New Release Fresh off the production line

Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione

Submitted by S J Massey (Rating: 3)

First shown at the 2003 Paris Motor Show, the 8C got such a great response from the public that Alfa Romeo decided to produce the car. 4 years later, this gorgeous looking car makes it into produciton. The 8C oozes style from every curve in it well rounded body, and yes I am talking about the car and not Scarlett Johansson! It does not matter if it cannot keep up with Ferrari or Porcshe on the race track, the 8C belongs on the busy city street where men can gawk at the car and women can give it a jealous looking glance.

However the Alfa Romeo 8C is no slouch either with a 4.7 litre engine pumping out 450hp. A double wishbone suspension also means that corning with all that power will not be a problem. What will be a problem though, is that only 500 are being produced intially, even though there are orders for over 1000.
