2008 | Classic Italian Cars For Sale

The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione is arguably one of the most beautiful cars to emerge in the last ten years. But you wouldn’t expect anything less from the Italians, right? While the 8C is a looker, some automotive journalists, notably Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear, took issue with the vehicle. Even though he praised the vehicle for its looks, the handling and gearbox were found to be a bit inadequate and the lap time around the Top Gear track was underwhelming. But, to buy this car solely for its performance misses the point. This is an emotional vehicle and perhaps the closest a car has gotten to being a work of art in the modern age.

Prices haven’t moved much on the 8C, but this is the first I’ve seen priced below the $200,000 mark. With only 2,500 miles on the clock, that’s not terrible for an Italian exotic that offers so much style and a great soundtrack to boot. Sure, some people might say “you could have had a Ferrari.” But for those familiar with automotive history, they’ll understand just how important the 8C Competizione is in the grand scheme of things.

Of all the new cars introduced in the last decade, I believe by far the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione is the most gorgeous of them all. A limited production exotic based heavily on Ferrari mechanicals, the 8C employed a 4.2 liter V8 with 444 horsepower and a carbon fiber body mated to a steel chassis. This was the first Alfa Romeo to be sold in the US since the manufacturer left the automotive landscape in 1995. The US got the lion's share of the 500 8C's produced, with 90 coming to these shores. This 8C for sale in Illinois is a rare chance to get behind the wheel of this brilliant looking sports car.

2008 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione

A very rare Alfa 8C! Only 1,831 miles, Rosso Alfa with Cuoio leather racing seats and full interior carbon kit. Black carpets, Bose sound, red calipers, iPod connector, leather headliner and bordeaux stitching. 1 OF 500 made. Carbon body panels, hi output Ferrari V8, F1 gearbox, a very special car.

The 8C Competizione had an original list price of $275,000, which was uncharted territory for Alfa Romeo at the time. Today, these cars are highly prized and typically bring anywhere between $225,000 to $250,000. Most of these cars that come up for sale have low mileage, but honestly, I would love to be wealthy enough to use one of these on a daily basis. Alfa Romeo knocked it out of the park when it came to aesthetics on this one.
