Cant see why they dont offer a range of options right up to the 4.7 N/a . cant be that difficult to alter the engine mounts and the drive trains, they talk in the spec as if 0-60 in 8 secs is something good , beggars belief from a racing heritage

Agree Loz...the car looks faster than it is. ..... It needs 300bhp...

hmmmmm

agree in principle but it always makes me squirm to imagine anything over180 bhp going through the front wheels. i know there are some trick diffs about that i have never experianced but still can't imagine wanting to be pulled by huge horses as opposed to being pushed.

Too little, too late for the Brera I feel.

Aren't they 4 wheel drive which is why they are so heavy...should have been rear..Missed a chance there.

Autodelta seem to defy the laws regarding bhp and front wheel drive

They had a Brera at the Autosport show this year...It was stunning and actually realy wanted it...I had an Autodelta 4 pipe exhaust on my GTV...I do like their products.

Autodelata can kick well over 300 bhp from the Brera 0 to 60 in 5ish

Sounds yummy......

That's what fat Brenda needs, but how much for all the toys Peter?

I'm sure I read somewhere ontop of a new car with the conversion is about 40k...

Strooth! Thats a bit steep.

How about fitting the 4200 engine to a Brenda, that would be awesome!

Drove Brenda at launch. Idiots booked a diesel for the test drives.

Lovable enough, but does't go, stop or steer very well. Looked nice though, in rear view mirror of my 166 as I drove off.

Pig in Knickers.

Any mainstream carmaker has to get the entry level model right. If it needs the full body kit / biggest engine / all the toys to be any good then car is basically flawed.

Breara 'S'...I know I goign on but this is the car it should have been at launch
