This 2007 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione is owned by Afshin Behnia of Petrolicious, and it is one of just 90 8C coupes federalized for the US market and 500 produced worldwide. It features a 450-HP Ferrari-derived, front-mounted V8, a six-speed paddle shift gearbox, a full carbon fiber body, mostly carbon fiber interior, and one of the most glorious exhaust notes of the modern era. It is a very rare treat to have a go in such a beautiful machine.

That car looks relatively new for something that came out in 2008.
BXRchampion1993 apart from the interior....unfortunately
BXRchampion1993 it has classic front mid engined gt car proportions and it doesn't follow any dumb design language while maintaining Alfa Romeo style. It's timeless. Like 33 stradale.
BXRchampion1993 2008 has made it pretty damn far!
Henry Kincaid, the interior looks timeless, if i'm honest.
2008? looks like something from 2002
That engine note and style makes up for any short comings this car has. my god it's pretty.
Imagine the 8C with a good manual transmission and a gated shifter...
SergeantMoetz stop it!!! My erection can only get so hard
Funnily enough the prototype had a manual 'box.
This would be my dream car if it had manual transmission.
The Giulia prototype had a manual too. It's a shame they didn't follow through.
electroreviews01 uhm... not really, in Italy or Europe there is a manual choice
That synchronized laugh at 6:16
so much cringe
cringe? I found it creepy af, like 2 robots laughing together...
The Revenant oh I read that at the exact moment it happened 😂 it reminded me of the aliens from the Simpson's or something
-YA!
-HEH HEH HEH HAH HAH
why did you make it sound like cringe and creepy aren't very similar ways to describe something
That engine should be in everything!
was in Maseratis and Ferraris of same vintage. Glorious engine.
Is still in Maserati GranTurismo of today.
The Legendary Sunshades are back ! Love that guy though
Simon Vuille he's a real automotive enthusiast...... he's passionate about his cars..
Great taste in cars, questionable taste in sunglasses - but he is Italian, so he does kinda get away with it IMO.
Matthew Sharpe he's Persian
Girls car
Peder Hansen I have friends who are from Iran and still call themselves Persian........ but this dude is Arab and his wife is italian.... he wishes he was italian and loves the culture obviously.......
I like this guy, he always seems surprisingly down to earth for someone who obviously has a lot of money.
Aaron Henderson people who are cool as fuck and are rich probably earned their money and they know it. douchebags who are rich are that way because they got lucky and they know it and so still feel a need to boast.
thats what i beleive anyway
Next video this guy is going to show up with a Disco Volante
That branded windshield wiper arm though...
cbcsmithers all modern alfa romeos have that touch
my e46 330 has that lol
and my giulia quadrifoglio 510 hp? record nurburgring.bye bye e46
my alfa 147 from 2004 has that too :D
My previous 2017 and now my 2019 Alfa Giulia does NOT come with these branded wipers? I wish it did however. That is a very cool subtle feature.
I watch with captions on, and when you opened up the throttle after waiting for that car to clear, the captions said [music]. 😁
Joe Schmoe lmfao!
Funny. Mine said [Applause].
the caption wasn't wrong
I saw one of these in LA on the road about 4 years ago, I had no idea they were so rare. Great looking and sounding car, it's just a shame they never came with a manual :'(
YEP THE MANUAL!
The 8C is the defining car for the argument that experience has become the virtue of the "best" cars, and not performance. The noise, rarity, aesthetic and attention to detail make the 8C far more desirable than the 430 or Granturismo, despite not wearing the Ferrari or Maserati name. 50 years later, I bet this will be the Sprint Speciale of its day. It isn't particularly fast for its time, but boy oh boy is it special.
In 50 years time this car will be a winner of few councourses I bet. The 430 and Granturismo will not even qualify for some of these events.
storck08 50 yrs from now we'll be racing hover crafts lol.
Frankly the only reason that it is special is that they only produced 500. If they produced 20k a year and priced it at $40k then despite it's great looks and sound people wouldn't consider it any more special than a Mustang.
Adam S the only made 25 jaguar xkrs gts and no one considers it special
Adam S lol that is not even close to true...nor would they be able to price it at 40k with a full carbon body and interior ...
Love the 8C, what a car. Afshin seems like a top bloke too. Great to see a "real world" review / discussion about a car that you don't hear a lot about anymore. I always thought they were probably more fun to drive than the reviewers would have you believe!
This guy has sunglasses the size of my hometown!
The 8c is a contender for the top 5 most beautiful cars ever for sure.
The other 4 being? Just curious.
Adriano's Classic 500 eg hatch
So 4 500 eg' s and the Alfa?
I'm not sure what my top 5 is, there are so many beauties to choose from... Lamborghini Miura, Ferrari 250GT, Mercedes 300SL, Jaguar E-type... just random from the top of my head :)
Adriano's Classic 500 yes a it's gorgeous automobile !
The greenhouse is very interesting, I love how all the windows are round. It just looks funky inside and I love it.
Matt, you still need to drive an Alfa 75 to complete the puzzle of what an Alfa Romeo was to drive. Tuned 75s (turbos or V6s) were so popular in the 80s & 90s. Essentially, you need to drive a V6 alfa, this engine is one of the best engines ever.
The looks are worth the 300K on their own. So the rest is for free!
first comments are the gearbox dated it. That happens for every automated gearbox when a newer version comes out, its kind of like the infotainment systems, once the new one comes out it is instantly dated. The engine, chassis and style will be amazing for years to come, it just needed a manual trans and it wouldn't be dated anymore
And Alfa is bringing it back.
This is one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen.
Matt, I don't know if u will ever see this comment. But the 8C is one of the most valuable italian supercar from the 2000s on the market. It still sells strong above 330k at a auction.
Thank you Afshin for sharing your Alfas with Matt and us, and it's nice to see that you drive them, not just collect them. I've been an Alfa fan since the 70's, owned several sports cars but never owned an Alfa unfortunately. BTW my screen saver is the 8C; you're never too old to dream.
This is hands down one of the top 5 best looking cars of the modern age. The real question is, how did they fit such a glorious sounding v8 into this thing??
I clicked on this video because I wanted a regular guys review of the 8c, I wasn't disappointed! Great review and video, I could have listened to that engine for an hour, God is that a glorious sound! Thanks for a great video.
I've driven one of these and it was unbelievable. The sound coming out of those exhaust pipes was one of the most beautiful noises I've ever heard.
The passenger makes some of the best videos on RUclips that shows not only the car, but passion by its owners. The Ferrari 250 GTB video was insane!
Love auto tempest- not because you told me to, but because you told me to!! Thanks Matt!
Thank you Matt for the review. The 8C has always been one of my go to drool tools. They look and sound amazing. Cheers
One of the most beautiful cars out there. I love the shape of the side windows, looks perfect from every angle
super rare piece of art and spaceballs. all a video needs! such a beautiful car. happy to see you didnt rip it apart for being what it is.
Way back in 2001. I had a Friend Ian from Dublin Ireland. When he came to the states for work he brought 2 cars with him. A 156 Alfa with the Twin Spark engine and a 2000 Honda Civic Type r. I had a 1988 Mark 3 Turbo Supra. When we would be driving in Florida he would get so many looks because at the time Alfa was not sold here. When he had to have brakes done a guy from Italy flew to the Subaru dealership that used to sell Alfa’s to install a new brake system. People stopped at the shop who had Ferrari, Porsche, Lotus and even Lamborghini back then.
Awesome Matt and Afshin! Beautiful machine...
Finally a video worth watching
As a cyclist (who tries to avoid the most popular driving roads out of respect and self preservation) I would definitely consider it a treat to hear and see that car up close. Not every cyclist is a granola crunching car hater.
That engine bay was filthy. I love it!
love the 8C , looks and sound
From the windshield forward that is the most sophisticated look in all of modern automobile-dom. The sound of the over run on shifting is pure race car.. burble, pop, crack. Holy poop.
You were obviously reading the comments. I've seen so many people request this car. I am happy to see it on your channel as well.
Auto tempest is where it's at!!!
Man!!! That sounds amazing and looks amazing!!!!
Sounds like a muscle car, even with the slightly slow paddle shift which makes it sound like a fast manual change. Love it!
You should bring this guy back at least once a month. FUCKING LEGEND.
Thanks for sharing Afshin
One of the Top5 most beautiful cars... such a great one. even the "older" interior is just great.
One of my dream cars. Pure car art. The Top Gear review is spot on in that regard. One of the most beautiful cars ever made, and one of the best sounding. Will never be able to have one, but I am saving for a Maserati Gransport - which is nearly the same thing - and much cheaper.
Kudos for the Spaceballs reference. RIP John Candy.
ChaosphereIX maserati gran turismo s sound veeeeerrrrryyy simillar. You can buy ome of those :) and its beautiful too
Yes it does. Would rather have the Gransport honestly, personal preference. Both have the same engine too.
This and the OG vanquish...So beautiful it hurts!
wheels and body look
great, a rare ride matt.
lucky man. hope you
enjoyed it dude 😀
This car just looks amazing!
You know, upon further reflection and more than one video starring those glasses I've come to the conclusion, my own humble opinion, that he can officially "rock" those glasses so to speak and not give the perception of being a poseur so to speak. He has a serious Alfa collection and if anyone has the right shit to wear those it's this guy. I say this as they were quite the topic in the first video. Bravo Sir! And I'm sure he gives less than 2 shit's what anyone thinks as well...
An Auto Masterpiece for centuries
Just beautiful.....
Genuinely one of the prettiest works of art ever made.
digging autotempest. great plug
8C comes standard with a REAL stereo sound . . . amazing!
Man I love your channel! No asshole driving, great cars, beautiful roads, always honest. I love the effort you put in pronouncing correctly cars names, I think you may be the only american that knows how to pronounce "Lancia" :P greetings from Italy
Awesome video thanks guys!
Nice job Matt
I absolutely adore this car.
that is a beautiful car. possibly most beautiful of this era
Two of my favorite car channels together. Wow. And of course he has good taste, though I'm surprised he didn't choose a really old car given his usual subject matter.
What a glorious sounding car. Sound matches the looks!
This car is largely forgotten, but it's something special.
Fan-tastic. Thanks for doing this car!
True indeed, beauty beats everything long term. I love how classic it looks, and how filthy it sounds.
I didn't even realize they were sold North America! It is one of the best sounding V-8's out there…
This and the MC Stradale look amazing with the same engine ofc. Such beauty the 8c
this thing is glorious, the gerbox sadly is old but everything else is beautiful. it looks really really really good, is sounds amazing and for the road is as fast as in needs to be. when i will have the money this, the carrera gt and the lfa are on top of my list
Hats off to a generous owner...well done Sir.
Marvelous car. 3500lbs seems just right for a GT car.
Beautiful car. Something different!
Great Alfas. Great owner. Thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful sound
AUTOTEMPEST IS GOING TO CHANGE MY LIFE. Thank you for the suggestion!
this car never got great reviews seems like a fun drive. Looks great
beautiful car good to see it getting driven!
That custom seat configuration is my dream! I am OCD with my seat and hate when its moved, even slightly, lol....alot of cars I see or have owned didn't have memory seats, but this would be glorious and a perfect excuse to say for not moving my seat at all, "Only the dealership can readjust my seat". Love it!
Loved the Spaceballs reference! Checking IN!!!
Gotta say one of the most beautiful cars made..
Wow. That sounds amazing
I wouldn't have thought this was a 2007. It has held its age very well lookswise
MY FAVORITE CAR OF ALL TIME, with all it's issues I still love it, because only the 8C have it and I think that made her the best "soul" in an Alfa Romeo. (Owner of a 156 GTA and 4C)
The first rule of Italian driving..........what's behind me is not important.
And what's ahead of me must step aside quickly.
Precisamente.
It sounds great!
Stunning Car!!! So cool that they sold in the US before fully moving back years later
Beautiful machine
gorgeous car. only saw it in person once.
Who needs a radio with this sound. Such a gorgeous car
I have the 1/18 version of this car and it's a work of art!
Me too! Same color? Funny story... I work the Turkey Run Classic Car Show at Daytona, & about 6 yrs ago (year after I got the model!) in drives the REAL car exact same color - like seeing a unicorn! I of course followed him to his spot. Actually for sale the guy is a nearby broker. Planned to come back & take a load of shots but he left early! The next year made up for it. He showed up in a pearlescent white spyder & didn't make that mistake twice! When I saw him last yr he'd sold the coupe but still had the Spyder. This video sure makes me want to give him a shout. Huge car guy very cool even acted like he'd let me drive his toys(not sure this one). If you've not seen in person they are absolutely stunning, the paintwork & craftsmanship are second to none too.
I've seen one in the flesh. Easily one of the most beautiful cars ever made. The lines, proportions... and that sound!!!!
"Her royal highness' matched luggage."
I lost it. I appreciate you, Matt, and your occasional Spaceballs references.
What a beautiful car! Love the logo on the wiper arm, too.... lol
Jeeeez those glasses again...every time I see them it cracks me up. Finest humour is unintentional.
This car looks great.
I love this car. If I could have one car for the rest of my life it would be this.
such a beautiful car.
Always been in love with the 8C.. bug splat at 6:26
This car was beautiful in 2007 and will stand out and be beautiful 100 years from now. It's auto art
I saw one in person in Atlanta. It looks unbelievable on the road.
This is one of the best looking cars of all times!
I like the transmission though. Sure it's not that fast, but when you're ripping up those canyon roads under heavy throttle those shifts are so dramatic and satisfying.
