Fresh from a discerning private collection, this is a truly stunning example of the limited edition Brera, developed in collaboration with Prodrive, one of the world most successful motorsport organisations.
Prodrive developed the car over a year, specifically optimising the handling for British roads.
Produced only for the UK market, production of the Brera S was limited to just 500 individually numbered models, of which it is estimated that around 175 were the 3. 2 litre V6 JTS engine variant, the “V6S”, the majority being the smaller 2. 2 litre JTS engine variant, referred to just as the “S”.
This makes the V6S not only rare, but the most sought after Brera of the entire model range.
Having been used only sparingly and dry stored in a temperature controlled environment by its last owner, as expected, there is no evidence of any corrosion on the car’s exterior. In addition, all black plastics and rubber trim parts are unbleached by the sun and all light lenses are crystal clear and unblemished.
The V6S shares the same engine as the standard 3. 2 V6 Q4. This is a direct injection engine with variable valve timing, producing 257 bhp and 237lbs/ ft.
In the V6S, Prodrive ditched the standard Brera’s heavy four-wheel drive system for a front-wheel drive setup, losing 100 kgs of weight in the process and providing the V6S with more spirited performance than the standard Q4.
Prodrive’s main goal was to seriously upgrade the Brera’s handling and to do that, the UK firm developed new springs with Eibach and dampers with Bilstein, which were tuned to achieve the desired ride/ handling balance and steering response, required by driving enthusiasts in the UK. At the same time, the suspension’s static geometry was also revised to optimize steering and handling, while the car’s height was lowered height 10mm. Prodrive also fitted the Brera V6S with new lightweight 19” alloy wheels saving 2 kgs over the standard 17” wheels, along with hollow anti-roll bars and aluminium suspension components from the Factory.
The driving experience is now up to doing justice to the jaw-dropping looks.
The car comes equipped with dual-zone automatic climate control with split temperature and distribution function, electric windows, car radio with audio CD player (6 speakers), rear parking sensor, front fog lights, cruise control and a front armrest with temperature controlled storage compartment.
With just over 18, 000 miles from new and presenting in fantastic condition inside and out, this Alfa Romeo Owner’s Club 2022 winner of “Best Modern”, comes with a FSH and its all-important original numbered and signed owner’s certificate.
With only two previous owners, this is quite possibly the finest low mileage/ low owner V6S available. As such, it offers a unique opportunity for any enthusiast looking for a “collector grade” example of this stunning modern classic.
