A beautiful rendering of the 8C Competizione. The 8C has also been used as a stylistic basis for the 2008 MY Alfa Romeo 149, particularly the front and side.

The steering wheel of the 8C reflects the sporty character of the car. 

The cockpit's non-compromised ergonomics, style, and choice of materials concentrate on one goal only; the ultimate driving pleasure

The large tyres (245/40 - R20 at the front and 275/35 - R20 at the rear) and the powerful, muscular rear wings accentuate the impression the model gives of a strong, forceful personality

The engineers researched different materials for the chassis, striving to find the best multi-material combination for strength, weight and crash resistance

The light clusters set into the integral bumpers provide a degree of elegance on the coda tronca rear end. Inspiration came from such classics as the 1964 Alfa Romeo Canguro, and the infamous TZ1 and TZ2 models.

A rapid glance will reveal that the styling of the whole exterior is full of classical references, the front end recalls the former 33 Coupé Stradale.
