The 8C is coming! The 8C is coming!

...Thats right, possibly the most beautiful concept car ever produced is finally set for production, and in an only slightly less purdy guise.
Changes include an extra 50bhp from the same V8 engine, pushed up to 450bhp to the rear wheels, different rims (they look cheap in my opinion, and I think they're an inch smaller), a virtually un-touched rear, some added chrome trim around the side windows, and extra light in the headlight cluster, the removal of the supercharger (naturally aspirated), a 'flappy paddle' gear box, and a likely sub 4.4 second 0-60 time.

When I first saw the 8C, I was shocked that there were no plans for production- it is such a beautiful car! Now it has been announced, it only makes sense.
I havent heard anything about the convertible...

Besides being a pointless thread, since the content is more accurately written on the main page, you've add a bit more nonsense by saying those wheels look cheap. Very well.

I posted this news like a week ago and it's already in the hide-out I believe...

Well I think they do. They look like they were taken from a riced up Lancer.
...The more I look at them, the less it looks like an Italian luxury supercar, and the more it looks like a Mitsubishi.
At any rate, they definately dont look as good as the concept. I stand by it.

Ok! Repost! I get it! :p

I must agree with TVR IS KING on this one. I mean... the wheels look very nice and fit the car well but they look just like some random after-market rims. Look at other Alfas - all of them have some unique wheels and when you look at them, you know it's an Alfa.

Just to add...
At the Paris Motor Show, it seems the version showed had typical Alfa wheels. They looked so much better.

And it is the new one, the lights are different to the original concept. Perhaps thats the production model. :D!
