Looks unbelievable, sounds even better. Huge speed, exquisite interior
Lifeless steering, very stiff ride, handling quite tricky on the limit
Better to look at than to drive, but still a wonderful experience. Shame it has no bearing whatsoever on any planned future Alfa production car
It is impossible to guess how well a largely hand-built, limited-edition model like the 8C will withstand the rigours of long term life in the everyday world. Historically standard production Alfa-Romeos have tended to languish towards the bottom of customer satisfaction surveys and it is tempting to tar the 8C with the same brush.
However, the two cars that were available at the launch felt mightily well screwed together, with a complete absence of the creaks and rattles you might think were almost inevitable in such a car. Alfa appears to have realised that while people may accept cars designed down to a standard when paying less than £20,000, when you're asking over five times that amount, this has to be reflected in construction standards.
And the quality of the materials used is simply outstanding. The paintwork is exceptional, while the interior is a sea of leather, milled aluminium and real carbon fibre.
