Although the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider is generally admired for its beautiful design and formidable engine, there are parts of the car that aren’t quite as celebrated, but are integral to the car’s appeal. These could be the subtle design elements or engineering choices or even driving characteristics that are not obvious on first but nevertheless augment the ownership experience. You may not notice some of these things until you spend time with the car, and some may be lost in the shuffle of its more prominent attributes. By identifying these underrated aspects we get a sense of how thoughtful the 8C Spider’s design is, and what makes it different from other sports cars from the era.
