Alfa Romeo

Settle into the driving seat of the Brera S, and the Alfa Romeo sporting DNA is unmistakable. And yet even by Alfa Romeo’s high standards, the Brera S promises an exclusive and exceptional driving experience. For the specification of the Brera S interior, Alfa Romeo’s Centro Stile studios aimed to create a cockpit with a bespoke ambience, emphasising traditional Alfa Romeo interior design cues such as cowled instruments and three-spoke sports steering wheel through the subtle use of materials, notably black leather and contrast red stitching. Not only are the supportive sports seats upholstered in soft black Italian Frau® leather with contrast red stitching, the same material is also tailored to cover the fascia, door panels, steering wheel and gearlever. (The Italian Frau® black leather fascia and door waist rail with red contrast stitching is standard on the Alfa Brera S 3.2, and a cost option for the 2.2-litre version.)

As a reminder that you’re driving an exclusive sports car, each seat headrest recess houses a limited edition Brera S etched aluminium plate, featuring the flags of Italy and Britain as a reminder of the ‘Best of Britain, best of Italy’ inspiration for the car. Meanwhile the centre console and instruments are faced in a dark aluminium finish. Drilled aluminium sports pedals provide the finishing touch.

The Brera caused a sensation when Giorgetto Giugiaro unveiled his design concept at the 2002 Geneva Motor Show, and by staying true to the design concept Alfa Romeo turned a one-off showcar into a stunning production coupé. The changes to the Alfa Brera S therefore focused on enhancing, not reinventing, Alfa’s coupé flagship. The Brera S is offered in three distinctively Alfa exterior finishes: Alfa Red, Carbonio Black and Touring Grey. Alloy wheels are unique to this model and are inspired by the design of the Alfa 8C Competizione wheels. Discreet Prodrive logos can be found on the front stone deflector and the unique design tailpipe trims.

From the Italian Frau® black leather sports seats, steering wheel and dashboard, with their red contrast stitching, to the drilled aluminium sports pedals with their Alfa Romeo etched logos, the interior of the Alfa Brera S is packed with beautifully crafted details. In true Alfa Romeo tradition, the dials and driving instruments are angled towards the driver to create a monoposto sporting ambience. Engraved headrest plaques in brushed aluminium are a subtle reminder that Brera S ownership is a rare pleasure.

The Alfa Brera S is offered in three exterior colours: Alfa Red, Carbonio Black and Touring Grey. In each case, the interior is finished in Italian Frau® black leather, with red contrast stitching. The Brera S can also be ordered in the Alfa 8C Competizione Red as a bespoke finish; prices for this option are available on application via your Alfa Romeo dealer.

Not only is the Alfa Brera S a highly desirable limited edition, it also represents outstanding value for money. The uprated and tuned suspension, model specific wheels, exhaust, unique interior and exterior design features add a mere £1,450 to the standard car’s list price.
