Stew Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 I always thought this was a stunning car. Walking along the Piers in San Francisco I spotted one. Took just 3 pics of it (which don't do it justice!) and I have to say it is probably the most beautiful looking car I've ever seen in the flesh. I have seen most supercars in the flesh and this outdoes them all. It has been raised to Muira / 356 Speedster levels for me which is the ultimate accolade! Quote
Vik54 Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Would love to see one of these in the metal !! Quote
Zugara Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Sorry, but the rear end looks like a wide eyed frog, not happening imo. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 one of my favourite cars going, its not the best perofrmer, but it is a very stunning car to look at. its like the ultimate alfa. if i had the money i'd have one in my garage Quote
Stew Posted September 25, 2010 Author Posted September 25, 2010 The rear wheel was kerbed too! Beauty is a personal thing but honestly I was intoxicated just staring at it for 20 mins. Just stunning from every single angle. Quote
HEADPHONES Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Love the telephone dial alloys too If only British roads were just as wide. Seems everyone's parking 8inches away from the curb........probably really para about kerbing now Quote
shunter Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Yup, there's an Alfa 8C in Edinburgh. It's cream coloured and possibly the only car that can pull it off... lovely! Loving those wheels too! Quote
Stew Posted September 25, 2010 Author Posted September 25, 2010 I want to see an 8C spider in the flesh now! Quote
JetSet Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Stunning styling. Lucky for Americans that they don't need a front plate though. Pete Quote
Will370z Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Tis a beautiful car inside and out. Saw one at Prescott recently. Really surprised me how big they are in real life and photo scale alway makes they appear small. Quote
marzman Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 I saw the 8C coupe and spyder at the London Motorshow in 2008... 2nd best car there behind the Ferrari F40. Its beautiful. Quote
Sarnie Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Gorgeous car but waaaay overpriced...... Quote
Watshot Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 This is my old black one, before I upgraded to the Z............ But seriously, it was at an Alfa event a couple of years ago when I had a 3.0 916GTV. Quote
bronzee Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 Quite a nice looking car. Love the distinctive Alfa wheels. They don't seem to change much model to model. Imagine the blind spots in that thing though with those pillars. Quote
Ekona Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 The most beautiful car produced anywhere in the last 20 years IMHO. Utterly, utterly stunning and so imposing yet so gorgeous in the flesh. I'd love one in yellow. Quote
AK350Z Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 *dribble* Easily the top of my lottery win list. Quote
craigo Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 Totally stunning ! When I had the 159, I used to take it to Magoletsi for service. On one visit they had a black 8C in reception. They started it in order to move it and the sound was earth shattering. Even better than an Aston V8 Quote
LRF4N Posted September 27, 2010 Posted September 27, 2010 I saw the 8C coupe and spyder at the London Motorshow in 2008... 2nd best car there behind the Ferrari F40. Its beautiful. i saw it there too, went en route to pick up my zed the 8C is gorgeous not too keen on the back but the rest is stunning marzman best car there was the xj220 lol Quote
Fat Eddy Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Gorgeous car...apart from the front! Looks like a wall-eyed frog. Quote
captain Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 And have you heard it................... I'll have this one please. Quote
MacW Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 I got to sit in one in an Alfa dealership in Vittoria, North Spain a while ago. Absolutely beautiful place to be. Had one try to race me about a year ago in the B roads of Sussex and I have to say I didn't like the sound it makes. Too much scream and not enough growl for me. Not enough to take it off my lottery list tho Quote
