8C Competizione

Daniele Bandiera, President of the Alfa Romeo Business Unit, presented an exciting concept car at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2003 called the "8C Competizione".

Designed and developed at the Alfa Romeo Style Centre, this prototype is a true brand icon, evoking a great sports car tradition of which the name is part. In the Thirties and Forties, the '8C' signature that returns here, identified the racing and road cars that were equipped with the new eight cylinder engine developed by the famous engineer Vittorio Jano. The term 'Competizione' on the other hand, is a tribute to the 6C 2500 Competizione, the sports coupé driven by Fangio and Zanardi in the famous Mille Miglia race in 1950.
