You'd better put your 'soul' up for bid on eBay now in order to raise the $200,000 it's gonna take to buy this baby when it hits the US in two years.....

8c Competizione: Alfa Romeo is banking that the $200,000-plus super car will pave the way for the 2010 or 2011 introduction of three volume models.

The first Alfa Romeo slated for U.S. sales will be the limited-edition 8c Competizione, a coupe developed on a shortened version of the platform used for the Maserati Coupe. The 8c Competizione coupe is to be unveiled at the Paris show in September; European sales start in late 2007 with U.S. sales the next year.

The 8c Spider convertible will debut at the 2007 Frankfurt show and go on sale in summer 2008; U.S. sales begin in 2009.

Power for both cars will come from a 400-hp-plus Maserati 4.2-liter V-8. Production will be limited to 500 units of each model, with the United States targeted for half of production.

it's not ugly... it's my personal preference.]]>Sep 12th 2006 12:34AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/11/paris-preview-alfa-romeo-8c-competitzione-hits-the-web/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/11/paris-preview-alfa-romeo-8c-competitzione-hits-the-web/Sep 12th 2006 1:25AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/11/paris-preview-alfa-romeo-8c-competitzione-hits-the-web/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/11/paris-preview-alfa-romeo-8c-competitzione-hits-the-web/Sep 12th 2006 1:43AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/11/paris-preview-alfa-romeo-8c-competitzione-hits-the-web/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/11/paris-preview-alfa-romeo-8c-competitzione-hits-the-web/Sep 12th 2006 2:10AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/11/paris-preview-alfa-romeo-8c-competitzione-hits-the-web/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/11/paris-preview-alfa-romeo-8c-competitzione-hits-the-web/
I have to agree on the whole parts bin design. Hasn't anyone learned from GM? Putting a generic new body on the same platform 500 times doesn't make people enthusiastic. Especially in the specialty markets. At the price we're being told... a Mosler 500 would walk all over this vehicle and have far more character for about 1/4 the price, while still being as exclusive. Why bother?]]>Sep 12th 2006 2:11AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/11/paris-preview-alfa-romeo-8c-competitzione-hits-the-web/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/11/paris-preview-alfa-romeo-8c-competitzione-hits-the-web/
The 8C is pretty much the definition of "sex on wheels". Wow, a true stunner. There would be no problem selling it twice the price of a Maserati Coupe. ]]>Sep 12th 2006 3:22AM
