F430?s engine was based in v8 of Maserati Couper/Spyder (that engine was based in AR?s V8 project of 1993) ?8c competizione?s engine will be based to F430?s with simiral conversions in order to have ??roar?? sound like classic alfa?s/Ferrari and not like Maserati that traditional have more mild/bass sound.It will be a real Gt like ferrari 599 & 612 and ofcourse Michael Schumacher will help in the development as he did with all Ferrari/Maserati supercars?even helped in 159/Brera.
8c is the only car in this price tag that offers car body from carbo fibers sth that much more expensive supercars like Enzo,Carrera GT,SLR,Veyron,Pagani,MC12,FXX offer?only that shows that is one step forward to F430,Gallardo,911 turbo,V8 Vantage,SL AMG etc....also is by far the most beautiful car at last 3 decates and cause to limited production it would be more exclusive (collectors favourite)?.also 8c is the name of the first supercar ever made with engine in front most important than successor GTO-1962. 8c2300 was the first racing car (apart from grand prix) that brought the badge of cavallino rampante of scuderia ferrari and it used v8 with mechanical compressor!! ?it has the name of the car that gave birth the philosophy in which based ferrari?s Gt from 166 until 599?.8c will be more extreme than F430.Enzo begin as racing driver of AR?then alfa romeo assigned him the organization of scuderia Ferrari (1929) which was AR?s official racing team?.many years later the first Ferrari was build-1947 based in the philosophy of alfa 8c and specially of its successor S10 V12?also the project of first Ferrari 166 is based in AR?s project that was cut of with state interference.Enzo had great respect to AR that refered to it as Mother?it was not accidental that he was was visiting his son (Dino) cemetery with his AR164 despite that in this period lancia thema 8.32 (with 8cylinder Ferrari engine) was introduced?.he preferred 164!Cars like 8c competizione/Enzo/Mc12 are priceless cause demand is more that production.Even Mclaren F1 despite great reviews from the press it couldn?t sell even 100F1 in 5 years.,,and Italians had 1200 people who wanted to buy one of the 399+1 (tsunami) enzo?s?to all this add 29fxx and 50Mc12?s,400 people for 349 F50?s sth that shows that collectors with culture prefer Italian cars by far!... (in some occasions also some british supercars).For 8c competizione up to now they are 3000 people that are interested to buy it-cause the carbon fiber autobody allows only 500-1000 per year and imagine what will happen between the 3000 people who are interested. (remember Z8 of bmw that sold only 2000 and forced to take it out from the market).AR is the favourite car make for collectors with the biggest history in automotive field,a company that gave its help to Ferrari when it was asked.
Final version of 8c will be presented this September in Paris as said from Antonio Baravalle.AR has not yet speak about 8c?s engine power?.ex AR?s CEO said in an interview that with the use of compressor this engine will have same torque with Carrera Gt which means 590nm?..when atmospheric engines of ferrari and maserati have 451/460ΝΜ.Each engine they will use 4.2lt (with compressor) v8 or the new 4.7lt v8 the engine power will be between 450 and 500hp?4.2lt version will weight 1400kg and 4.7lt 1350kg.Gallardo uses conventional alouminium monocoque like F430 when 8c has car body in carbon fiber and that is the reason for the limited production-500-1000 per year.Ceramic brakes are optional in F430 when in 8c are standard.F430 and 8c have different driving style cause the difference engine/gearbox position?. Like murcielago/f430 with 599/8c competizione-a tradition that begin with 8c2900 in 30es and continued with οι 550,575,Superamerica,456,612,599..cars that classic ferraristi appreciate most (V12) compared to fans of F430 which are multi-collective and with low cultivation level.Price in Europe-150.000euro.

At last I want to remind what president of Mercedes Benz told in Frankfurt 2003.If AR was able to produce 8c competizione with no limitation in production it will break down Porsche in a few months!!
