Is there any news on either of these models? I rang a local dealer recently and he said there was a couple of orders for each on his books (assuming they make it to production). Currently have a letter of intent for an AMV8 but am starting to wonder.... (see AM www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=116105&f=70&h=0 ) Any info would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Im sure the concept had gullwing doors, though I doubt the production model will, which is a great shame, but I must agree 400 bhp sounds well tasty! Some rough prices would be a help too, as my letter of intent with Aston for the AMV8 is looking dodgier by the minute (and would be non-existent if we did get the gullwings!)
Cheers for helping to clear that up.. I have to agree that the 4.2 V8 will be reserved for the vastly more exciting 8C, and the Brera will get the GM engines and lose the scissor doors (thanks for pointing that out, not gullwing!). I had never thought the 8C would be LHD only but this seems highly probable now you mention it, which will probably exclude it from my list of possibles which is a great pity. Of the two the 8C will run the Aston closest, though from the motor show pics the interior isnt a patch on the AMV8's, though as I said, cost is a major deciding factor. If the Brera does become the GTV replacement you would expect it to be priced in a similar bracket though I would pay another £5k for those doors! Lets hope we hear some more of either Alfa soon, and hopefully some prices/spec.

Looks like its morphing into a 2-door 156 rather than the striking and sexy coupe the concept was
My thoughts exactly. Been watching the developments and must say I am highly disappointed that the lovely Brera is being homogonised into the new GTV/156. Scissor doors gone, the only thing it looks like they are keeping is the lights... a terrible shame.
That only leaves the 8C now, only 1000 worldwide and all (possibly) LHD. Far nicer than the Brera mind, but I'm glad I still have my name down for the AMV8
