Alfa Romeo has been out of the US market since 1995, but next year the automaker will finally return! The first car to be sold here will be the 8C Competizione. Alfa Romeo is only making 500 of the 8c, with less than 100 dedicated to the US.
The final price for the car will be more than $200,000 when it goes on sale here. It has a 4.7L V8 with 450 horsepower and a body made of carbon fiber.
In 2009 more mainstream Alfa models will make it to the US.
Too bad most of us won't be able to afford one of these awesome cars!

That car is luscious.
It looks equal parts 599 GTB, Cayman S, 1st gen Viper GTS and the overall muscular proportions of a TVR, in my opinion.

If you take a look at alfa's website you will see how beautiful this car is...
But, will it make up to the alfa name and break in the first years (maybe more than one time.. heheeh)

Italian cars have always rusted so fast they made GM cars look durable. Will this one be any better?

If anyone is interested the body is made of carbon fibre, it can't rust.
