Alfa Romeo 8C Spider

Product Overview
Alfa Romeo 8C Spider is a compact high-performance convertible sports car in production from 2008 to 2010. It was powered by a Ferrari-Maserati F136 naturally-aspirated V8 engine that displaced 4.7 liters paired to a 6-speed automated manual transaxle.
Essentially a more compact variant of the Maserati GranCabrio, the 8C Spider has essentially the same drivetrain and suspension setup. Thanks to its markedly shrunk dimensions, however, the 8C Spider is much more driving-focused. Its price is also much, much higher.
Those who love the handling aspect of the 8C Spider should keep an eye on the 8C Competizione on which it is based. Those who wants a GT can go directly to the more luxurious and practical Maserati GranCabrio and save a lot of money in the process.
