Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione by Wheelsandmore

Tuesday, October 9, 2012

The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione might go down in history as one of the most beautiful automobiles ever created, but that hasn't stopped Wheelsandmore from attempting to improve an icon. Looking tastefully restrained, the model is equipped with a foil wrap, matte black accents, an adjustable coilover suspension and 21-inch forged alloy wheels with Hankook S1 Evo tires. The 4.7-liter V8 engine can be outfitted with a revised ECU which enables it to produce 470 PS (345 kW / 463 hp) and 500 Nm (368 lb-ft) of torque - an increase of 20 PS (14 kW / 19 hp) and 30 Nm (22 lb-ft). If that isn't powerful enough, the Stage II package adds a sports exhaust system which enables the engine to churn out 485 PS (356 kW / 478 hp) and 520 Nm (383 lb-ft) of torque.

The Alfa Romeo 8C got a further performance improvement through the matte-black, individualized 6Sporz² ultralight forged wheels. The weight-optimized multipiece wheels are sizing 9.0x21 inches on the front axle with tires 245/30/21 and on the drive axle stately 12.5x21 inches with 345/25/21 S1Evo tires from Hankook.
A perfect look and a comfortable everyday use ensures a compression and rebound adjustable coilover suspension, which is also available for vehicles with oem Skyhook suspension. The coilover suspension is offered with a limited 5 years warranty.
The presented conversion was totally wrapped in matte white foil with a red and black Wheelsandmore design stripe. Wheelsandmore internally called their Alfa Romeo 8 C conversion "Senza-Cromo", because all chrome mounted parts were also swathed in matte black.
