Alfa Romeo 8C Spider Loses Its Top
Usually an extreme form of punishment, decapitation - for Alfa Romeo’s 8C Competizione - is a gift to all Alfisti who desire top-down motoring. We had a chance to look over the drop-top halo car at this week’s Geneva Motor Show, and if you think the coupe looks good, the ‘vert certainly doesn’t disappoint.
Granted, precious little changes between the fixed-and drop-top cars, which is a great thing. Without a doubt, Alfa created a stunning design with the 8C, and we’d argue that if it’s not broken, don’t fix it. That said, without the buttresses of the fastback roof, the fenders now flow with little interruption to the tail - something that makes the three-quarters rear view, at least with the top down, quite breathtaking.
As much as we look forward to the coupe’s arrival within the U.S., we’re jumping at the bit to blast through the countryside with the wind in our hair from within the cockpit of an 8C. What say you - do you prefer the car with or without top?
