The owners of alpha believe that the idea to build a supercar with low volume which the spirit of Mark incarnates and provides of the selections of design for lower models in bottom of the balance - cleared with the half-compartment and the convertible one of the limit-edition 8C - worked spectacularly well.

Engines of Maserati and current speed were used for the original 8C, but Alfa Romeo 'total marketing director of S Sergio Cravero believes that a car based on new Ferrari California would be ideal as a its replacement.

It would be large if Ferrari let to us do it,? Cravero said, ?but it is very difficult to convince them.? The 8C project will have broken even, financially speaking, before the 500 spiders currently in construction were delivered.

Alfa Romeo had provided to build only half-compartments, and each of the 500 sold quickly, but the request for an alternative of lower-top was so large that the company curved with the pressure.

Cravero believes that the project 8 C.A. carried out much more identification of mark than a calculation of the costs of publicity campaign of TV by similar amount of money, and is sharp to repeat the process.

The `new 8C' would be an engine car before-and rear-wheel-drive, made again in limited numbers, but no firm decision was still made about its mechanical design or supports. However, the owners of alpha recognize that to take a ready car within two year, a plan will have to emerge very soon.New Alfa 8C Photo
