It’s like getting the Golden Ticket. In tough times, a few select individuals enjoy distinct luxuries. Among these is the Alfa Romeo Alfa 8C Competizione, a snarly, sexy and snazzy 4.7 liter 8 cylinder super ride churning 450 bhp. The 6-speed robotized gearbox is alluring for a car with considerable pedigree dating back to 1936. The Competizione captured four Mille Miglia titles in the ’30s and ‘40. The 8C debuted as a concept in 2003 and marked Alfa Romeo’s return to the American market after it withdrew in 1995. The first 8C was delivered to an Italian customer in October 2007 and only 500 are in production.
The first 8C of 84 hit stateside. The lucky duck? Producer and writer James Glickenhaus who worked on The Exterminator, The Soldier,The Protector and Shakedown. Glickenhaus is an accomplished and known car collector.
