Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione

The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione is a sports car produced by Italian marque Alfa Romeo between 2007 and 2010. It was first presented as a concept car at the 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show. The name refers to the eight-cylinder (cilindro in Italian) engine (8C) and Alfa Romeo's racing pedigree (Competizione, Italian for 'competition'). Responsible for creating the production version were Maserati engineers, who were working with Ferrari at the time; the 8C includes components from both brands. Its development proceeded in parallel with the GranTurismo, and production coincided with the global crisis. The company received over 1,400 orders for the 8C after the official announcement that the car would enter production. However, only 500 customers ended up with the 8C Competizione and another 329 with the 8C Spider, bringing the production total to 829 cars. Maserati dealers were responsible for servicing in the United States.
