The 8C Competizione is indubitably one of the nicest supercars in the world. Alfa Romeo succeeded in designing a supercar that does not look like a monster and pays tribute to the best of Italian design. But up until now have not known how much it costs. Now, thanks to Autoblog.com, I am sure that I cannot afford one: the 8C Competizione carries the impressive price tag of £108,000/€159,300/$220,000.
Alfa Romeo unveiled the 8C Competizione as a concept car at the 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show. The car was so acclaimed that the Italian carmaker decided to produce it at a limited volume of 500 units. The final car was launched at the latest Paris motor show. It inherits the Ferrari/Maserati-derived 4.7-litre V8, which has an output of 450 hp/443 bhp.
The last 50 models will be built exclusively for the American market in order to “celebrate” the Italian’s return.
After the 8C Competizione, expect to hear more in the future about its open-top derivative, the 8C Spider, which will cost around €180,000/$245,000/£120,000.
