Under the Pebble Beach tent the cars were gem-like. Feast your eyes on the lines of a '38 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900. This one is a Superleggera with a body to die for... er, by Carrozzeria Touring.

Mama Mia! The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione Is Beautiful Like-a The Nature
Ah, now this is more like it — the beauty of the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione cannot be contained by a mere studio. No, it must be free. It must be out of doors. It must merge its beauty with the beauty of nature. Much like it's doing in these highly p-chopped press shots from Alfa Romeo. And fear not, lov...
Hey, Grandma! I've Got Some Wheels, Wanna Race?
Don't think we didn't notice the obvious hilarity in this shot we took yesterday at the US reveal of the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione. The best part — the driver of the $200,000-plus supercar was revving his engine. This "race" is kind of like our way of showing Maximum Alfa Romeo 8C Competizion...

Found: Alfa Romeo 2000 GT
After leaving Scott and his Karmann Ghia we ran to get some groceries and found this sweet little miss thang parked next to us. When it rains, it pours.

Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione at the 'Ring
Sure, we've seen Alfa Romeo's 8C Competizione a few times up close, and had to cower like Quasimoto in its Esmeralda-like presence. Now it's out being flogged on Germany's Nürburgring, which is likely quite a vision. Say spies, this proto version offers a few mild changes, including air in...

Dark, Dark Horse: Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione 8C in Geneva
In Paris, Alfa Romeo hid its comely 8C Competizione from photographers' gaze in a lens-thwarting glass box. In Geneva, the company took a different tack to prevent overexposure: Black paint and wacky lighting. We're not sure if it's a conspiracy by Fiat's mid-luxe brand to keep the 8C as ex...
