operates in combination with the Brera's standard electronic Q2 system. According to the tuner, the mechanical LSD works in a more natural way as the Q2 only operates in more extreme driving scenarios by applying the brakes to transfer power to the required corner, offering better feedback to the driver.
Finally, the package includes Autodelta's height-adjustable Sportline suspension kit. The new coilover suspension features specific new spring rates and 40 different firmness adjustment settings that can adjusted by the driver.
