Alfa Romeo 8C Spyder
It's amazing what one car can do! Alfa Romeo debuted the stunning 8C Competitzione for model year 2007 and it began a new era for the brand. Inspiration from that design is tricking down to the rest of that lineup, helping to take Alfa Romeo in an entirely different direction. MiTo, upcoming 147 replacement the Milano - they all came after the 8C Competizione.
To me it was a brilliant move - what better way to herald it's return to the United States market and whet our appetites? And, not only that - it has immediately vaulted Alfa Romeo into the supercar category. An Alfa Romeo is on the list with Ferrari's and Lamborghinis as cars people want - who would have thought that?
When it came out, the 8C Competizione was just begging for a beautiful convertible variant, and Alfa Romeo was happy to oblige. Nice way to extend the production run too. The hardtop 8C Competizione got a production run limited to 500 units and the same is true for the 8C Spider. Out of 500 being produced, an incredibly small figure of only 35 vehicles is slated for our market.
So this car will be extremely rare here (and indeed everywhere). To get your hands on one, you'll have to cough up a good chunk of cash though - $299,000. Want more proof this car has done everything it was intended to do? Alfa Romeo will sell every single one of them no questions asked. The 8C line is an instant classic!
