Alfa Romeo 8C Spider | REVIEW by AutoTopNL

[@pedaknezevic1912]

As Jeremy said, this is a piece of art that happened to have wheels.

[@deveenabryant5981]

[@juliansandino8636]

Respect that u quote that legend

[@Jens_Roadster]

One of the best looking Alfa Romeo's ever.

[@unwanted_zombie]

I like the coup personally, but if we are talking sexy Alfas, the 33 Stradale is still king.

[@Jens_Roadster]

@@unwanted_zombie i like the coupe also much more, the roof is much more perfect then the convertible.

[@o_o-_-8639]

Truly an amazing car all around!

[@normansteinmetz643]

My neighbor had one but it was the Coupe version. I still remember waking up by its sound, similar to the time when he still had his Carrera GT. He switched to classic cars now, most with V12 engines but in the meanwhile I moved to another place.

[@EncrypticMethods]

as transmissions get more and more quick to shift, Its almost a blessing for that half second in-between shifts

[@gooo1762]

Such a great car. I just love alfas. Thanks!

[@littlemario8915]

Every time i hear the sound and bangs of that 8c i just have a smile on my face 😍

[@Crusader1815]

They should have made more of them. I remember seeing this car on Top Gear when it came out. The looks and the sound are absolute home runs. I'd love to have one.

[@worldhello1234]

They didn't run out of money. It was a limited edition AFAIK. :)

[@Mr995pippo]

Same here, the design is stunning and timeless

[@weedwinner88]

it was an attack directly into my eye. Saint Elizaveta we love you.

[@borisyurinov4822]

I saw this car in person in Mallorca. Lived next to me. I have never seen anything like that. More beautiful than Maserati Granturismo. Never thought I'd say it

[@richardsmith9509]

Sort of a marriage of the BMW Z3 and the Jag XK8....I am very happy with my XK8 thank you

[@magwol]

Best sounding car ever

[@Ar1AnX1x]

when I was younger I used to completely prefer wild and loud engine sounds but now I prefer engine sounds that are not loud but very beautiful and unique like 911 or AMG SLS, or this

[@artanhysenaj4401]

I was scratching my head as to why that steering shape looked so familiar. It has the same shape as new BMW M cars have.

[@marcoaita4620]

So ein schönes Auto 😍und der Sound,zum dahin schmelzen 🤠

[@radman3206]

If I close my eyes and listen, I could be back in my Maserati Granturismo. The Fabspeed exhaust gave it even more volume.

[@yes8032]

That Alfa is amazing

[@R8andGT3Fan]

The sound is plain ridiculous...one of the few convertibles I reaaaally like! Mine in blue, please!

[@BraxxJuventa]

It is indeed a beautiful car! 👍😁

[@alexandrgr]

What a car!😍🚀

[@pauloliveira1989]

The rencarnation of the 33 Stradale.

[@Toymonkeyjr]

this car is an undercover f430, which somehow makes it cooler then any maserati of the time with the same engine, no one would guess that beautiful engine was in this car unless they know alfa well

[@jackeagle75]

Gorgeous car, if i can get any car somewhat close feeling to this i would be so happy

[@synnekk6893]

year that alfa? i have alfa 159 and i see similar items such as meter or air outlets. the best sounds in the world really!

[@vincenzov8510]

Che spettacolo!

[@luckyspetfriends5588]

Erg mooie design. Bedankt

[@愛情が一番の隠し味]

Nice sounds!

[@bartoszowsky]

Can anyone help me and say, there is any possibility to drive this car on a tour somewhere in Europe? I would be grateful for any information. This car is rly something special..

[@raulmarin9592]

2:13 12 years old actually 😅

[@rubenleitao574]

I never seen such a clean dash / panel. how is that brands dont do this offen? i drove a mazeratti granturismo from a friend... but the interior was disgusting. the amount of plastic and stupid buttons was insane... felt so cheat.

[@pomorackotor]

For many I would be wrong but this car should be red or black

[@Piscotofficial]

I think this cars sounds very familiar with the porsche panamera gts 2015.Maybe because Both have an NA v8

[@infowamoostechnology5031]

What a soud 😍 😍 👌

[@Michael_Michaels]

Let's be honest here: this level of (free) publicity was everything Alfa Romeo needed back then, when the 8C was launched... 🤣

[@ricardofreitas2402]

You get to a stage in your life if you cant have this car no car will do

[@lucjanositz9625]

Beautiful Car !

[@sergiorigon3855]

[@frs2080]

The sound is pure porn! (Ps. Gasten, stop eens met aan dat stuur draaien als de auto stil staat!)

[@danov3085]

Goddamn, that's profoundly hot!

[@bubbleman2002]

ok but why does it beep in reverse??? is it a box truck?

[@mjvdr]

Where are these roads located?

[@daffiecars]

A car from a time when sound and driving experience where priority

[@insighteins1317]

Not really. For that you have to go back a few more years and get yourself a Carrera GT. THAT is a car with priority on driving experience and sound! I hope for the owners that this Alfa will not break down so often! Like the older Alfas... Beautiful but unreliable!

[@DecibelthePanda]

@@insighteins1317 A cgt is a completely different price class, you cant compare those at ALL

[@Markoboy99]

@@DecibelthePanda Not that far off, Carrera GT was 450k new and Alfa had a BASE price of 300k

[@dannycortes4159]

Oh, yeah, the time of Pista, Performante, STO, 765LT...

[@thijss1272]

@@insighteins1317 modern alfa's are reliable if maintained well. however the older alfa's could be rusty or unreliable. not a lot of people know that alfa had to build their cars in an other place then they where used to (coverment forced alfa) when on transport they wheren't covered well enough or wheren't coated. that's why alfa's used to rust quite fast..

[@Evan-McM]

Another car that unfortunately was not appreciate in its time, but will prove to be one of the most incredible ever made in the future.

[@ChristianrnstrupRasmussen]

I did and worship it further on. Top Gear did as well.

[@niceboi6364]

What are you talking about? Didn't you hear that they demanded +700 cars more than Alfa Romeo expected?

[@MrSbrullo]

@@niceboi6364 agree. I had the honor to sit in one of the first 8C competizione, rev the engine... The owner was a Maserati engineer.

[@pentassugliamario6914]

There values are around 280‘000.- today. Mostly with very low mileage, almost new

[@mrcheerios]

I'm an italian Alfa owner, but I'm also from Bologna, so I do love the part with Lambo and Ferrari.. this video explains why Henry Ford once said "when I see an Alfa Romeo, I take my hat off"

[@rikyoh130]

Socmel!

[@Remus_Mario]

Somehow uncle Henry wanted to buy Ferrari. If he would bought it, I suppose Alfa could be the luxury brand of Ford...😁

[@edgood4321]

Like an old vinyl record, u can hear all the history of Alfa in the roar of that engine. I’ve heard louder engines but this is so refined

[@worldhello1234]

It is a Ferrari engine from the F430 which is much cheaper. :)

[@alfisti93]

@@worldhello1234 It's the same family of V8s (Ferrari F136), but the ones for Maserati and Alfa (4.2 & 4.7) have a cross-plane crankshaft*, while the Ferraris (4.3 & 4.5) have a flat-plane crankshaft - hence the Maser/Alfa sound so differently. Their V8 rumbles, a Ferrari howls. *A crossplane V8 runs smoother but has a complicated, heavy crankshaft; A flatplane V8 has a lighter crank, revs higher and can generate more power in direct comparison, but it runs rougher - which is perfectly acceptable for a pure sports car. (Also most of the Ferraris have a dry sump lubrication system, another indication for a thoroughbred racing engine...)

[@Wawawalulu]

@@alfisti93 Pretty much all ferraris have a dry sump, even the california!

[@alfisti93]

@@Wawawalulu Interesting - I was under the impression the Cali has a wet sump, und I'm fairly certain about that. Especially because the California is based on the underpinnings of the "old" Maserati GT / GC... (Also read it in a Ferrari Forum since I only have personal experience with the Tridents.)

[@Wawawalulu]

@@alfisti93 you're right, apparently the California was the first wet sump Ferrari made. I was assuming since the California t also has a dry sump system!

[@filippo6167]

This car is in my top 10, gorgeous

[@Remus_Mario]

From decades Alfa still makes the sexyests cars. The Alfa design is unbelievable.

[@NoNAiMEr]

Just image 159 with this engine and RWD, like the M3 got at that time. Maybe price off something like that was just insane in time.

[@reinaldodombueno9276]

Alfa one legend!!! Most beautiful cars in the History!!

[@bat_broth]

That engine sound put a smile on my face

This really has to be one of the most beautiful cars ever made.

[@manuelaguiar5296]

[@taforth]

One of the very best sounding V8s in existence!

[@worldhello1234]

It is a Ferrari V8. :D

[@taforth]

@@worldhello1234 not a fan of the sound of their flat plane V8s actually…

[@BurritoSenor]

​@@taforth me and you wa are alike I prefer the cross plane rumble to the screaming flat sound

[@michaelsummerell8618]

I've only once seen one of these on the road (coupe version), and that was quite some years back in London. And let's just say, I heard it before I saw it! Achingly gorgeous car and a fabulously rich, bellowing exhaust note... Love it. Pure car porn.

[@ivanlazarevic78]

This is my top 1 car on the list...absolutely can't belive how guys in Alfa Romeo nail it...this car isn't about numbers and race track...it is all about feeling good and enjoy while looking at it,listening to engine sound and driving.

[@cavavision5547]

Using wide angle lenses for filming this video, alters and deforms the beautiful body lines of the car being reviewed. Changing a 28 for a 35 mm for example, would do the trick, without taking much of the "panoramic" shots, specially at close range. A very thorough and concise review I may add. Thank you.

[@stefan.2833]

I said it for myself, then i started to hear it all over the internet... This is probably the best looking car ever made.

[@FrederikF12]

missing to drive cap in the summer 🔥🔥

The deep, throaty, hollow sound of this car is just out of this world. It modulates and changes its voice over the full range of revs. Like an orchestra with hundreds of musicians and instruments. Incredible!

MAMMA MIA che bella! what a beauty.................................and V8!!!!!! 9:06 who the heck wants EV vacuum instead of this V8 roar??

NEVER use a fisheye lens on a camera for a KZbin video. Everyone knows this. You're warping the hell out of the proportions

[@Fatchance89]

Just a word of advice, the viewpoint of your camera is too high, it distorts the picture.

[@davidcollin7466]

only found your channel a few days ago love your videos and its sounds like your a proper car enthusiast just like the rest off us ! 👍

[@MrCarGuy]

Engine certainly fits the 8C better than any Maserati it was used in

[@MatthiasBuesing]

Stunning car, still up to this very day! Didn't know they built a convertible as well...

[@vloubul8288]

As stunning and timeless as this car is, this colour really dulls it out. Very subtle.

[@markcole8887]

Naahh, can’t agree.. but perhaps coming from seeing it in person in other colors, say red or black!/? Maybe 🤔

[@pzipischiquo]

As Davide Cironi said, the sound of this is toxic!

[@90boiler]

You must revisit this car again, in some tunnels, i bet everyone would be happy to hear it again. It’s a car that happens to have a soul and heart instead of engine

[@BojanBojovic]

There is really nothing that sounds like this. The 8C is so live, organic, and it changes the character with different revs, simply incredible. This car will only cost more and more, the initial Top Gear review did left the scar of being a very bad handling car, not sure what to think about it.

[@krlp9826]

Absolutely in love with that car. It pretty much sums up what automotive passion truly means. Thanks for the video!

[@angellosmalefakis1321]

Sorry but the vehicle SUCKS period! It has NO decent size trunk. It has NO stick shift. Have YOU checked out the Mazda Miata? I will rather have that vs this. It is more FUN to drive! Finally paying over 300K where I could spend 30K it is a smart investment to buy a Mazda Miata better. Chicks like it better. Your spouse likes it better because you can spend more on your spouse versus some shitty car with NO stick shift!

[@MJTIbes]

Personally I think it is boring, hence the price of 315K EUR. Build by Maserati. Hmzzz not a fan either. There are much more exiting cars for that money

[@markhill9275]
