Is the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione overhyped?
It’s easy to see why the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione is so well regarded for its looks and exclusivity, with just 500 units made. However, the surprisingly firm suspension completing with unwanted body roll has been criticized by some automotive journalists for its driving dynamics. This has sparked debates of whether the cars aesthetics and rarity should make up for its performance shortfalls. This has also fueled a discussion on whether it really offers value for money according to its price tag and the scope of its availability, just like other high performance sports cars in its class. That’s where the 8C’s status as a collector’s item complicates the debate: Its value may be more tied to what it might be worth later than what it’s like to drive today. Here we ask whether the 8C Competizione's reputation is deserved, or if it's more style than substance.
Overrated? No way! It’s a work of art on wheels, the 8C. Yes, it’s not the sharpest tool in the shed to handle, but that’s not what it’s all about. It’s about the experience, it’s about the sound of that Ferrari derived V8, it’s about the looks that kill but it’s also about the people that are around you. It’s not a track weapon, it’s a proper GT car.
