WHAT KIND OF DRIVING EXPERIENCE DOES THAT BUY YOU?
AN ALFA ROMEO WITH OVER 200bhp AND 400Nm OF TORQUE.

AND A CHOICE:
COUPE OR CONVERTIBLE.

There aren't many diesel engines that would feel suited to the responsive chassis of an Alfa Romeo sports car. But the Alfa Romeo 2.4 JTDM is no ordinary diesel engine. The 2.4-litre JTDM is a diesel engine forged by the passion and spirit of Alfa Romeo. Powerful, flexible and soulful, it has the performance you would expect of a company with a 98-year motorsport heritage. Yet lower fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions than a comparable petrol engine make it an intelligent choice for these cost- and environment-conscious times. There's evidence of the very latest thinking in diesel technology throughout the specification of the 2.4 JTDM. A five-cylinder, 20-valve engine, it features second-generation common-rail technology and a variable geometry turbocharger, along with a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) for the cleanest possible exhaust: thanks to the latter, it already meets the stringent particulate regulations envisaged for Euro 5.

Despite impressive performance credentials of 210bhp† and 400Nm of torque, it also delivers 41.5mpg (combined) and just 179 g/km CO₂. But 35 monthly payments of £299 plus VAT for business users, plus an initial deposit of £1,794 plus VAT, doesn’t just get you a superlative engine. You get the car to go with it. You can choose from the stunning Alfa Brera coupé or the drop-dead gorgeous Alfa Spider.

It's a tough choice. The good news? There is no wrong answer.

THE ALFA SPIDER

Alfa Romeo has a rich tradition of creating iconic convertible sports cars. And while the words diesel' and convertible' aren't often seen in the same sentence, in the case of the Alfa Spider 2.4 JTDM, it's a marriage made in heaven. The refined, torquey common-rail diesel gives a characterful growl when you floor the throttle and with a top speed of 144mph, plus 0-62mph acceleration of 8.4 seconds, you'll always have plenty of power in reserve.

Inside, you'll find leather sports seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, rear parking sensors and Blue&Me™ a high tech hands-free system with voice recognition. Hood down, you'll enjoy the scent of fresh air, thanks to the highly efficient Diesel Particulate Filter plus the luxury of knowing that in the Alfa Spider, you'll always be the centre of attention.

THE ALFA BRERA

When Giorgetto Giugiaro unveiled a concept coupé at the 2002 Geneva Motor Show, people admired the show car's stunning lines. But few expected ever to see one on the road. It was just a concept car, surely? Thanks to Alfa Romeo's boldness and vision, you can drive Giugiaro's show-stopper today without paying supercar prices. Inside, there's all the luxury and refinement of an executive saloon including leather sports seats and a fixed glass roof giving a contemporary appeal whilst delivering a light and airy interior. And with the 210bhp 2.4 JTDM engine, you can enjoy the seductive combination of high performance and fuel efficiency.

Thanks to its second-generation common-rail injection system, multiple injections of fuel during the cycle reduce noise and emissions, while improving flexibility and fuel efficiency. 0-62mph takes just 7.9 seconds and there's instant throttle response in any gear. The perfect powerplant for a 21st Century Alfa Romeo coupé.
