Thousands of British car enthusiasts, together with a host
of overseas visitors, are in for a special treat later this
month as Alfa Romeo, a sponsor of the Goodwood Festival of
Speed, (24-26 June), is bringing its exciting new sportscar,
the eagerly anticipated Alfa Romeo Brera, to Sussex for the
event.
The Brera made its international public debut to a rapturous
reception at the Geneva Motor Show in March, and is now
poised to take an active part in the Goodwood Festival on
the weekend of 24-26 June. It heads a star-studded cast of
classic Alfa Romeos from the Italian sporting car
manufacturer's museum at Arese, near Milan, many of which
have never been seen in the United Kingdom before, and many
also participating in the annual British hillclimb classic.
The Alfa Romeo line-up includes the incomparable P2;
Fangio’s Grand Prix Championship winning 159 Alfetta; the 8C
2.9 Le Mans; a 33 Le Mans; a 1750 Gran Sport; a 6C 2300B; a
24hp; a Sportiva 2000 and a Disco Volante Coupe and Spider.

Alfa Romeo will be capping this impressively strong showing
at the Festival with the arrival of its brand new Alfa 159
sports saloon, which makes its international media debut in
Bavaria next week, and which will be on static display at
Goodwood.
The Alfa Romeo 159 has been created using all the company’s
long, acknowledged experience in the production of
prestigious sports saloons, and heralds a new generation of
cars from Alfa Romeo. The 159 project is the result of
innovative design methodologies developed by an
international team that has succeeded in combining a number
of formerly irreconcilable targets.
These include a highly entertaining driving experience,
outstanding performance and distinctive, unmistakably
Italian styling – combined with outstanding levels of
safety, comfort and durability; all achieved without
compromise. The ingredients include a completely new chassis
with new suspension, and a new generation of engines and
gearboxes.
This exciting new model adds real lustre to the remarkable
history of sporty and dynamic Alfa Romeo saloons, and is
aimed at becoming the new benchmark in its segment. The Alfa
Romeo 159 is expected to go on sale across the UK at the end
of the year, with the Brera sportscar following in 2006.
