At the 2003 Frankfurt Auto Show Alfa Romeo unveiled a stunning and evocative new concept car that drew heavily from the companys vast sporting heritage and tugged on the heartstrings of die-hard Alfisti around the world. The curvaceous two-seat coupe harkened back to a time when Alfas dominated sports car racing and even the name8C Competizionewas plucked directly from Alfa Romeos storied past. At the time Alfa enthusiasts were desperate for a new flagship from the Milanese firm. Since leaving the US market in 1995 Alfa concentrated its efforts on mid-market executive sedans and stylish coupes sharing a common front-drive platform. They were by many accounts upmarket Fiat products that while undoubtedly capable lacked the magic that endeared many to Alfa Romeo over the years. As soon as the covers came off the press and public begged Alfa to put the stunning 8C coupe into production. Amazingly the bosses at parent company Fiat were listening and in October Alfa unveiled an updated production version to the world at the Paris Salon.Thankfully Alfa Romeo engineers had free rein to develop the concept for the road and they certainly didnt hold back. They designed a bespoke steel chassis structure clothed in carbon fiber for strength and weight management. Alfa Romeos chief designer Wolfgang Egger created the sumptuous coke-bottle styling that was a perfect balance of modern design with retro touches. Up front sat the first version of the Ferrari-manufactured 4.7-liter 32-valve V8 that was later shared with Maserati. In classic Alfa tradition this magnificent engine drove a rear-mounted transaxle gearbox for optimal weight distribution. The six-speed paddle-actuated Superfast box was shared with the Ferrari 599 Fiorano delivering lightning-fast shifts across a wide array of settings. With 444 brake horsepower at 7000 rpm the Alfa 8C was undoubtedly rapid yet also luxuriously trimmed and visually stunning and fans likened it to Alfa Romeos reincarnation of the Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta.Alfa Romeo strictly limited 8C Competizione production to just 500 units worldwide. Of those 500 only 84 US-specification cars were made available through select Ferrari and Maserati dealers all of which got snapped up as soon as the car was announced and the 8C Competizione was an Instant Collectible. No more cars can enter the USA until 2033 as non-Federal examples are not eligible for import under current show and display regulations so when the rare opportunity to acquire an 8C presents itself swift action is recommended.This 2008 8C Competizione is one of justtwoNorth American cars delivered in this striking shade of Pearl Yellow and is one of just ten worldwide.
