ZV ise you dilithium crystals or warp drive, there’s still


something redolent of Star Trek about the specification sheet of the


Alfa Romeo Brera 3.2 V6. ‘Twin Phaser’ variable valve timing


sounds intriguing as does the ‘Jet Thrust Stoichiometric’ combustion system. Although i t ’s top speed of 149mph


may be a little shy of the Enterprise’s warp factor eighti i t ’s st ill pretty


; respectable for terrestrial transport. And ■ the fascia is a lot more elegant than the bank of flashing lights Lt Uhura had to put up with. There’s something of the Seventies


B y A N D Y E N R IG H T


about the Brera, but in the best possible way, the shape harking back to some of the most modern Alfa’s in living memory such as the GTV and the Alfasud Sprint. The long nose, tapered rear and rising


belt line are all classic Alfa coupe cues and the Brera shoulders its historical burden easily. It has probably the most charismatic powerplant this side of a BMW M Road­ ster and one glance under the bonnet will alert you to the fact that not all cars are created equal. Enthusiasts may well be thinking that 260bhp is an awful lot to direct through


V V Approved Used BMW.'


the front wheels of the car and they’d be right. Cars like the old GTV 3.2 had a real


problem putting their power down to the tarmac.. This version of the Brera answers that


criticism really rather neatly. Rather than rely on just the front


wheels, the Brera 3.2 V6 spreads the bur­ den amongst all four. , There is also a choice of manual or


QTRONIC gearboxes with this engine and for those who prefer a sportier drive there is the Brera S, specially developed for UK roads.. I t ’s properly quick too, getting to


60mph in a fraction over 6 seconds and running on to a top speed of 149mph.
