What would you change about the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider if you could?

Add some modern driver aids. It would be more daily drivable with things like adaptive cruise control.

What is the biggest challenge of owning an Alfa Romeo 8C Spider?

It’s a nightmare finding a qualified mechanic. Those who do know how to work on these charge a fortune, and not many people know how to work on these.

Modern supercars are compared to the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider.

Today’s supercars would burn the 8C in a track day, but they don’t have its soul. This is a throwback to when driving was as much a feeling as it was a number.

Does the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider live up to the hype?

It's a mixed bag. The design is timeless and one of the best out there, but the driving experience doesn't quite measure up against modern supercars. It's a unique ownership experience, though.

Discussions and Questions Alfa Romeo 8C Spider

So how does the 8C Spider’s driving experience measure up against today’s supercars?

30 January 2025 09:41

At legal speeds, I'd say it's more enjoyable. Super cars today are so fast that you can’t really enjoy them on public roads. With the 8C, you can have fun without breaking the sound barrier.
