Alfa Romeo models: Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione

Just a few of the new 2010 models you'll see...

Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione

0-62 mph in 4.2 seconds, top speed of 181 mph

The ultra-rare hand-built Alfa-Romeo 8C Competizione was collected by award-winning Manchester-based architect, Ian Simpson, from Alfa’s largest and longest established dealership, Mangoletsi, in Knutsford, Cheshire. Visually arresting from every angle, the ultra-rare hand-built Alfa-Romeo Alfa 8C Competizione looks every inch a supercar, with performance credentials to match.

Under the bonnet a responsive 4.7liter V8 engine produces an awesome 450bhp. Channeled through a sophisticated 6-speed F1-style paddle shift gearbox to the rear wheels. The supercar at this year’s auto show, courtesy of Ferrari & Maserati of Seattle, sole Alfa-Romeo dealer in Washington state, produces enough power to launch its occupants from 0-62 mph in just 4.2 seconds, and on to a top speed of 181 mph.
