Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione
Alfa Romeo unveiled this 400bhp, RWD, would-be Porsche 911 rival at the 2003 Frankfurt motorshow. The name is derived from Alfa's rich racing heritage, 8C standing for the old 8 cyl racing cars and Competizione a reference to other past racing cars.
What do you guys think of this car? The pics are pretty big but worth the wait. Beautiful or what? Check out another Italian stunner, the gorgeous new Lancia Fulvia concept I hope both these beauties go into production |

Re: Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione
Stratos? hmm.. i dont see it. I do however see Aston Martin in the 8C's profile and a bit of TVR in the rear. The front is all Tipo 33 Stradale
This car to me is so much better looking than the Brera, i hope Alfa goes for something closer to this style for its top of the range sports car. btw, did you check out the Fulvia concept? Hot! The Italians are on a roll |

Any word on price? I bet it will be super expensive and probably never end up in the US.

Re: Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione
I dont know if it'll come to the States but i dont think it'll be super expensive. I should think it will substantially undercut the 911. I wouldnt buy it if it didnt...

Re: Re: Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione
Wonderfull, no more to say !
This car will have the V8 Maserati and compete with the 911 indeed. So don't expect it under 50 000 €/US$. But I think it'll be available in North America as Alfa Romeo is going to come back on this market arround 2009.

>Titutus : ça va la pub en signature
Cray : 400hp on this car will be far enough ! Look at a 3200GT !

Re: Re: Re: Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione
been a while stef!
400bhp is plenty, but let's hope it handles too. even the 4200GT can't live with a bmw 645ci (60 less bhp!!) on the twisties! |

Re: Re: Re: Re: Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione
Crayzay : my English friend
You know, I think that when we're talking of cars of this powerfull, the figures are not the most important. In this case, choose an other car at this price The comfort, the driving pleasure, the ambiance, etc. are so important when you're buying an exclusive GT as a 6 Series, a 8C, a 3200GT, an SL, an XK, etc. When you come in Paris, tell me !! could be funny a RDV between Automotiveforum users
