First shown at the 2006 Paris Auto Show, the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione ($200,000; late 2008) is finally making its way stateside. The retro-styled racer features a 4.7-liter, 450hp V8 engine, carbon fiber body with steel chassis, a 6-speed robotic gearbox, 20" wheels, and looks that would please even the most discerning car connoisseur.
