The 8C Spider represents a classic line, familiar to the Alfa Romeo brand through their heritage with past cars such as the Giulia TZ series and Tipo 33 Stradale.
The 8C Competizione was presented almost three years ago at the Frankfurt IAA in September 2003, however the muscular lines of the carbon fibre bodied thoroughbred manage to look as fresh as ever.
The choice to build the 8C Competizione is also due to Alfa Romeo’s decision to return to the FIA GT racing series next year, which obviously calls for a closed GT car.
