The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione is arguably one of the most beautiful cars to emerge in the last ten years. But you wouldn’t expect anything less from the Italians, right? While the 8C is a looker, some automotive journalists, notably Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear, took issue with the vehicle. Even though he praised the vehicle for its looks, the handling and gearbox were found to be a bit inadequate and the lap time around the Top Gear track was underwhelming. But, to buy this car solely for its performance misses the point. This is an emotional vehicle and perhaps the closest a car has gotten to being a work of art in the modern age.

We sell several brands of Exotic Automobiles from Lamborghini to Maserati, Rolls Royce, Fisker, Bentley and Spyker but the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione is by far one of my favorite cars. From the minute see the absolutely exquisite body design, Competizione Mica-Finished multi layer Red Paint and the quality and attention to detail that went into the way the 8C looks on the outside you get excited to see what they did on the inside! One look confirms it, It is just as beautiful on the inside!
The leather was done in Titanium with the Twisted Full Grain Option and the seats have the Alfa Romeo Insignia embroidered in the inboard shoulder area. The Carbon Steering kit, Custom Stitching, Leather Ceiling and Console, Aluminum Pedals and the "500 Limited Edition" badge on the center console completes one of the classiest interiors I have ever seen. This is one of only 500 8C Competizione's built. It is in pristine condition and ready to open a new chapter. Please call me any time at all to request more photos or if you have questions.

Prices haven’t moved much on the 8C, but this is the first I’ve seen priced below the $200,000 mark. With only 2,500 miles on the clock, that’s not terrible for an Italian exotic that offers so much style and a great soundtrack to boot. Sure, some people might say “you could have had a Ferrari.” But for those familiar with automotive history, they’ll understand just how important the 8C Competizione is in the grand scheme of things.
