That’s how you define such a color combination. We found a black one with the red leather interior. No one would let you play around with their artistic possessions, right? After the Delta S4, we made that happen, again. With just short of 500 made it wasn’t the newest offering in the Alfa Romeo line up so we had to find one on our own to make an escape in the hills of Brianza and a very generous owner either. It is a thrill just to look at and to drive…I always wanted to find out. It’s no exaggeration: this Alfa is a combination of classic design with the freshness of new and young ideas. If Michelangelo would sculpt a car, that would probably be the 8C. The sound of the engine, the wonderful smell of the leather, the carbon fiber…everything is designed to catch your attention: it is a sensory overload experience that you won’t ever forget. It is the quintessential form of beauty of XXI Automotive design and every time you see one, just feels like the first time. I normally hate superlatives and avoid making absolute statements, but in front of the 8C I cannot write otherwise. Whether you want to put it, the 8C might just be the most gorgeous car of the 2000’s. He couldn’t better describe such a car: its proportions and sense of exceptional beauty are so unique that may seem strange to some but perfect to most. With this Francis Bacon quote, Alfa Romeo enthusiast Jeremy Clarkson described the incredibly beautiful 8C Competizione.

“There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion”.
