See 8C. See 8C run. Run, 8C, run!

Alfa Romeo's gorgeous 8C Competizione – in full production form – is launching imminently at the Paris Motor Show. To hold you over and satiate your craving for beautiful Italian styling, we offer this video. Watch and enjoy the stunning 8C in motion – words just don't do it justice, anyway.

Stay tuned as we get more from Paris.

What a beautiful car, looks like something Ferrari would come up with like a modern Dino.

That is one of the sexiest things I have ever seen.

Does anyone else think the back end reminds them of a Corvette?

Does anyone else not have audio or is this just an eye candy piece?

Sweet! It's like a Corvette and a Viper had a baby grown in an Impreza test tube.

It's official. This is my new favorite lust-after car. There are lines of the Ferrari P4 in the front fenders and headlights, a reference to the old 50's Giulietta in the front lower grill roundels and the back is pure 1960's Zagato GTA or SZ. I am a long-time Alfa fan and I cannot wait for their return to the states. There is a ton of heritage in this car's design if you know the Alfa lineage.

Uh, yeah, both cars have taillights. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

God I love evocative design. I can't wait for these Italian drool-fests to start rolling down American streets. I'll take sensuous curves and tidy dimensions over a would-be GTP racer any day of the week and twice on Sunday. The fact that they can do it without resorting to overly retro cues (notwithstanding digi01's fine eye for historical detail) is what makes Italian design the pinacle of artistic achievment.

where does the number plate go? That will ruin the front end which i think looks like its melted into its present form and is a few inches too far out in my opinion. The back end looks like a corvette and i hope i am wrong but it looks like plastic.

I love the wheel arches and everything bar the front and rear. The door handles look very cute.

I read that Corvette modeled it's rear look from a Ferrari. I forgot which one. Anyone know?
