Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione

The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione reaches 60 mph in 4.18 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.48 s, tripping the lights at 117.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.06 s and the eighth mile in 8.18 s, reaching 100 mph in 9.57 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the 8C Competizione

The 2008 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione is a rear-drive naturally aspirated supercar of 1,400 kg with 444 bhp, which works out at 317 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 317 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.06 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 900th quickest to 60 mph, and the 5th quickest of the 43 Alfa Romeos here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 117.2 mph, the 650th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Closest here on pace: Ascari Ecosse (3.90 s), Chevrolet Corvette C7 (3.97 s), Morgan Aero 8 GTN (3.80 s). Each one can be raced against the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione in the panel at the top of this page.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
