Alfa Romeo Brera and Spider (939)

The Alfa Romeo Brera and the Alfa Romeo Spider, Type 939, were sports cars and grand tourers built on the GM/Fiat Premium platform, manufactured by Pininfarina and marketed by Alfa Romeo as a 2+2 coupe and a roadster. The Brera began as a concept shown at the 2002 Geneva Motor Show, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign Giugiaro with a Maserati V8 of around 400 PS, and Giugiaro won the Compasso d Oro in 2004 for it. The production Brera appeared at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show to replace the GTV, sharing its platform with the Alfa Romeo 159, and the Spider followed to replace the GTV based Spider. The name comes from the Brera district of Milan. Production ended in November 2010 after 21,786 Breras and 12,488 Spiders, with inventory remaining into 2011.
