Here it is: the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione

The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, without a doubt the most beautiful car that will be shown at the Paris Auto Show.
For once, a car that maintains all the promises of the concept car that anticipated it, even if three years is a long time to wait.
The engine is different from the one of the concept: it’s the new 4.

7-liters Maserati V8 with 450 PS.
The body is carbon fiber, on a steel chassis.
According to Alfa, the 8C has a negative lift, even though there are no visible spoilers.
More details on the engine, a 90° V8 with a capacity of 4.
691 cc, built in aluminium.
Power output is 450 ps at 7,000 rpm (and a 7,500 rpm redline) and 470 Nm of torque at 4,750 rpm.
Distribution is via a chain-driven overhead camshaft, with 4 valves per cylinder, with continuous variation of the phase of the aspiration valves.
The clutch is bi-disc.
The transmission is a transaxle six-speed robotized gear-box with 5 settings (manual-normal, manual-sport, automatic-normal, automatic-sport and “ice”).
The 8C has a mechanic limited-slip differential.
The 8C Competizione has 20″ alloy rims with 245/35 tyres at the front and 285/30 at the rear.

There are still some doubts to solve: how much will the 500 units go for ? what about performance data ? and when is the Spider coming ?Via
