Alfa Romeo 8c Spider Roadster

I saw this on the cover of the Auto section of the Globe & Mail the other day and thought, "Wow, that's pretty nice!" And then I realized why I like it so much. Cover up the front of the car, and you practically have the same design as the Z4! Rip off artists! Nice car though. Too bad only available in Europe. :thumbsdown:

Gorgeous car. Loved it since i first saw the concept a couple of years back. Oh but which one to choose?? Coupe or Spider??

A couple of vids to wet our appetite.

And Alfa 8C Coupe, Ferrari 430 Scuderia and Maserati Granturismo drive/review. Just listen to those Italian V8s... The 8C sounds especially delicious.

Very sexy car. I thought I read somewhere that it would be coming Stateside sometime next year?

 

[ga41]

I think it is Rick. It will spearhead Alfa's return to the US

Really? That means we'll have access to it in Canada too! :dance2:

Wait a minute. How much does it cost?

 

[takedown8]

Just looked it up:

4.7L V8
450hp
0-60mph in <4.0s
Only 500 units being made

Estimated cost: $200,000 US

Yes 500 coupes and 500 spiders. All of the coupes where sold even before Alfa anounced it would start production and i believe most if not all of the spiders have been sold by now.
