    Alfa Romeo Brera S by Prodrive

    Alfa announced something interesting today:

    Alfa Romeo has teamed up with world-leading motorsport specialist, Prodrive, to evolve the handling of the Alfa Brera coupe, specifically for the British market.

    Following a year’s intensive suspension development programme, including full sign-off from the engineering department in Italy, the result is a bespoke, British-honed, Alfa Brera S.

    According to Prodrive Project Leader, Peter Cambridge, the collaboration has “built on the existing model’s capabilities to deliver outstanding driver feedback and handling.”

    Production of the Alfa Brera S will be limited to 500 numbered cars that will include further enhancements to the exterior and interior of the car.

    Two existing petrol engines in standard specifications will power the special edition Alfa Brera S from launch next month. Prices and specifications will be revealed at launch on 19 May 2008.

    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    Apparently it will retain the standard engines and will be available with either of the petrol units (2200cc 185bhp or 3200cc 260bhp), with modifications concentrating on handling and apperance mainly. I guess it'll be the same aproach as the RX-8 PZ. Attached are a pair of spy pics.

    Sounds awesome. Looks good in black too especially with the Teledials on. One thing bothers me though. Isn't that the "S" form the Mini Cooper S
