Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione

The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione is a front-engined sports car that Alfa Romeo sold between 2007 and 2010. It first appeared as a styling concept at the 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show, designed by Wolfgang Egger and Daniele Gaglione to echo the look of the marque in the 1950s and 1960s. The 8C in the name refers to the eight cylinders of the engine, and Competizione recalls the 1948 6C 2500 Competizione that raced the Mille Miglia. Maserati engineers prepared the production version, which drew on components from both Maserati and Ferrari. Of more than 1,400 orders announced, 500 cars were delivered as the coupe and another 329 as the 8C Spider, for 829 in total.
