Autodelta J4 3.2 C and Brera S 3.2 ‘Compressore’ revealed

At the MPH09 motor show in London, Autodelta launched bespoke versions of two Alfa Romeo models. Autodelta, which has London Park Royal headquarters, is known for creating bespoke, tuned versions of Alfa Romeos. For the MPH09, also known as the Prestige and Performance car show, it has created 159 and Brera models.

Based on the 159, the Autodelta J4 3.2 C features a range of styling and performance upgrades over the standard model. It is equipped with a 3.2-liter V6 engine that has been modified to produce 347bhp. However, new performance figures have yet to be released. Autodelta carried out an intensive R&D to improve the chassis and have a smooth, yet sporty ride.

Aside from remapping the ECU, the brakes and suspension were also modified. Autodelta’s changes to the Brera S build on the weight loss and power upgrade package already available from Prodrive. Autodelta managed to drop 100kg from the Brera. In addition, Autodelta added its own supercharger and intercooler to improve performance from the 347bhp V6 engine.

These upgrades also feature on the 159.The Autodelta Brera S 3.2 ‘Compressore’ also boasts a new limited-slip differential to improve in-gear performance and boost traction. Replacing Prodrive’s track suspension set-up is a custom Autodelta Sportline suspension, which is claimed to combine track and road qualities. Autodelta has yet to reveal pricing or sale dates.
