Here we have a gorgeous & rare example of the multi-award winning 2006 Alfa Romeo Brera with the top-of-the-line Sky View trim.
The Alfa Romeo Brera is a mid-size sports car using the GM/Fiat Premium platform, manufactured by Pininfarina & marketed by Alfa Romeo as a 2+2 coupé. It was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign Giugiaro. It received positive feedback at the unveiling in Geneva & Alfa Romeo then announced production plans for 2005. The Brera was in production for 5 years before ending in late 2010, but they were never officially offered in North America. All variants adopted the e-Q2 electronic limited slip differential which used aluminum for various parts of the car to help reduce weight.
This Brera we have here was reportedly imported by the seller in April of 2022 from Japan when the odometer showed 124,100 km. The car reportedly went under immediate inspection by the seller; a retired long-time mechanic, alongside a long-time Alfa Romeo specialist mechanic. The drive shaft needed replacement, due to the unavailability of the part they opted to have it custom built. Many other parts listed below were reportedly replaced with no expense sparred. The vehicle is in reported excellent running shape. On August 7th, 2022 this Brera won 2nd place at the 2022 Italian Car Day at the Boyd Conservation Area show in Ontario against roughly 1000 other Italian cars including Ferrari's & Lamborghini's; without even getting a car wash before the show.
It is powered by the top of the line 3195cc 3.2L JTS V6 spinning all 4 wheels through its 6-speed manual transmission. The interior of the car shows to be in excellent condition with a very rare factory colour combination. The A/C reportedly blows ice cold. Since the photos & videos, the car was reportedly wet sanded, polished & put into temperature controlled storage with a cover. It will be sold with a clean Ontario ownership.
The Brera has won many awards. Before it was released the concept car was voted "Best of Show" by Autoweek magazine at the Geneva Motor Show, in 2006 it was named the most beautiful car in the world at the International Automobile Festival, in 2007 it won European Car of the Year in Japan, best European Automotive Design in 2006 & best coupe in Croatia.
This Brera was initially sold on our Fast Car Bids platform early January 2024, however the high bidder did not honour the purchase agreement - nothing to do with the vehicle itself. It is now available again: Round 2! The vehicle will be sold with the original 18" wheels or 17" wheels (buyers choice) at the reserve price, the 19" wheel kit shown in the photos will be available at extra cost post auction.
