Special Alfa for UK roads

View Pictures

Alfa Romeo has enlisted the help of rally gurus Prodrive to develop its Brera S especially for roads in the UK.

Only 500 of the Italian coupes will be built for the UK and each one will have a numbered plaque.

The Brera S will come with re-rated springs and shock absorbers for its suspension.

This has been tuned by Prodrive to deliver the right balance of handling and comfort required for bumpy British roads.

The car also sits 10mm lower than a standard Brera and has unique 19in alloy wheels.

Alfa Romeo has lightened the whole Brera range, so the 3.2 V6 model is now weighs 100kg less than before.

The Brera S will be available with a 185bhp 2.2-litre petrol engine and a 3.2 V6 with 260bhp.

Buyers also get a new exhaust tailpipe that is styled into the same shape as the rear lights.

Inside, there are new sports seats covered in black leather with red stitching as standard for the V6 and this interior is an option for the 2.2-litre model.

Prices start at £24,950 for the Brera S 2.2 JTS and £28,450 for the 3.2 V6 model.
