The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione is a sports car produced between 2007 and 2009 with a total production number of 500 units. Alfa Romeo shares the platform previously utilised by the Maserati Coupe. The 4.7L V8 engine is also fitted in the Maserati GranTurismo S.
Need for Speed: Shift
The 8C Competizione is included in the downloadable Exotic Racing Series Pack for Need for Speed: Shift. It is featured as a tier 3 vehicle with a 7.80 car rating.
The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione has a decent acceleration and good top speed. Its handling is typical for a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive car; players can exit corners at a high speed as long as the player does not enter the corner at an inappropriate speed. It can be upgraded with a Works conversion kit in both games.
Need for Speed: World
The 8C Competizione was made available in Need for Speed: World through the dealership on January 3, 2012, making it the first car to be released that year.
It initially appeared as a tier 3 vehicle. It was retired on June 23, 2012, but was temporarily featured as a Top-Up gift. On August 22, 2012, it was re-released in the car dealer and featured as an A class vehicle.
The 8C has extremely responsive handling and a lot of traction, making it one of the best handling A class cars, besides the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. It has mediocre acceleration and a weak nitrous boost though. Top speed is 216 mph (348 km/h).
The 8C is very useful for difficult race routes, where faster accelerating cars can be outperformed in low-speed corners.
