Derived from the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, the 8C Spider is purely and essentially a thoroughbred sports car in the traditional Alfa Romeo spirit; it offers sophisticated engineering, a sporty yet elegant shape, and strictly two-seat accommodation.

Created at the Centro Stile Alfa Romeo, the 8C Spider expresses all that is most precious in the company’s heritage.

The low and aggressive front or the face of the car is characterised by the classical Alfa Romeo triptych—the central triangular “scudetto” flanked by horizontal “moustaches.” The lateral view of the car underscores its compactness and its classical mechanical layout, with longitudinally, front-mounted engine and rear-wheel-drive. The car is sure-footed on its prominent wheels, placed in the four corners. The “coda tronca” short tail with generous round taillights, typical for an Italian sports car, adds to the purposeful, dynamic image of the 8C Spider.

The interior design reflects the same philosophy; the cockpit’s non-compromised ergonomics, style, and choice of materials concentrate on one goal only: the ultimate driving pleasur

This car will be the star of the Pebble Beach Concours!! I Haven't adjectives for this beauty :shock: :shock: :shock:

front wheel drive or rear?

It is beautiful. The only drawback of this spider is Alfa used one of the two 8C Competizione coupes to realize this one.

Yes yes and yes! 8)
But what about the network?

HeilSvenska · 08-11-2005, 06:05 PM

But what about the network?

Maserati-Ferrari dealerships?

8C Competizione(??) and 8C Spider (??)

As I see it that will never happen as long as Maserati's still in the FIAT group.

I still have to see the back.
From the front, I think the coupé looks better.

SFDMALEX · 08-11-2005, 08:53 PM
