Description[]
The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione is a sports car manufactured by Fiat Group Automobiles (now Stellantis) for Alfa Romeo from 2007 to 2010 in coupe and spider formats. Designed by Wolfgang Egger, the 8C Competizione was originally presented as a concept car in 2003 before entering production in 2007. The car's name is derived from its 4.7L Ferrari F136 YC V8 and the Italian word for "competition", referring to Alfa Romeo's racing pedigree. The engine produces 444 horsepower and is mated to a 6-speed automated manual. 500 coupes were produced, along with 329 spiders.
This casting (or at least some form of it) was planned for release in the 2010 Speed Machines series, but ultimately never saw any release; it is only mentioned on the back of certain cards. As of 2023, this is the newest model of Alfa Romeo made by Hot Wheels.
