Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Spider ‘1938
Quoting cromoclassico.com
“The engine was designed by the genius Vittorio Jano and it embodies the top level quality in its design and implementation.
Versions with the Touring body are masterpieces of beauty and elegance.
In short, it is a car with irresistible charm that keeps winning awards in the top beauty contests of the world, from Peeble Beach to Bagatelle.
n 1937, the 8C 290 was something very similar to the current Ferrari Enzo, McLaren F1 or Pagani Zonda.
Its competitors could be counted on the fingers of one hand. There was Bugatti 57S Atlantic, but it didn’t have the independent suspensions of Alfa.
Mercedes 540K Spezial Roadster was very heavy and really strong only in versions with the supercharger.
Finally, there was Duesenberg SJ that was really powerful but still far too big and heavy.”
