ok, as a newcomer to the group (and not presently owning an alfa...although
I *have* owned two GT coupes)...I must apologize if this has been posted
before.

The Canguro.

or, as I refer to it: The Most Beautiful Alfa Ever Made.

www.ultimatecarpage.com has some pretty good pictures.

Or, if you prefer a more direct link:

Thank you, you may now return to your enjoyment of fine Italian motoring.

I could never make my mind up between the TZ1 and the Giulietta SZ
Coda Lunga. Loved them both passionately. Now AR have resolved the
dilemma for me by producing the 8C Competizione.

Then again, as CM says; "each to his own". Oh to own an 8C!

Quibbles:

1. The cockpit is too big for the rest of the car.

2. The wheels look a bit undersize in the arches.

3. Too many of those horizontal air vents in the wings.

4. The Alfa grille is stuck in the front intake like an unlucky pigeon that's
been struck at high speed.

Better from some angles than others.

Nice Iso Grifo in the background...

Something of an Alfa trait, that.

I have to agree with #4 -- they could have foregone the attempt at the
trademark grille and the car would have looked *better* for it.
