I like this take on what the final livery could look like on a 2018 car

The livery looks nice but it being on a Sauber, I've just had to watch another brand I like languishing a the back (McLaren), it'll be sad seeing Alfa as backmarkers 🙁

Great shots! Thanks for sharing them with us.

That 8C is something else. Never gets old.

Spotted this beauty in Austin this morning:
Ahhh!

On my short-list of just two in 1981 when I wanted a new car. Lovely engine (2.5 V6), good gear box, but nearly everything else -- WHY did they do it like that? The Italian driving position I could live with, but a rear tail-gate with fixed top, can't put anything on it, can't put put much under it. I needed a car I could leave in the airport parking lot (Boston Logan) and just get back in after a week in Detroit and know I was home again.

So I bought an Audi. Slug of an engine (2.2 inline 5), brakes faded coming down from the mountains of Massachusetts (North-east of Tanglewood) -- I don't think my passenger realised, she was never backward about coming forward about my driving. 😗

That seems like an unlikely claim for an alfa, or any classic in fact

I had an alfa gt for several years and loved it. Replaced it with a bmw 4 series and although it was a better car by almost every rational measure it just didn't have the same personality and i never had the same affection for it.

I do love the three headlight thing that Alfa has going on, looks super mean in the rear view mirror.

My company has headquarters just a stone throw from AR Museum and last week we spent a day over there for a team building event...

Out of the museum: 3 times Tipo 33


Do I see a Monaco at the wrist of Derek Bell?

...and we have news of a new 8C and GTV coming. Sounds like the GTV will be a coupe Giulia, but the 8C will be all-new.

Good times coming...
