The Appeal
As part of a collaboration with renowned rally-car builder and specialist tuner, Prodrive, Alfa Romeo produced 500 ‘S’ variants of the Giugiaro designed Brera. Only 250 of those featured Alfa’s V6 drivetrain.
Here we have a very rare and collectible V6 ‘S’ model, presented in very good, original condition. With numerous enhancements over the standard model, this is a superb opportunity to acquire one of the rarest performance cars of the 2000s.

Summary
Car enthusiasts generally love an Alfa, mainly because few marques produce cars with the flair and personality of the Italian manufacturer.
The Brera is certainly one of the best looking cars they’ve made in recent decades, and in V6 ‘S’ specification, it drives as well as it looks. Add to that the fact that this is a very rare car, with only 250 having been made, and that it presents in very good condition for its age, and you have something very special. Collectible, brilliant to drive and stunning to look at – it would be a crime to let this lovely Alfa slip through your fingers.
