Over a decade old, the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider is now still a head turning, still a passion ignitor for car lovers. Automotive technology, however, has come a long way since then. Today’s supercars pack more oomph, more advanced driver aids and more cutting edge infotainment systems. The 8C Spider's analog driving experience and raw emotion contrast sharply with the digital precision of today's high-performance machines. On the one hand, some say that the purity of it and the connection to the road is lost on more modern supercars, while others point to the better performance and safety features of contemporary supercars. It also makes you question what is more valuable in the supercar world: character, or outright performance.
