First Test - Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione

[highlyporsche]

nice car, poor review

[SI3G3ANON]

that guy with his stupid tan shouldnt get paid for anything car related... just saying... and yes, this is the most beautiful car i have ever seen,

[traviswaldrepaf]

Let's take if for a drive = let's destroy it. Smh

[simone7505]

sound da brivido!!!

[MachSpeedMaster]

Why is my car on Youtube?

[XxPANCOTTOxX]

looks exactly like a corvette from the side

[radar3699]

lol it's so slow, an M3 will do 0-60 in 4.1 seconds without launch control...

[telfud2]

@radar3699 this is true but M3s are only driven by COCKS like you!

[telfud2]

@radar3699 g

[TheGennaios]

anyone who makes a negative comment just dont know about cars,about beauty and about good sound...it means he dont know nothing!

[Hitmanz21]

Wtf 12.8 quarter mile the 2012 charger srt8 and Chrysler 300 srt8 do that between 12.4-12.6. At about 114-118mph.. But I guess the materials and quality of the Alfa Romeo can't be compared to American brand cars.

[tanattecnocraft]

Yeah, new tires, rock chip repairs and possible transmission and brake work.

[bmxhero2008]

I couldn't help but to keep reading the comments and reply because this whole conversation is disgraceful and disrespectful.

[bmxhero2008]

You're all a bunch of racist assholes. To the gentleman from Norway: you shouldn't be insulting someone for pronouncing a word from an unfamiliar language incorrectly when your english grammar isn't perfect (both of which are understandable). To the people bragging about American cars: most of the parts are imported....but really, what the fuck? I thought this was a video about the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, not a nationality contest.

[PepperPriby]

If he says "competition" one mor time, i am gonna fly over there and kick his fucking head in!

[TheFrankthetankjfpc]

@PepperPriby LOL

[rodridjo]

Markeing Multinivel me possibilita realizar esse meu sonho que todos vocês estão vando nesse vídeo !!!

[AudioWaveformTV]

dear santa...

[tusobreviviente]

Lol it performs like a 2011 mustang GT

[lorethemaster]

i love alfa romeo!!!

[n1c0l4s9723]

looks like a corvette 

[deanmann12]

now thats a car.

[Max2009Foda]

i love this car

[DStanizzi]

Its actually a Maserati based engine. The seats are from a Ferrari 

[webbs73]

@DStanizzi Maserati has been owned and made by Ferrari since 1999

[RocketCatDK]

@webbs73 and both Maserati and Ferrari is owned by Fiat :)

[namybot]

@RocketCatDK Not entirely owned, i would explain but i can't be arsed.

[RocketCatDK]

@namybot I will then :)

Fiat SPA owns Maserati and 90% of Ferrari :)

[namybot]

@RocketCatDK No your wrong, Fiat only owns 42% of Ferrari and its not the way you think its owned.

Out of that 42% it entitles FIAT to Ferrari Audience Promo and Engineering Hints so to say on Domestic FIAT Cars, It also doesn't effect Ferrari what so ever, they still make their own cars and employ their own Raing Drivers.

Also FIAT will have a hand in Ferrari Product income, which i think is clever seem as Ferrari make more money than any other Manufacture on the planet.

[RocketCatDK]

@namybot Ooookay - do you have any links that underbuild all those statements? Because I simply cannot make sense of what you claim.

That and in 2010 Ferrari made € 1,919,000,000, white for instance Toyota made € 235.890,000,000

[namybot]

@RocketCatDK Is it so fucking hard to understand that FIAT only own 42% or are you fucking dumb.

Can you back up those figures with a link?

[TitanSubZero15]

@namybot Where are you getting the 42% ownership from? Fiat Spa owns 90% of Ferrari SpA. The last 10% is Ferrari itself. If Ferrari really was owned by 42% then I'm sorry but Ferrari would've been long gone due to Italy's current financial state. Being owned by Ferrari isn't really bad. They share components alongside Maserati and Alfa Romeo which would be a win-win for all brands. I know that your comment is over a month old but as to date, Fiat SpA owns 90% share of Ferrari SpA.

[namybot]

@TitanSubZero15 No, this comment I left is way older than 1 month, to date you prob right.

[camouflagecamaro99]

Such a beutiful car! Oh btw it's competizione, not competition.

[22dimethylhexane]

For those who loves electronic metal, buy a GT-R (R35). For those who loves legends, buy Italian cars. Like today's digital cameras, the second hand prices are always lower than 1970's film cameras.

[TheUberPlayboy]

1:51 is orgasmic if you're a petrolhead

[TheHaos1]

when i heard "Alfa Romeo 8c Competition" my ears just suddenly fell off and bled to death

[ExoticSpotter98]

that's hot!

[Battlestation123]

Top Gear UK :))))

[mikeb1444]

It sounds sweet. Can we get a nice un narrated cut of it accelerating to rev limiter, and going around a track at full song?

[NotQuiteRight]

As an American, I want to apologize for this video.

And McDonald's.

And Ke$ha.

[disengagejam]

@NotQuiteRight -- you forgot to mention Lil Wayne and GM  XD

[Stikg]

@NotQuiteRight And Lady Gaga, and Justin Bieber, and Bush.. lol

[GreekSuremen]

@Stikg

Justin Bieber is Canadian

[Stikg]

@GreekSuremen Yeh I kinda failed...

[theMstanglover]

@GreekSuremen Still a country in North America.

[SI3G3ANON]

@NotQuiteRight even though you posted this comment 5 months ago... i laughed my ass off

[MrSexyfirefighter]

Alfa 4ever

[OzcarMtl]

I hoped for a true review, not just an american douche calling it ''Competition'' making donuts and ripping off the tires, it's an Italian car, not an american muscle that can't get trough corners

[Thefabio41]

this is power ,very beautiful car..

[Roq999]

Love the car but why such a low trap speed? 450 HP and a 12.8? Sorry, but that's not supercar territory.

[kolbpilot]

Very pretty. Wonderful exhaust note. Red is not my color but that is the least of my concerns.

[UPTDCTV]

its cool but the logo has a serpent eating a human

[effelt1]

@UPTDCTV : The Alfa Romeo logo is part of the coat of arms of Milano (the red cross). The cerpent (italian: biscione) is the coat of arms of the noble family Visconti of Milano since over 1000 years. Some say, that the serpant born a human not eating, some say that means, that the snake eat everybody that have not the right believing. You can find meanings of that Visconti coat of arms in Wikipedia, under "biscione".

[VideosTheGame]

Buggati + ferrari + aston martin = Alfa romeo 8C

[94jrose]

Beautiful car but a new boss 302 could probably crush it

[cardude1992]

great first attempt at a modern supercar. i bet next time theyll go for the big dogs

[largemouthbassrigs]

In this economy, 310,000 dollars for a car is a little rash. I bet the car salesmen are sweating like a whore in church right now..

[jetfighters20fr]

@largemouthbassrigs not really,.. they sold them immediately,.. and the price went up much more then original price..

[MrDaverz]

2:50 this is a alfa romeo not a corvette.....

[legatotek]

this guy needs to learn how to drive, its called drifting not spinning out fella!

[stk931]

i love how some american muscle gets as much or more horses than some supercars and eurotrash still complain about americans and there "shit" cars. but muscles cant compare with handling. ill give supercars from euro that

[PL3690]

What 8C Competition you idiot!!!

Its not an american piece of shit!!!

[RemnantSRT440]

Nice only thing I don't like are taillights, still a flawless beauty

[TheAXL35784]

@RemnantSRT440 The taillights are one of of the most beautiful things of this car, they make it a retrò touch.

[gianloro]

the best italian car

[KongSkruf]

"Alfa Romeo 8c Competition" wtf? Its COMPETIZIONE, it´s an Italian car. Not an American tincan on 4 wheels

[Gilgamesh286]

@KongSkruf

@KongSkruf

Not an American tin can? It's made of CARBON FIBER lol way to ignore facts when being ignorantly snobbish. But to address your clumsy rant, he was probably just using the English translation rather than trying to pronounce it in Italian, at which point I'm sure you would have pointed out his failure to do so accurately.

check out Top Gear's review of the 159

[KongSkruf]

@Gilgamesh286 duh i´m not saying that the competizione is an american tin can. I know what the competizione is. When speaking of Tin cans i´m referring to American car industry. I know that he used the english translatin, but that just makes the cars name sound stupid. Alfa Romeo "competition", sounds just stupid. As all americans

[slobodaneee]

@KongSkruf you know not all americans are stupid. Heck there are americans that are much smarter than you.

[KongSkruf]

@slobodaneee nope, you so stOOpid for saying that. i say, stOOpiiid

[slobodaneee]

@KongSkruf your so stupid you can't even spell stupid. your probably a loser who stays at home with no life that all you do is argue online. i don't have the time to waste with you.

[phatkix]

@slobodaneee Haha, nice grammar and punctuation. Well done.

[ilveroFungo]

@KongSkruf Grazie! 

[pikachupowers]

@KongSkruf Italian dickhead pissed off because the Host cant speak Italian? Calm down bro

[BIGMCBUFFLARGEHUGE]

@KongSkruf That is what competizione means. He just can't say it so he said it in american translation. dumbass

[KongSkruf]

@BIGMCBUFFLARGEHUGE how hard is it to say "competizione"? i understood that he said it in slimy american english, but seriously. Fuckhead

[BIGMCBUFFLARGEHUGE]

@KongSkruf Then if you understood why did you type that comment it is not like they are going to read your comment and then change the dialogue of the video just because people complain that they said it in english.

[KongSkruf]

@BIGMCBUFFLARGEHUGE be serious fucking american pig

[BIGMCBUFFLARGEHUGE]

And you are a Norwegian Piece of steaming shit that came from a family of inbred fuck ups.

[arctyler]

@KongSkruf a ford gt is a tin can huh? i bet you can barely afford your house......

[KongSkruf]

@arctyler Nope, a Ford GT isn´t a tin can, but it is mostly made of European parts. Why don´t you think i can afford my own house? I live in the country with the highest income per capita in the world, Norway. and I will soon finish my 5 year grade in economics and marketing. What have you achieved lately, rather than signing up for youtube?

[arctyler]

@arctyler and besides, a zr1 corvette would own this thing, and you think american cars are trash, how bout the zl1 camaro's that would eat most of the cars in "Norway" and the challengers, we got ford, chevy, dodge against what has norway made? norweigen cruise lines?

[arctyler]

@KongSkruf Norway huh? whats gas prices there 7 dollars a gallon, that sucks its 4.50ish over here.... along with 25% sales tax on stuff so a 100,000 car would cost 125,000.... beer cost 11 bucks a bottle at bars... and you have a monarchy in norway... and tax on imported meat could be all the way up to 500%..... so norway is so good isnt it? your income just became negative......

[KongSkruf]

@arctyler What´s wrong in having a monarchy? I wouldn´t say that our income is negative, we earn more, so the prices are higher. That´s a necessity, or else there would be a too high inflation and the economy would collaps. We are the richest country in the world per capita, that is a fact. We´re the best country to live in according to the UN. While america is bankrupt and poor as shit. So yeah, shut up

[arctyler]

@KongSkruf America is bankrupt huh? i learn more and more every day about MY OWN COUNTRY!.... and we are poor as shit? only the people that dont want to work and collects food stamps and unemployment, and you think you are the BEST country to live in huh? with ur 25 percent sales tax and ur shit government

[KongSkruf]

@arctyler 25% sales tax is our VAT. You have it in America as well, but maybe it´s not 25%. But no biggie, we can afford it. Yeah America is as good as bankrupt. And the UN has stated year after year that Norway is the best country to live in. Our government may be shit, but not as shitty and corrupted as your government

[KongSkruf]

@arctyler I wrote "you have it in America as well, but maybe it is not 25%". It´s because of people like you the rest of the world hates Americans. Why would u say i´m retarded? I am just happy that i´m not such a narrow-sighted American as you obviously is

[arctyler]

@KongSkruf and im just happy im free.... now you can go down to your monarch's dick and suck it

[KongSkruf]

@arctyler I don´t think you understand the point of todays modern monarchy. Im both free and rich. You´re free and poor

[arctyler]

@KongSkruf your government is overrated and old as fuck go lay down

[KongSkruf]

@arctyler What the fuck do you mean that my governemnt is overrated? Monarchs and the government is two separate things you ignorant fucker

[arctyler]

@KongSkruf a monarchy is a type of government u dumb fuck

[KongSkruf]

@arctyler In most countries not anymore. The monarchs in this country has no legislative or political power what so ever. They are just a "face" of our nation (which is greater than your looser-nation). Try to learn something OUTSIDE of America, and maybe you´ll get some more understanding you nigger

[KongSkruf]

@arctyler In most countries not anymore. The monarchs in this country has no legislative or political power what so ever. They are just a "face" of our nation (which is greater than your looser-nation). Try to learn something OUTSIDE of America, and maybe you´ll get some more understanding you

[arctyler]

@KongSkruf ok then what is a fucking monarchy then in your country? a fucking butterfly? go lay down

[shobin05]

@KongSkruf you just called yourself rich... you must be very poor..

[KongSkruf]

@shobin05 If you read the conversation, I´m referring to the fact that Norway has the highest income per capita in the world. And that America is broke. In our "national bank account", each norwegian has about 125.000 dollars, or 600.000 NOK.

[MrMadpenguin]

@arctyler I am really sorry man but I would much rather live in Norway than in the U.S.A.

[HardheadzNL]

Should have focused on the sound.

Just goes to show that this isn't for Americans.

[nataneraser]

nice sound :D

[Subtr3y]

If you can't drift, don't try to.

[TheMASDrummer]

imagine a race car version of this with 1000 hp and a titanium body with a v12 :)

[IrishYottaMaster]

@TheMASDrummer why would you want a Ti body ? carbon fiber is lighter... hell aluminum would be better than Titanium (its lighter)

[TheMASDrummer]

@IrishYottaMaster

oh, sorry, i didnt know. i have a TI watch and its really light and i heard that its lighter

[jagonation]

in the words of mr. clarkson, "buying this car for it's dynamic abilities is like buying a porn film for its plot". this is just perfectly beautiful, something great to look at. buy it if you apreciate both.

[codyschuyler]

that car is ment to be garaged.

[KWLaxrat4life]

@codyschuyler Anyone who buys one and does not share it w/ the world is a douchbag

[iammentallyretarded]

This fat bastard american doesn't deserve to drive such a beautiful car. The 8C should stay in Europe. No one gives a shit if a Corvette would beat it in a drag race, because it is much more beautiful.

[Aenigmaa]

For god's sake. At least pronounce the name right -.-

[whatever0481]

It is a hell of sexy car!A pussy magnit! But if you drag race (with a chick sitting next to you) with a Porshe from one trafic light to another - you going to lose. 4.6 is damn slow for a sports car with a price tag of $300 000. M3 for $65 000 will humiliate it. And i couldnt help noticing above a rather abusive comment towards Americans & their Vette. Lets admit Corvette will rape this cocky, loud, limited edition, $300 000 thing.

[slevin360sku]

Slow i don't really care, Fast dont really care douche bags on the comm below dgaf its an alfa And its the 8c and its cute fuck dont care about bitches thrown @ me like a magnet better than an enzo. Right now im sitting in my car typing words alarms triping and i look and i see cops staring @ me like i was going 178 in a 35 mph street when im actually still on a red light i dont really care and im looking and i see in my dash is 8c COMPETIZIONE 246/500 and im thinking wow that was close!!!

[Teztost3rpwn]

Drop dead gorgeous car, but not hardly as good as it should be. what a shame. and the price. ohhh lord

[md79x]

Fucking inbred yanks wouldn't know a decent car if it bit them on their oversized arses.

[81broncoman]

Still the slowest Supercar ever to go around the Top Gear test track, it was only 7 seconds faster than Lewis Hamilton was in the rain in a Suzuki Liana.

[Forkenzo]

you read Juan or Javier pretty much like an R (in the spanish and portuguese sound) not in the english R. you're obviously the one who dont know what you're talking about, saying that Gallardo reads Gajardo is just wrong. You might know how to write in castellano but your pronounciation isn't very good

[Gian092]

@Forkenzo

lol that's plenty of bullshit, in the spanish language the "J" and the "G" letters, the latter before "E" and "I", are pronounced as the german "ch" or the russian "X" (in fact, in the phonetic alphabet is used "x" for this sound). Gallardo is pronounced /Ga'ʎʎarðo/, where "ʎ" is in the mid way of the portuguese "lh" sound and the german "J" for example, in "Ja"; "ð" is pronounced as the english "th" of "the".

[Gian092]

@Forkenzo

I don't know anything of portuguese but just some analogies thanks to pronounce examples, but when I hear iberian portuguese it seems like russian to me lol, I don't understand a word in a fluent speech even though I can speak spanish and italian. What a I can say anyway is that many TAP stewardesses are pretty hot^^

[dragonamt]

I live in Michigan and just this past Sunday I saw a white Giulietta with manufacturing plates. A very beautiful car. Will these be available to the public soon as well?

[dragonamt]

@dragonamt er... well Sunday actually. It was in Canton MI. My phone battery was dead otherwise I would have tried to get a picture of it with the manufacturer plates.

[newbielives]

I thought I was watching CSI

[marty1091]

gallardo is obviously spelled, gaLLardo, y the fuck do ppl say gAYardo? and this review is retarded. sorry for being a troll.

[Vorundor]

@marty1091 Because a double L doesnt make an L sound it sounds more like a J in James. So the car is named Gajardo (using the J sound from James).

[Forkenzo]

@Vorundor wtf are you talking about? not even close. in spanish the J sounds more like an R. and the LL sound is not even slightly close.

[Vorundor]

Um... You obviously are talking out of your arse. The letter J doesnt sound ANYTHING like R in spanish, how do you say the name "Juan", pray tell? Y para que tu sepas, yo se muy bien como hablar español y te puedo decir con mucha confianza que la letra JOTA no suena NADA como la letra ERRE.

[carmgn96]

@marty1091

Because in Spanish, Italian and some other languages, 2 L's make a Y sound.

[Gurisssimo]

@carmgn96 not in Italian..

[marty1091]

@Gurisssimo well then that means it should be the gaLLardo not the gaYardo.

[Gurisssimo]

@marty1091the Italian spelling is gaLLardo,but gallardo is not an Italian word..is Spanish! (it's the name of a Spanish bull race if I'm not Wrong) so maybe gaYardo is correct.

[marty1091]

@carmgn96 thank you, those other spanish trolls r going out of control hahaha.

[215alessio]

@carmgn96 sorry to correct you But in italian 2 LL will be spoken as a hard L only in spanish LL= j but anyway since VW buyed the lamborgini it isn't anymore an italian sport car and those stupid germand gave every model of them spanish names

[GBjapes]

What kind of a fucking shirt is that? And its not a "piece" asshole its a car

[jonathanstensberg]

k-long o-m-p-short e-t-short i-combo z and s-long e-long o-n-long a

[ddmte]

Oh my god I can't see americans talking about this car, disrespectful! lol

[PersilDaz]

did this douchebag just compare this masterpiece to a corvette ?

[robyzico]

strong

[Linicer]

lookks realy cool, and runs realy fast...i like'it....10+++

[galbmw]

wow a bunch of morons fighting about a stupid naming. you all REALLY have too much time on your hand

[clkgrt]

the mona lisa in a CAR !!!!!!!!!!!!

[dremular]

Only 80 are coming to the U.S., "This is one one of those cars".........what a shmuck, his in the states.

[mirkosway]

Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione definita l'auto piu' bella di tutti i tempi, l'unica auto paragonabile ad una vera e propria opera d'arte, rimettendo in discussione i parametri dell'arte e della bellezza assoluta. IO L'HO SEMPRE DETTO!:-)

[Arsenaloid]

Perfect lesson for Germans Car Designers ...

Briiant Sexy Alfa Romeo

[Molo9000]

@Arsenaloid

Sorry to burst your bubble, but this car was designed by a guy called Wolfgang Egger.

One of the prettiest cars on the road though. Only an Italian car can be this sexy.

[Arsenaloid]

@Molo9000 - And it's an italian car, isn't it ? Applied , designed , finalized in an ITALIAN car...there can be any Iranian Wheel concept guy, but it still is an ITALIAN car -

INSN'T IT !

[Laughingpeopletv]

its beautiful, sounds more beautiful than a Ferrari

[emmecci6969]

@Laughingpeopletv Have you ever seen a Ferrari in your life? I don't thing so.....

[Laughingpeopletv]

@emmecci6969 Yes, i went to a dealership. And it was pretty awesome.

[Laughingpeopletv]

its beautiful, sounds more beautiful than a ferrari

[balou1966]

Das ist ein Auto!

[dude991575]

wow... he said Lambo...

[guaskone]

PASSIONE ALFA

[ahmadbanjar]

the best looking car ever built, it's a piece of art that should be in a museum

[dreampilot2]

@mangasman Corvettes rape this over priced piece of shit on track and straight line.

[Gurisssimo]

@dreampilot2 Corvettes basically have the technology and building quality at the same level of an honda civic...top speed is not anything.

[dannayc]

@mangasman Fuckin' oath. What a dumb pig... 'competition'

[soobeng]

This Alfa is a car porn. WHAO. This is the future's classic.

[leponti]

this guy can´t drive for shit!!!! hahahahahhahahahahahahaha

[asdfgh99450]

[ThEaSsMoNk]

[kape1975]

FIAT GROUP ---) Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Lancia and Maserati .....But Alfa Romeo 100 years, not matter what base engine have it, it is beautiful car ever...

[kennedy220]

@DorianCro big deal. many non americans mispronounce my name all the time. and its fairly simple

[Gian092]

@DorianCro

Secondo me, in una recensione anglofona per anglofoni, usare la parola tradotta è legittimo, specie se è così comune.

Siamo noi gli unici allocchi che non facciamo neanche lo sfrozo per tradurre le parole straniere.

[Gian092]

@DorianCro

lol sorry, I thought you were italian... never mind
