The unique front-drive V6 Brera developed by Prodrive made for the best-driving Brera, by far…
The stock Brera 3.2 had natural charm, but was seemingly undecided if it’s a sports car or a luxury GT. Alfa Romeo GB’s marketing director at the time, Nicholas Bernard, held the same view and decided that it should be a sports car. Italy consented to an approach to, and the end result was a model unique to the UK, the Brera S. Its key changes were pretty substantial, ditching the four-wheel drive system and returning to front-drive, a configuration previously unavailable.
The V6 is the one. Ditching the four-wheel drive gubbins and adding those lovely rims contributes to a weight saving of almost 100kg compared to the standard V6 Brera, so the performance is notably crisper. All post-2008 Breras featured hollow anti-roll bars and aluminium uprights, which also saved weight.Certainly there’s an edge to the ride, but it’s a well-judged firmness beneath which is compliance and suppleness, so it’s not a car that gets crashy and harsh when the surface goes to pot.
