Very, very appealing. The Brera was criminally underdeveloped, and this is the sort of thing the factory should have produced. When I bought my 4200, I very close to putting a rotrex on my 3.2 GTV.... it was either buy the 4200 and sell the GTV, or develop the GTV, the money would have been very similar... still don’t know I’d i made the right decision lol. Only downside is that the Berra doesn’t have the Busso engine, it’s slightly bastardised in that respect. And this, imho, is about 30% overvalued. Looks better at 12k to me

Veloces always have cars up for ridiculous money. Whether they sell them at that is another matter.
Nice car all the same.

I had a Brera S Prodrive and I loved it , It was just under powered . I sold it to buy my 4200. If it had that performance I would have kept it . Stunning looking car and go more attention on the dock at Dover than alot of the Maseratis that I was with .

Ironically the prototype actually had the same Ferrari engine the 4200 has, from what I remember...

A standard Brera 3.2 suffers from understeer even with 4WD due to the weight on the front axle, no idea how 350BHP through front wheels only (Brera S was not 4WD) is going to handle.

The standard Prodrive was surprisingly neutral. A wee bit more nose heavy than the 2.2 but the four pot rarely taxed the chassis so felt a bit meh.

Personally I’d hunt one of the 68 Brera 1750 TBis. Lighter car, revised steering so it now feels like an Alfa rather than an Audi etc.

Agree that 1750 TBi engine is a jewel although it can be very thirsty, mate has a 159 SW version and on a spirited run through the Welsh hills against my 4200 Spyder I got more to the gallon than he did.

Couldn’t agree more. I had the same model. Despite the work Prodrive did to the chassis, along with the strict diet. Woefully underpowered. I enjoyed looking at it more than I did driving it. Suffice to say I didn’t keep it long.

Em, it's very nice but £18k for a Brera seems wishful thinking. I love an Alfa but let's be honest....

 

[Vampyrebat]

The prototype was so much nicer.........It was stunning!!

 

[CatmanV2]

I was very much advised not to buy a Brera. Sounds like Felice was right!

I have no problem hustling mine through corners and is no worse than the 4 busso 916s I've had, 2 spiders and 2 GTVs.

The 3.2 Prodrive is the only Brera worth having but not at that price..
