In recent days was officially delivered the first Alfa Romeo Alfa 8C Competizione out of the production chain. The lucky is a collector car that has a dealership in North America, particularly in Connecticut.

A delivery occurred with a ceremony to celebrate the return of Italian brand in America where missing from many years now, waiting for the official debut with a lot of dealerships that will in all likelihood, in 2010.

The Alfa 8C Competizione is a car so exclusive that will be produced in limited edition: only 500 units for as many fortunate who can afford to spend an astronomical sum.

Sports car from the sinuous curves that guarantees excellent performance thanks to the engine from 4.7-liter V8 that can unleash a power from 450 horses.

Of the 500 copies available, few actually will go to the American market, just 85 copies, the other will be marketed in Italy and the rest of Europe.

As mentioned, these days it is taking the Essen Motor Show, an event dedicated to the brands that prsentano tuning the versions to the public more or less modified vehicle series.

Among the vehicles just presented, deserves special mention the new Alfa Romeo Mi.To. modified for the occasion by Marangoni.

The vehicle in question from the aesthetic point of view is characterized primarily for dual-color red and white mainly because of a bumper design completely different from the traditional model.

The interior has been made in dyed with the body displays seats with dual color red-black.

As regards the engine, was a propeller mounted a 1.4-liter turbo gasoline that releases an output of 220 horses well ensuring very high performance, almost as a real sport.

We just have to wait to see if the car in question is actually put on the market or go into oblivion.

Despite the Alfa Romeo Mi.To. has made its debut just a few months ago, the Italian house would already working hard to debut another vehicle with the intent to achieve the same outcry generated by Mi.To.

The vehicle in question is called Alfa Romeo 169 and should further broaden the family of rear-wheel-drive sedans.

Unfortunately, not much is known about the new vehicle because the company is trying to maintain absolute secrecy in order to further increase the wait until the official presentation.

Rumors say that the new 169 mount a V6 engine with an engine capacity close to 3 liters and a power that should be around 300 horses.

We just have to wait for the official announcement to know all the technical characteristics and the first official photos of the new Alfa Romeo model 169.

As mentioned at the time at the Geneva Motor Show this year Alfa Romeo presented to the public the 8C Spider, sports and discovery version of the much beloved 8C Competizione.

The vehicle in question will be marketed in limited release: only 500 copies that have already gone literally steals with the company remained adamant about the possibility of increasing production.

In recent days have appeared in network list prices of new cars, at least for those for the German market. In particular, to win a copy of the 8C Spider took 212 thousand euros.

The high price did not, however, stopped the German fans who were awarded more than 100 vehicles equal to 1 / 5 of production.

The first deliveries of the new Alfa Romeo 8C Spider should take place from July of 2009.

A few weeks ago we reported the news that the debut for Alfa Romeo in the American market would have happened in 2010 to coincide with the centenary of the foundation of society.

And instead, almost unexpectedly, you find that the debut of Alfa Romeo in America will not happen in 2010 but by 2011.

The announcement was made today by Fiat Group during the presentation of the quarterly results of companies (for the record discrete but not excellent). The presentation slides camp, in fact, a period that does not create any doubt:

“… The core of the 2007-2010 plan are not affected by temporary diversions planned in 2009, except for the return of Alfa Romeo on the U.S. market, postponed to 2011 …..”

Of course, no explanation of why that has prompted the company to post a year, the official debut, let us therefore wait for any other official who can better explain the situation. We keep informed.
