Photoshoot, Alfa Brera 3,2

[komotar]

This is the car that really impressed me in both positive and negative ways...

Let's get the negative out of the way first....The 260 HP engine is just not enough for this car, I really don't know is it the weight, the 4wd or something else, but the accelleration sucks. The car (in really extreme situations) behaves like a heavy cow, which it is. But oin a normal fast ride, it grips well, the steering is comunicative and the car feels really well planted, it's just the really tight corners, where it lack's the tallent.

The sound is really something. It does start to lose the deep rumble as soon as you get over 4k rpm, but still, the sound, boy oh boy...

The looks? Well that's for every man to decite for it's self, but IMO it's one of the most beautifull cars on the marke, just don't look at it from the side. Otherwise, the ass is great, god knows the nose is something only god could create....The interior is alfa 159 but that really can't be a bdad thing....

Now all it needs is 2 turbos alfa promised and it'll be ready to take on the world....oh and it's actually quite practical, The boot is big enough, the back seats are not the best place to seat on, but it's a big coupe afterall

All in all, a very impressive car which I loved to take photos of....I't very photogenic....like all italian women 8)


Hope you like the pics

[sikx5]

Damn fine pictures mate! Very pro! That car is just pure eye-candy :mrgreen:

[salegosse]

Awesome. You always have good idea, and that wide angle is top.

[TopGearNL]

What lens do you use for the wide angles? :D

[komotar]

What lens do you use for the wide angles? :D

The wide angle lense is the canon EFS 10 - 22
and the tele lense is the EF 70 - 300

thx for the comments guys 8)


@MIHALS: well, yes you never know...she ahas a beautifull soul....at least it's a start :lol:

[TopGearNL]

Thanks 8)

[dingo]

Awesome, not much more to say really!! I love some of the ideas you have for photos. :good:

I actually find it a good looking car, I'd have one. :D

[P_Zero_Rosso]

I've driven the car myself and agree with your report that it feels too heavy and lacks performance. I found the sound however not so amazing compared to the 'real' Alfa V6 in earlier GTA models.

Your photo's are stunning. My favorites are the ones in the tight streets and the S shaped bridge.

[Mr.Vercetti]

^^^^

Oohh and I was wondering where have you been... :P

[komotar]

brilliant photos for a brilliant car. CHEERS!

hey man 8)

thx to everybody for the commnets 8)

[komotar]

Wow, amazing photography there. Sad to hear this car disappoints in handling and acceleration. I really love the looks.

Any chance for a full review under the reviews section?

hey, if I'll have time, I'll do it, but I'm really streching it, by taking time to upload the photos as it is... :wink:
