Possibly covered before, but Fiat Group have a concept car (under the Alfa banner) known as "8C Competizione":

Looks like:
this

Notice the similar syling cues:

Round rear lamps, (I seem to recall the concepts for the Coupe had larger round lamps).
The Flare rear arches,
The cut off rear,
Hidden door handles,
Seamless Front to back windows,

Apologies if this has been covered before, but apparently they may show this at the Paris motorshow, so thought this might be worth re-visiting.

Its also going to be £80k and have a v8 in it IIRC, not really a coop replacement as such, well not until the depreciation kicks in

Sure.

I was wondering what engine they were considering. But I reckon it's the closest we're going to see out of the Fiat camp as a replacement for the Coupe, (at least in terms of styling).

Yeah, but there must be an invisible cut-off point before you can get away with that!! ie. There's a new type of fast passenger aeroplane, it's called the Concorde - sorry if this has been covered before

(I'm only jestin' )

Ok sorry.

To get back on track, this concept was approved for production around March 06 - the concept was released to the press over 25 months ago (at the 2003 Frankfurt motor show) . There has already been a drivable convertible produced which has been to a few shows, this will not be put into production , according to Alfa. Shame.

I'm just a grumpy old man.

That's still some interesting stuff there Europa. And again, looking at the images, there are deifinite styling cues shared between that car and the Coupe.

<sigh> it's just a shame that it's still concept and looks to be very pricey....

Spot on

I have to admit that IMHO it's on of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen. Have a look around Google for the Pebble Beach Concours show, where the Spider version was shown - stunning. I really hope Alfa make that too.
