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

Comfort and Equipment3 out of 5

As we've already said, we don't hold out much hope for the ride quality of the 8C, but in all other regards, it's likely to prove an able ground-coverer.

The thin bucket seats are among the best we've come across and the driving position is near enough faultless for drivers of all sizes. There's also head and leg room aplenty.

Best of all, the 8C is also surprisingly civilised when it wants to be: switching off the Sport button reduces exhaust noise to a distant hum while wind and road noise is admirably muted.
