The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione Revs Engine A Bit, Gets Ready To Race Grandma

We know yesterday was Maximum Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione Day, but we've got so much good content from our day at the Meadowbrook Concours d'Elegance, we just had to show you. For instance — the above video we somehow managed to smuggle out of the glove-switching hands of the folks at Fast Lane Daily — it's the original video from yesterday's episode of the daily show that lives life in the fast lane. And although many Bothans may have died to bring you this, it was well worth it — just so you can hear the faint engine sounds of the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione as it revs its engine getting ready for a little race action versus grandma.

We Enjoyed The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione More Than Her Anyway

While one of us was spending his time with a lady named Alfa at the Meadowbrook Concours d'Elegance press preview — another publication was busy checking out some other ladies. We however, know the difference between high class and not-so-much — of course that may be because we once dated the one on the left. [Autoblog]

Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione Live From Meadowbrook, But Why Are We Crying?

Although the video's really loud — the boys from the show that lives life in the FastLane so often it's Daily snagged some video of the new Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione from yesterday's US reveal. It looks so pretty when it's moving...and you can hear the engine...wait...it's moving and I can't hear the engine. I'm hearing something else instead. What is this noise I'm hearing instead? Wait, it's a silly man with a hand-changing glove. What is he doing — why is the silly man with the hand-changing glove flapping his gums? We want to hear the car — not him! Gah! Stop! Talking! Argh! Sacrilege! Double Gah!

Mama Mia! The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione Is Beautiful Like-a The Nature

Ah, now this is more like it — the beauty of the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione cannot be contained by a mere studio. No, it must be free. It must be out of doors. It must merge its beauty with the beauty of nature. Much like it's doing in these highly p-chopped press shots from Alfa Romeo. And fear not, lovers of the 8C Competizione, there is more coming — just keep your peepers peeled at our tag.

The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione Gives Us A Fever Even In A Sterile Studio

As Maximum Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione Day continues, we're now onto the press photos released by the kind folks at the Italian automaker. For the first grouping, here are the on-set exterior press shots. They're nice, yes — but as I'm sure you can tell — if it weren't for the fact that it's the 8C Competizione, they'd be kinda plain. But because it's the Alfa Romeo phallic supercar — we're just gaga.

Hey, Grandma! I've Got Some Wheels, Wanna Race?

Don't think we didn't notice the obvious hilarity in this shot we took yesterday at the US reveal of the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione. The best part — the driver of the $200,000-plus supercar was revving his engine. This "race" is kind of like our way of showing Maximum Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione Day is totally in full gear — and don't worry — more is coming, just keep your eyes on the tag. Oh, and if you're looking for a High-Res shot of "the race" — we've got that too — right here.
