There is one of these available at Maserati of Minneapolis right now, but they want $329K for it. It's a hell of a car, and probably the most gorgeous thing ever placed on 4 wheels, but that's simply an absurd amount of money.

 

I think its pretty, but not for that much money. Id like to see it in white or black.

 

For 329, you can have a 4k mile silver cgt, a 7k mile black cgt or a new scud. Which would you choose?

 

Its a shame Alfa did this to their first car back in the states, great car but the window sticker is way too high.

 

Exactly. For that kind of money, there are plenty of other options out there. Another example of what can be had for $300K and change is a SL65 AMG Black Series.

 

I would rather get a Porsche 997

 

I saw the 8C and Ferrari California in Italy last month both absolutely beautiful.

But at $300,000, for the 8C I would pass.

 

do any of them actually sell for MSRP in these current market conditions?

 

I also have seen this spectacular Alfa in Mpls...but I have seen the light. I have driven and ridden 500 miles+ in a CGT.

Porsche (CGT), there is no substitute

 

It's not even close; all the above way before an 8C. Or maybe a GT2 with lots of spare change.

 

+1 even though the car is unique if i was spending that much I would go for one of those options

 

Its all about in the exclusivity,if Alfa-Romeo's were common in the states like lux autos ie Audi etc,the 8C would be about the priced closer to a Aston Martin Vantage (or similiar class car). Like Gungriffin said "This car is all about collectability".

 

rs4+rs5+rs6+s8, but that's just me.

 

i was at The Collection a week ago...they had a yellow 8c sitting in the showroom sold....wayyyy over priced tho, but i think there was something like 55 made??

 

Alfa was going to ship 100+ 8C's to the US to introduce the brand, but when the economy began to crumble, they cut the shipment down to approx. 50 cars. Maybe even less. It's a VERY exclusive car!
