Description
Alfa Romeo, one of the leading and longest-operating Italian car manufacturers, has built a monument for itself with this car. The extraordinary styling and distinctive appearance of the vehicle have since been admired and praised worldwide.
In close collaboration with the Alfa Romeo "Storico" museum, CMC transformed it into a high-class premium model. A gem of model-making crafted in honor of an important event in racing history.
The 8C 2900B Special Touring Coupé was custom-made and is now the pride of the Alfa Romeo "Storico" museum in Arese, Italy. The vehicle not only has an interesting history but also a striking and unique appearance.
Originally, the 8C 2900B was built for the 24-hour Le Mans race in 1938. It was equipped with a closed body (Berlinetta) designed by Touring specialists based on aerodynamic research on lightweight construction—a patented technology known as Touring Superleggera (aluminum body). The car was completed with an optimized 8-cylinder inline engine with 220 HP and the necessary accessories for night racing at Le Mans.
Despite having a superior advantage during the race, the 8C was unable to finish the race. A tire blowout and subsequent valve break put an end to the pursuit of a seemingly certain victory.
After the race, the car was completely repaired and sold into private hands. Over time, it was owned by successive owners. Ultimately, the car ended up in England, from where it was brought back home in the 1980s by the Alfa Romeo "Storico" Museum in exchange for a Grand Prix Type 158 Alfetta racing car. Storico decided to restore the car as a street version with the original dark red finish.
Since then, this one-of-a-kind rarity has enchanted every museum visitor.
