Italian tuner Novitec has spruced-up the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider/Coupe to make this the most powerful Alfa Romeo around.
The tuning kit begins with a new supercharger for the 4.7 liter V8, borrowed from sister outfit Novitec Tridente, which specializes in tuning Maserati. But the supercharger had to be modified to fit under the 8C's bonnet.
Power is boosted on the 450 PS (331 kW / 444 bhp) V8 to a total output of 600 PS (441 kW / 592 bhp) and 588 Nm (434 lb-ft) of torque. The 0 to 100 km/h sprint takes just 3.9 seconds and top speed is 305 km/h (189.5 mph).
Optional is a stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system.
For the ride, Novitec provides its height-adjustable threaded coil-over suspension and three-piece NA3 wheels in 9J x 21 and 11.5J x 22 dimensions wrapped in Pirelli tires sized 255/30ZR21 and 315/25ZR22, for the front and back, respectively.
The tuner also offers an interior finish in leather and Alcantara in any color desired.
