Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione - by Autocar.co.uk

[galbmw]

guys this alfa has something all alfas have. it feels alive, just like my alfa bits fall off, brake pedal is weirdly positioned i have to have my arms fully extended when im in my right driving position it doesnt have power untill 3000 rpm. but it just somehow manages to feel alive, and thats what 8c is all about its not the fastest the best handling or the most exciting car, but its beautiful and in its elegance very mch alive

[Bakteyo]

Alfa is forever, once you buy one, later you cant sell, no one wants it. It is forever yours. Maybe that is a passion Steve talks about.

[rowsdower12]

Alfa is more about beauty and passion than engineering. Yes it has nice engineering but I think what sets it a part is the design and passion involved. Also nice cars IMO. Love Alfa.

[Fishyboiboi]

Damn i swear they could make a whole lot if they mass produce this car, i will buy one but its only limited to 2 here where my country is and 1 was sold to the neighbour country and the other one was sold to a local who owns a hotel. Damn.

[DimitarDobrinov]

Ohh,stop it with this Alfa 8c-flaws,and crticism and so on.The only thing that is really Alfa on this car is the design-and it is marvellous.If the chassis and engine were Alfa too,the whole car would have been great!

[SuperSixinches]

Wow, amazing him and Clarkson think the same thing about the same car, he MUST be copying him! I suppose he should lie about the car so it doesn't sound like he's copying anyone. lmao

[MrBazpoker]

You should be ashamed of yourself for copying, Clarkson!

It's sooo embarrasing to watch!

[randombloke10]

this car has a button and on this button it reads ''sport'' spress it and the dampeners and springs stiffen the flappy paddle gearbox speeds up to 0.2 seconds it then handles like it should... it took a dutch reportor from autoblogger to point this out and seeming as no other big reviewer has appeared to have pressed this button its no suprise its a bit off on handling

[federico506]

This bloke is a pub bore,standing there in his bootleg jeans and beige cowboy boots,sounds like Simon Cowell doing the 'car factor' TW@T !

[pizzapingvin]

it might sound romantic and nice on the tv but in the REAL world the faults eventually drive you crazy and the german sports car all of a sudden look mighty appealing.

[MrMetys]

Does not have that much an idea of what he is talking about as much as he pretends.

[galvatrax]

italian style guys.. italian style :)

[tanner87]

i am fed up to the back teeth of this flappy paddle malarky, what ever happened to the proper drivers manual.........anyway i love the looks & sound of the 8c, marvelous car!

[alfamaniac13]

What a dic*head.....!?The only Alfa that didn't handl well was the arna(which was a datsun)!!

[AudiABTr8]

@terriku

It was the wind noise blocking out most of the exhaust noise. But if you listen carefully it's there.

[terriku]

beautifully made...but what happened to the last part? "the best thing about this car is this,,,listen!"...I waited and heard nothing lol

[MrWestfest]

the look of that car is absolutly epic

[Logicalification]

One of the most beautiful cars ever built, with a sound that is near perfection.

[propm]

And I that thougt my alfa was the only pretty alfa in the world ;O

[cavaleer]

Glorious sound. Styling doesn't move me.

[bfransman]

i think a summary of jeremy clarkson's 8c review.get more original.the car is awsome

[carmelo2003]

All cars have defects, all brands, all nationalities ...

I find as well many problems, rattles, ergonomics fails when I get into a Mercedes ... but many journalists of car magazines base the 80% of their articles in traditional prejudices or old stories ... please, Alfas don't use carburators anymore and they don't rust anymore (not like Mercedes Vitos, 90's C class, 90's 3er BMW serie ...)

[dracogea]

Stupid english asshole.

[Zsword92]

Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!

A good Alpha!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rigdon]

Nah, autocar are nothing like Top Gear. Autocar actually properly road test and review cars, giving genuine advice and facts. Top Gear just mess around doing things that are ever more detached from road testing cars.

[strafe501]

how much does it remind you of the Ferrari 599

[goodguy309]

That is one ugly car and I don't like the new style trends from just about any of the supercar manufacturers.

[liltre1321]

fuck u

[mozaks80]

Thanks for the constructive comment, btw does the $200 30yr old rusty yank truck in your videos float your boat a little more? Thought so.

[tanner1ie]

Smells nice :D

I was just watching the video of the covertible version, i prefer this.

[DR34605C]

1:18 heartbreaking

[cefa05]

CHE FORTUNATO

[ayaxro]

Lol its already having issues, look at how long it took to start :P Great looker though

[caandry]

My friend got one black...we had a ride last year.

Awesome and very rare to see around, not like 430 or gallardo

[fulviods]

La perfezione.

[twinturbo1995]

this car actually looks as good enough to compete with lambo in the looks department lols

[doddsalfa]

it actually looks better

[snipski0894]

ive seen one in a car museum in germany

[NehpetsK57]

wow this car has great sound; its like if an f1 car had sex with an american muscle car, then this would be their baby

[R1mbo]

I've got an Alfa , it's a piece of shit but I love it.

[cvieri1111]

LOOL. grat one

[snipski0894]

perfect way to describe alfa's

[meluchi]

i just came while watching this car

check out me dance to boom boom pow

[mariarts]

ALFA makes Pure SEX on Wheels

[surfdudezuri]

looks like crap...

[krispenev]

alfa's are great cars...no doubt about it. They handle poorly...what a 145???...well no shit....so does any bargain front wheel drive car....Go drive a 156 GTA...they are fantastic handling cars...this guy is pretty ignorant

[chachachaheyheyhey]

Agree with another post here. There's only one Jeremy Clarkson. Would have been wiser to steer away from copying his style. A great car. Same unfortunately can't be said about the talent.

[alfaholic3]

what a dickhead alfas are known for there there great handling this guy is usless at his job if u gonna talk about a car at least know what you are talking about

[aahayford]

dude have you driven the car? go do some real research on this car and come back and apologize for your ignorance. look at the top gear review first.

[alfaholic3]

he said said alfas fall off the road because they dont handle properly witch is bullshit and if he knew anything about alfas he would know that there great handling cars im not saying the 8c is a good handling car im sayin alfas are so i wont be apologizing for anything

[TheHateAllGuy]

No, the alpha 8c has horrid handling. It understeers like mad... but it is one of my favorite cars for the looks and sound

[alfaholic3]

id have to agree with u on that point but

[Tsparkdriver]

@alfaholic3

Yes, he was wrong. Maybe the 8c doesnt handle well, but alfa romeos handle the best in they class. I have a 147 it was the best handling car in the golf segment, the SZ was the first car in the world to achive more then 1G in the corners, the 75, the car that had breakes inside, near the axle and the gearbox in the back and a LSD and cost like a bmw E30, the old GTV etc. Alfa = handling, passion, looks

[alfaholic3]

i know everyone cant belive how fast my 75 Potenziata or my alfetta sedan can take the corners or the sound they make more so the v6 haha just wish it had the sound of the carbs like the 2.0l does really love these cars and dont think anything could ever change that. they really are true drivers cars

[jadboumalhab]

Go fuck urself you fuckn dumb asshole!! u think british cars runs better?!?! u must know how to handle an alfa in order to properly drive one!!

[AlternativeUses]

one of the sexiest cars ever made no question about it

[krepecish]

Not the best car in front of which to say that Alfas are good-looking.

[veyronman]

trying to be clarkson a *little* too hard.

[Maxlempouras13]

@veyronman LoL

He said the same things as clarkson said......

[mo28mabini]

not into the front fascia and paddle but it looks like a fun drive and the engine sound is marvelous.

[sspope]

Lol, -12. I thought -6 was the maximum. Alfa fans must hate you for saying that, haha.

[avskrap]

Alfas are beautiful, indeed. This looks beautiful, but ugly. I'm confused.

[tgseason12]

Sound really awesome on downshifts.
