Default Alfa Brera S Announced

The Brera S came from one year of tinkering from the Prodrive crew, and they say the result is a flatter-handling sports coupe with excellent driver feedback. Most of the work was done on the suspension, which features custom Eibach springs and Bilstein dampers. As a result, the car sits 10 mm closer to the 8C Competizione-inspired, 19 inch wheels, and everything is pinned together by hollow anti-roll bars, to keep unsprung weight down.

The Prodrive influence is displayed throughout the car, in the form of logos on the newly-designed tailpipes, headrests, and mudflaps. Inside, most surfaces are given the red-stitching treatment, and drilled-aluminum pedals are fitted.

Only 500 will be made, and two motor options will be offered, a 185 bhp 2.2L and a 260 bhp 3.2L V6
