This 2008 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione is one of only 500 coupes built between 2008 and 2010, with approximately 90 designated for the US market. Purchased new by its current owner, the car has just 3,400 miles on the odometer and carries a registration history in Texas, California, and Florida.
Powered by a 4.7-liter F136 YC V8 engine designed by Ferrari and Maserati, this 8C produces 444 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 354 lb-ft of torque at 4,750 rpm. The V8 features a 90° bank angle with a cross-plane crankshaft. It is paired with a six-speed semi-automatic transaxle offering five different automatic and paddle-operated shifting modes, along with a limited-slip differential for enhanced traction.
Finished in striking Rosso 8C Competizione over Nero leather, the car features numerous premium details and equipment. Exterior highlights include bi-xenon headlights, fog lights, fender vents, quad exhaust outlets, and 20″ five-loop clover alloy wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tires. Stopping power is delivered by Alfa Romeo-branded Brembo calipers over cross-drilled rotors at all four corners. The brake and power steering fluids were recently flushed in October 2023.
Inside the cabin, twin carbon-fiber sport seats trimmed in Nero leather with red stitching offer both comfort and style. The matching upholstery extends to the door panels, while the dashboard and center console showcase brushed aluminum and carbon-fiber trim. Additional amenities include a Limited Edition badge on the center console, Becker CD stereo, navigation system, cruise control, and dual-zone automatic climate control. The leather-wrapped steering wheel features aluminum spokes with paddle shifters and frames a tachometer with a 7,500-rpm redline, accompanied by a 210-mph speedometer and digital readouts for oil temperature, coolant temperature, and fuel level.
The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione was introduced at the 2006 Paris Motor Show, marking the return of the nameplate to the US market after a 13-year absence. Its design pays homage to Alfa Romeo’s historic eight-cylinder racing cars from the 1930s, with styling cues inspired by the company’s post-war sporting models. The lightweight carbon-fiber body panels are mounted on a robust steel space frame.
This particular example comes with the owner’s manual, service records, a battery tender, a car cover, and a clean Florida title registered to the owner’s LLC. Recent maintenance completed in October 2023 includes replacement of the engine and cabin air filters, coolant flush, and oil change.
The Carfax report notes front-end damage recorded in November 2016, as well as at least one open manufacturer recall.
Currently offered in California by the seller on behalf of the owner, this rare and well-maintained Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione represents a unique opportunity to own an iconic Italian sports car with an exceptionally low mileage history.
