The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione is considered the sexiest car on the planet, this model is the first Sports Italian manufacturer Alfa Romeo, beautiful lines are inspired by the Alfa racing cars of the '30s and '40 and was named in honor of 8C that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans four consecutive years (1931 to 1934).
were only 500 units were quickly sold at $ 225,000 each.
This beautiful car is presented as a prototype at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2003 and went on sale in 2007, pilot retro style features a 4.7-liter, 450hp V8 engine, body carbon fiber with steel chassis, a 6-speed robotic 20-inch wheels.
Alfa Romeo created an attractive way that makes this car with its two seats on stage only Gran Turismo. The designers have worked hard to ensure that the aerodynamic and performance demands have not altered the original concept car. The style maintains an incredibly clean, free of any element interfering with the overall harmony.
The solutions introduced on the Alfa 8C to achieve the highest levels of aerodynamic efficiency are not limited to the form. Air wraps around the car and follows its natural course, unhindered by corners and inequality. All the pillars and glass surfaces and profiles with the shape of the mirror and the door position have been optimized by mathematical modeling and also by Wind tunnel tests and tests on actual models. Much attention has been devoted to the creation of a ground effect that has allowed CZ negative (lift coefficient) to help increase stability at high speed, as in racing cars.
Maserati engine that gives a splendid performance 8C is a new 90 ° V8 unit with a displacement of 4691cc (4.7 liters), which was designed with one goal in mind: to ensure extraordinary performance while offers a smooth drive. The design plan Alfa Romeo 8C said he had to be usable in all circumstances, from the track to city traffic. And it has an acceleration Starting with the script reach 0-60 in about 4 seconds.
The gearbox ensures the weight distribution for better handling, due to smaller engines and weight. As a result, the power unit can be placed in the back to the sport setting required.
The gearbox is behind the wheel, which is computerized. The limited slip differential allows acceleration and stability in all conditions. Gear changes can be operated in two modes:
• Automatic-Normal
• Auto-Sport
• Manual-Normal
• Manual-Sport
• Ice
(Espectacular!!)
is equipped with specially developed 20-inch tires: 245/35 front and 285/35 at the rear, installed on perforated rims in fluid cast aluminum. The 8C brakes have been called "phenomenon" Road & Track magazine, with a stopping distance of 32 meters (105.0 feet), while traveling at an initial speed of 97 kilometers per hour (60 mph). ] The official top speed is 292 km / h mph (181), but could be higher, with estimates could be around of 306 km / h mph (190) according to Road & Track magazine. Alfa Romeo engineer also stated that it is faster than the posted speed limit.

The cabin combines a performance first approach with the best materials and details. The board is a single piece of carbon fiber. Body-racing bucket seats are wrapped in rich leather and fragrant and come in a variety of colors (to make our red) and patterns, including a particularly handsome woven design. Another security pattern, tubes ribbed leather, called "cannelloni" (yes, like pasta).
The diameter of the wheel seemed too big at first, but that feeling soon dissipated as alternating vanes attached to the transmission shift.
