Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione to enter production?!?!?!??!

Quote:

New Models: Alfa 8C Competizione will be built

Remember the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione concept car? The V8-powered, carbonfibre-bodied, front-engined supercar everyone said Alfa should build? Now, over two years since the concept was revealed at the 2003 Frankfurt show, it really could happen writes John Simister.

'It is my dream to do it,' said Alfa's recently-arrived CEO, Antonio Baravalle. 'We have cut the budget for our advertising campaign and will do the 8C instead, because it is a perfect way to promote the Alfa brand. Sergio Marchionne [president of Fiat Auto] says if the figures add up, do it.'

The plan is to have a production-standard 8C ready for the Paris show at the end of September, and to take orders for a 500-car production run then. It will be a coupé, like the concept car, but another of Baravalle's 'dreams' is to make a Spider version later.

Man, It'd be great if they make it, just in time for the US return!

Good news!!!

This car is just stunning!!! Even if it won't be a sports car as good as other ones, it will be an excellent way to promote Alfa Romeo 8)

I hope the production model won't be much different from this concept!!

Can't wait!!

i'll have my fingers crossed

That would be fantastic and indeed a nice way to promote the brand, much better than ad IMO ... :D

amazing, can't wait for this car, oh wait, I live in America :cry: . I hope they come over here soon and bring this beauty with them

If ALFA Romeo plans a strong return to the States , I`am sure that the 8c will be a very powerfull tool to promote the brand :wink: :P

This car is a promontion where other brands dream of!!!

i hope they finally build the 8C this time

I was really excited when I read this today. It would be amazing if they'd build it! I already loved the car when I first saw it in pictures, but when I saw it in real life I couldn't believe just how perfect it is.... :drool:

GO BUILD IT, ALFA!

Wow great news. 8C is the best alfa concept ever and it will be good to see it is becoming real.

That thing is pure pornography bloody hell and i thought the Brera was beautiful oh my alfa's designers have really hit their stride in the past couple of years, they look better than the new ferraris and carbon fibre body this thing should be light, competition for the 911 or v8 vantage even. :drool: :drool: :drool:

oh yeah, I've long awaited this... hope its real. a beauty like the 8C must be built no matter what...

This is TOP SECRET!!! ....... almost top secret :mrgreen:

Ehm..... et voilà the heart :)
