Sports car-loving car loan customers can now buy an ALFA ROMEO specifically designed to be driven on UK roads.
The Alfa Brera S is the result of a year of intensive suspension and chassis development by motorsport specialist Prodrive, and could tempt Car Finance customers looking for a new sports car for summer.
Alfa says production of the Brera S will be limited to just 500 individually numbered models, available with either 2.2 or 3.2-litre engines.
Alfa Romeo UK marketing director Nicholas Bernard said: "The Alfa Brera S isn't simply about brute force, it's about how the available power is transferred to the road and how the road surface is communicated back to the driver."
Prodrive's work on the car included the development of a unique suspension system to produce a car that "shrinks" around the driver and provides top-drawer handling.
The company works with vehicle manufacturers around the world to develop new car technology that will appeal to consumers.
The firm employs 1,000 people around the globe and has a UK base in Banbury, Oxfordshire.
