Alfa Romeo 8C

In the states, Alfa Romeo has a bad rep.  In the early to mid 90’s Alfa Romeo was available here in America, however after some quality control problems and a lack of demand, this once great car company was forced to leave and go back to Europe.  Well, today Alfa Romeo is once again making a mark in the American market.  The New Alfa Romeo 8C will be available here in the states.  Since 1995, none of its cars have been sold, however the 8C is a limited edition of 500 vehicles which 90 will be sold here.  For those that have reservations, the Alfa Romeo is truly back to its roots with the 8C.  Besides great technology, incredible performance and impeccable styling, the Alfa Romeo offers drivers something that hasn’t been around for a while- the true Alfa Romeo experience.

Under the Hood of the 8C
This car weighs a hefty 3500 lbs, even though it uses pretty much a complete carbon fiber body.  However, performance definitely doesn’t lack.  The car includes a 450 horsepower V8 engine that accelerates like a rocket.  In fact, you can easily hit 0 to 60 in about 4.2 seconds without leaving second gear.  While purists will be a little disappointed that there is no manual transmission available, for those that like speed shifting and high technology, Alfa Romeo includes a nicely done semi automatic transmission with paddle steering.

The Interior of the Alfa Romeo 8C
While the exterior is incredibly beautiful and sophisticated, you will find plenty of luxury, refinement and civility in the 8C’s interior.  Crafted with beautiful materials that include fine leather, aluminum, carbon fiber and glass, you definitely feel Italian in this sports car.  The 8C’s price hasn’t been set yet, but many believe it will be around the $250K mark.  Also expect a convertible version soon on the market as well.

Alfa Romeo

In 1910 a little company was founded with an acronym for a name.  It would later become one of the most prominent names in the automotive industry… “Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili” is the acronym used and thus Alfa Romeo was born – but not before having a different name first four years earlier.  SAID was the said name (get it? No? Fine) and it was also an acronym (Societá Anonima Italiana Darracq) by an Italian man named Stella – a very wealthy man from Milan in a dual ownership with the French company Alexandre Darracq which itself had basically revolutionized the manufacturing of chassis from steel that was pressed and was first to begin using machines to produce parts – rather than craftsmen.  Well, after Alfa Romeo was producing vehicles war broke out in Europe, and for a while they manufactured war goods for the Italian army – until the war finished.

 Alfa Romeo Logos - History

After the war Alfa Romeo cars were, and are, known to be some of the hardest to beat in events with their designs and overall power output through better engines.  In the seventies and sixties they were one of the most dominating racecar manufacturers in the world – and in many respects still are. Alfa ran into some economic issues and ended up with Fiat taking control of assets, thus creating Alfa Lancia, which lead to many combinations between the Alfa and Lancia vehicles being combined to be more economically efficient to produce.  Most recently just two years ago Maserati was bought back from Ferrari and is now also under the ownership of Fiat.  Fiat now has many ideas and plans for what will come out of this with such things as sports and high class divisions being divvied out between Alfa Romeo and Maserati along with engines, platforms, and such to share markets.
