Description
The Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Roadster is regarded as one of the finest European sports cars of the 1930s and stands among the most successful and prestigious models in Alfa Romeo history. The name “8C” refers to its legendary supercharged inline eight-cylinder engine with a displacement of 2,336 cc, representing the pinnacle of automotive engineering of its era.
Renowned for its excellent handling, reliability and advanced construction, the 8C achieved numerous victories on international racing circuits. The car is closely associated with legendary Italian driver Tazio Nuvolari, with iconic achievements such as the 1931 Targa Florio victory and wins in the Italian Grand Prix.
Alongside the competition versions, a limited number of road-going models were produced for customers seeking the most successful sports car of its time.
