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

Running Costs1.5 out of 5

They're going to be terrible. Alfa quotes a combined fuel consumption figure of 17.9mpg, which is worse even than a Ferrari Scuderia and, in real life, unlikely to be unapproached by anyone other than the most saintly of owners. We'd bet on 12-14mpg from an 8C being driven as its maker intended.

It's also going to expensive to service, not least because there will be only four dealers in the whole of the UK capable of looking after it. And every one of them is a Maserati dealer.
