Latest: Alfa Romeo to produce 8C Spider in 2008
Following the initial confirmation from Alfa Romeo that the drop-dead-sell-my-soul-and-both-kidneys-gorgeous 8C Competizione was going into production, however limited, the temporarily satiated hearts and minds of Italian sportscar fans (and really, who isn't a fan of Italian sportscars?) turned to the next obvious question: what about its equally jaw-dropping open-aired sister, the 8C Spider? We've been patiently awaiting any indication from the Milanese automaker, and the latest reports suggest that Alfa will indeed produce a limited run of the rolling piece of alfresco art.
Italian automotive publication Quattroroute claims that the 8C Spider will begin rolling out of the factory at the end of next year. Like the instantly sold-out fixed-roof version, only 500 examples will be produced, with a corresponding price increase to €180,000.
So, seriously...anyone interested in buying a kidney?

eat your heart out Audi R8,

I love this car.

I'm with you on that statement. I'm still unable to understand the drama over the R8. It's not really breaking any new ground and the looks are typical Audi..sorta like a TT on helium. Anywho, this car is georgous and AR knows how to sculpt a body.

I haven't picked my jaw up off of the floor yet, because this is just how gorgeous this car is. I've got a kidney I'd like to sell, too!
