Alfa 8C Price announced

And a return to the USA

---

Alfa Romeo has revealed

The Alfa 8C

the price of the stunning 8C supercar.

The car will cost 159,300 Euros (£108,000 at current exchange rates) putting it firmly in 'junior supercar' territory.

In the same breath Alfa has announced that they will be making the last 99 of the limited production run of 500 in a special USA spec. This signifies the end of a 12 year absence in the Sates, after exiting the market in ’95.

Expensive for something that [might] fall apart but my god, oh so pretty

Saw the 8C at Goodwood FOS
Achingly gorgeous........ (sigh)

[odyssey2200]

Beautifull car!

Far, far too dear!

[Hendry]

The last 99 available in USA spec? Cue the jokes now...

I'll start: springs and dampers replaced with marsh mallow and the addition of cup holders?

I thank you.

[Viper_Larry]

Since when has the 'current exchange rate' had anything to do with the price in the UK?

Bet its £159,000 here...

[belleair302]

For the US market it will also need big rubber bumpers and chrome wheels.

[Ireland]

I like it.

What'll the price be like if we get it over here?

We'll be shafted for it with VRT.

More like €200k plus for us.

What, Rari's 430 V8 in there?

[runnersp]

Saw one in the flesh (moderately disguised) a while back. My God what a stunning car.

shame there making so few, but what alfa really need is a rear wheel drive platform if there to regain there place as a serious contender to the likes of BMW an Audi

[oagent]

Nice to see Alfa making drivers cars again and what a come back!
That first shot in the darker red makes me want to sell my internal organs for this new 8C

I'd love to Alfa do this again.

Maybe one day... One can always hope.

The 8C has to be one of the most gorgeous cars in production at the moment.

[Mr_C]

there was one at the 'ring over the weekend. looked lovely

[dave_Sw1]

That is Automotive porn! I mean obviously it will rust in 6 months and break down once a week, but good it looks good!

[GaryDVO]

Looks very very nice.

I think its a rebodied Maserati 3200. Shame the running costs to will match the purchase price.

I think you're several hundred nautical miles wide of the mark. But you're right, it is rather lovely.
