2010 Alfa Romeo 8C

Overview

Leading Alfa Romeo’s charge back into the United States‚ to be followed by more mainstream models by 2010‚ is the achingly gorgeous 8C. At $301,600, it’s ridiculously expensive, but it’s also very beautiful, very rare, and very fast, with a top speed of 181 mph. The car has a Ferrari-derived 4.7-liter V-8 that makes 444 horsepower and one of the best and loudest exhaust notes on earth. The automated manual gearbox is very fast to swap gears, the brakes are amazing, and the handling is sensational.
