From 1931 to 1934, Alfa Romeo won the Le Mans 24-hour race four times in a row, with the original 8C model.
The 2008 Alfa Romeo 8C remake was a sensational car that was more powerful than most other cars in its segment, like the Audi R8 or the Aston Martin Vantage. The 2-seater supercar’s body was almost entirely made of carbon fiber, thus having a reduced weight. The striking body had a long nose and a short tail, looking pretty much like a modern Ferrari Daytona.

The chassis was borrowed from the Maserati Grand Sport, as well as the powerful 4.7-liter V8 engine. The engine produced 450 hp and is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The car could rocket from 0 to 60 mph in around 4.2 seconds. Only 500 Alfa Romeo 8C Spider were produced, the majority of them being delivered to Europe and a few to the UK. It is said that the car’s top speed was 182 mph.

With the powerful engine came even more powerful brakes, the car being equipped with huge vented Brembo discs behind the 20-inch alloys. The car’s interior was equipped with a beautiful luxurious leather, it had no rear seats and the luggage compartment was almost nonexistent. That being sad, this car was not created to be a family vehicle.
