This Alfa Romeo 8C got away, but there are more like it here.

This 2008 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione is one of approximately 90 examples designated for the US market and was delivered new to Ferrari of Seattle. It is said to have spent 13 years in a collection before it was purchased by the selling dealer in 2023. The car is finished in Rosso 8C Competizione over Rosso Alfa leather upholstery with Poltrona Frau basketweave accents, and power comes from a 4.7-liter F136 V8 mated to a six-speed semi-automatic transaxle with a limited-slip differential. Features include bi-xenon headlights, the Full Carbon kit, dual-zone climate control, navigation, a leather headliner, and a Bose Premium GT sound system with an iPod connection. This 8C has 1,400 miles and is now offered in Scottsdale, Arizona, with factory books, a set of fitted luggage, a battery charger, a car cover, service records, and a clean Washington title.

1,400-Mile 2008 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione

The 8C Competizione was introduced at the 2006 Paris Motor Show and revived the 8C name originally used for Alfa Romeo’s eight-cylinder racing cars of the 1930s. Styling cues from the company’s post-war sporting cars can be seen in the carbon-fiber body panels, which are supported by a steel space frame. Of the 500 Competizione examples built, approximately 90 were designated for the US, marking the nameplate’s return to the market after a 13-year absence.

Designed by Ferrari and Maserati, the 4.7-liter F136 YC V8 featured a 90° bank angle and a cross-plane crankshaft. It produced 444 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 354 lb-ft of torque at 4,750 rpm when new. An oil change was performed in February 2023.
