Brenda Priddy's cameras have managed to capture the limited run Alfa C8 testing on the Nürburgring track in Germany. These photos show that the production car has had several modifications from the original concept.
As Alfa 8C Competizione takes on its role as a leading player, the combination of the exhilaration generated by its design and the pleasure of its drive clearly make Alfa Romeo stand out within its category. Comparing both, the concepts and the prototype shown here, we’re able to reveal the many modifications that will turn the show-stunner into a road-legal production car: new air-intakes, softer edges, wider A-pillars, and many more.
The car will be powered by an unprecedented 4,591 cm3, 90° eight-cylinder engine. Maximum engine performance is 450 bhp at 7000 rpm, with a peak torque of 470 Nm at 4750 rpm and top speed capacity at 7500 rpm.
With six gears and a computerized gearbox system situated behind the steering-wheel, the new 8C offers pinpoint gear response, and has been developed to be driven at Manual-Regular, Manual-Sporty, Automatic-Regular, Automatic-Sporty and Ice modes.
The 8C’s suspension and brake systems have been designed using racetrack engineering and developed technologies. The front and rear dual wishbone suspension and aluminum calipers ensure exceptional traction and braking performance. The 8C makes use of Alfa Romeo’s latest VDC technology (advanced stability and traction control systems) for best driving performance in any situation as well as guaranteed driving safety. And we’re expecting the 8C Competizione to mark Alfa’s re-entry into the U.S.-market.
