The production version of the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione will be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show later this month, according to the latest issue of the U.K.’s AutoExpress. The magazine claims to have spotted the production car at a photo shoot ahead of the show. Alfa will start building the 8C shortly after Paris, the magazine said.

This has been shown so often it is starting to look tired. I can’t wait for the Los Angeles Auto SHow

I really hope they bring this car to the US. I know it will be expensive if it does, so I’m looking at a used one around 2015…

I can’t think of many things that I anticipate more than Alfa’s return to the US. Finally, a chance to buy reasonably priced new cars with Italian soul.

Hopefully they hold together better than the previous generations they shipped over here.
This is a decent looking ride.

I see the new Brera regularly and it is podgy and has a fat ass, it photographs much better than it realllooks. This car looks dated already, compare it to the new Citroen

22k for a Brera you’ll be lucky, it starts at over $40k in the UK

well..if that is the case i dont think Alfa is trying to hit the right market. They are good looking cars but your gonna have a hard time getting Joe out of his BMW, Audi or MB and into one of those. The styling is out there comapred to whats on sale here…younger buyers would be more willing to drive something that stands out. they really need to bring the prices down. compete with VW rather then BMW

Gorgeous car. I’d love to have one. The spider looks fantastic too. If it looks dated, then it’s dated like Porsche’s are dated. Meaning, the design is timeless and classic. The only knock I have against it, is that the interior looks sterile and has a cheap and cheesy 70’s look to it. So, if I had the money, I’d buy this car, and then have a good coach builder like Fisker redesign the interior.

I’ve been wanting to see this car in person. If you type “8c competizione” on youtube.com, you’ll see some nice videos of this gorgeous car.

Yeah but the Camaro has been shown day in day out since january’s motor show but people still like it???? yeah right. This is what you call timeless design which would look beautiful 100 years from now unlike that copy of a normal car.

I think it looks very small like a Mazda with a body kit. But I must say it does look nice. If they are coming to the states they’ll probably start with more expensive high performance models, just noticing by this model and the others that are *possibly* coming to the states, if AR even comes over in the first place.
Wow… alot of stupid comments on this post… and all the others. I am thinking about leaving LLN because of all the three year olds, either you get rid of them or I’m leaving. ANd I’m sure the smarter of you will do the same, our knowledge is no use here.

A V6 Brera lists about 28k sterling. For the sake of comparison a TT that sells for c.28k sterling in the UK (about $53k US) sells for c.$37k in the US. specs might not be directly comparable tho.
