Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione (2007-) Review

Category: Exotic Sports 4 out of 5

Summary of the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione (2007-)

Price Range: No data available

Assets

Looks unbelievable, sounds even better. Huge speed, exquisite interior

Drawbacks

Lifeless steering, very stiff ride, handling quite tricky on the limit

Verdict

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

Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione Review

Safety and Security3 out of 5

How many airbags would expect in an Alfa-Romeo costing over £100,000? If you answer is more than two, you're in for a disappointment. There is no crash test data available but there's no reason to suspect the 8C with its carbon and steel underpinnings would crash with less than total integrity.

Hopefully however, that scenario will be avoided by the ESP systems that even incorporate a special wet setting for adverse weather conditions.
