mts Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 The multilingualists at Eurocar Blog picked up a story in our favorite Italian car magazine Quattroruote (literally, four wheels) indicating Alfa Romeo's return to America won't be rushed. In fact, the report says, we won't be seeing new Alfas in the states until 2010, when we'll be getting the Brera, 159 and new Spider by way of Maserati's dealer network. But, as the ragazzi from ECB point out, the company's chances among power-hungry American buyers would be augmented by the addition of rumored GTA versions of the cars, along with proposed rear-wheel-drive offerings like the 8C Competizione (pictured) and Alfa 169 luxury sedan, powered by Ferrari-Maserati V8s. We'll keep the panna cotta warm. Italian news agencies are saying that the may edition of Italian magazine Automobilismo (soon in newstand) the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione will (really!) be produced. The decision was taken by Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne himself: The car [the 8C] will have a Maserati derived engine and chassis, with a 4.2 liters V8 engine with more than 400 hp and rear wheel drive. The production run will be limited to 500 units, 250 coupès and 250 spiders, with a price that should be around 120.000-140.000 €. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
