I used to work for a prestige car dealer which sold new Audi, Porsche and Ferrari vehicles. Occasionally we'd have used Astons, Bentley, Merc, McLaren and Lamborghini for sale also. The staff got used to seeing some pretty cool stuff. Then one day a customer drove an 8C into the middle of the carpark and revved the engine. I shit you not, 4 buildings emptied of staff in a few seconds and crowded the car.

Not meant as a supercar...its just a truly beautiful creation and i want one.

There is something about Alfa Romeo cars that makes them so cool. Pretty much all Alfa owners love their cars.And I really mean they take care more about their cars than they do for their wifes.

"the most important thing i'm looking for in a car is fun, it has to be able to put a smile on your face" -clarkson

Jeremy Clarkson's way with words in this video is also art

If it wasn't for the '08 plate on the car, you could easily think this car was a current model. Such an elegant and timeless shape. I wish Alfa would bring back a small coupe like the GTV and style it based on the 8c. The Giulia is nice and a good platform but their range badly needs filling out a bit!

“Buying this car for its dynamic ability is like buying a porn film for its plot” 😂😂😂😂gold

Even nicer to have an Alfa follow you. I love it when I glance at the rearview and see the Alfa front end. It's electrifying.

Alfa Romeo des œuvres d'art tout simplement

I totally understand this. When I was in college, I was driving to work one afternoon and saw, parked in front of a gas station with a "for sale" sign on its windshield, a car so beautiful I had to stop. It had no engine, and they were asking something like $7,000 for it, and this was in the 60s. It was an outrageous price, but it was so gorgeous, I wanted to buy it, if only to put it in the living room. The next day, the car was gone. The guy at the gas station told me some guy had bought it with the idea of putting a 327 Chevy engine in it. Turned out to be a BMW 507.

Maybe the Disco Volante could pip it. But I'm not sure.

And what a lovely sound it makes!

THIS ladies and gentlemen is how a car is properly presented.. i dont think any show will even remotely reach top gear's class. ever.

I worked in an Alfa Romeo dealership near Knutsford for a few months once. It was a terrible place to work, the culture was coercive and fearful, the job was monotonous and I was glad when I left more than ten years ago. But one day, a white 8C convertible came in. It was being held for a customer who was coming in to collect it. It spent a few days in the show room. A little bit of niceness for a couple of days. It was a lovely looking thing.

One of thee best Top Gear segments ever!

Stunning machine with 'heart'...

Jeremy is a car enthusiast poet. What Murray Walker was for F1, Jeremy is for car test drivers.

From the roof to the C pillar and back, this reminds me of the Maserati Cambiocorsa. The front, however, is very much like the 33 Stradale, all of which makes this a bite-the-back-of-your-hand beautiful vehicle that I'd kill to own.

Wow! Just when I thought all the important questions had been asked. Can a car be art. Thank God we have soooooo much to look forward to with questions like this.

Italians legends of beauty

Some say that one of the purposes of art is to invoke emotions, so I guess alpha's can be considered art. Even if that emotion is extreme rage because it's broken down on the side of the road or in a mechanical shop more of the time than it has been actually working. So, instead of calling alpha's "shit" one could therefore call them "artistic."
