Thumbs up Alfa Romeo 8C Spider tuned by Novitec














Tuning package for the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider and Coupe variants includes a supercharger that adds 150 HP

Italian tuner Novitec has spruced-up the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider/Coupe to make this the most powerful Alfa Romeo around.

The tuning kit begins with a new supercharger for the 4.7 liter V8, borrowed from sister outfit Novitec Tridente, which specializes in tuning Maserati. But the supercharger had to be modified to fit under the 8C's bonnet.

Power is boosted on the 450 PS (331 kW / 444 bhp) V8 to a total output of 600 PS (441 kW / 592 bhp) and 588 Nm (434 lb-ft) of torque. The 0 to 100 km/h sprint takes just 3.9 seconds and top speed is 305 km/h (189.5 mph).

Optional is a stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system.

For the ride, Novitec provides its height-adjustable threaded coil-over suspension and three-piece NA3 wheels in 9J x 21 and 11.5J x 22 dimensions wrapped in Pirelli tires sized 255/30ZR21 and 315/25ZR22, for the front and back, respectively.

The tuner also offers an interior finish in leather and Alcantara in any color desired.

I hope they improved on the suspension. They interviewed the old stig and he stated that it was one of the worst cars he has ever driven

I hope they improved on the reliability. Alfa's are the worse piece of crap on the planet.
This one looks sooo sweet though. Especially with the Novitec wheels. Reminds me of a really hot chick. High maintenance but worth every minute you're with her.

LOL. The kind that will give you one hell of a drive and then just leave your *** on the side of the road. LOL

They way I look at cars is that there are cars you would like to drive and then there are cars that are nice to own. I think this is the type you would like to drive, but 5-7 years of this thing and you may be screaming for your old Lexus back

Beautiful! Very well done. Just right, not over done.
At very first glance my mind was like.......is this what the S2000 could have become?

I would love to have one of these. This design is simply- Beautiful!

The first pic is my new wall paper.
