Weak dollar tempts Alfa Romeo to start production in the United States

In a recent interview for the Financial Times, Fiat’s Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne announced that Fiat is considering moving the production of some Alfa Romeo cars to the US, which became a very attractive country for producers, after the dollar got very weak in comparison to the Euro. This would be the return of Alfa Romeo to the US, after the company was forced to abandon production here in 1995. Fiat already started talking to the Detroit 3 (General Motors, Ford and Chrysler) about sharing production, but so far there was no official reaction from them.

Alfa Romeo 8C Spider

There are less than two weeks left before the Geneva Motor Show but it seems that Alfo doesn’t want to wait no more, so they’ve officially unveiled the new Alfa Romeo 8C Spider, the convertible version of the Alfa 8C Competizione. Designed by Centro Stile Alfa Romeo, it sure is gorgeous and we can’t wait to feast our eyes on this beautiful Italian cabrio, at the Swiss show, where we’ll be present to report live.

The Alfa 8C Spider, like its coupe brother, will only be produced in 500 units and its very similar with the Competizione, expect for the hooded top fitted with electro-hydraulic automatic control, which is composed of two overlapping sheets: the external one is made with a multi-thread textile which can withstand the elements, whilst the interior has high sound-proofing qualities.

The 8C Spider will be powered by the same 4.7 liter V8 engine, developing 450 hp at 7000?rpm and 480 Nm (354 ft-lb) at 4750?rpm and mated to a 5 speed gearbox. The coupe version accelerates from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.2 seconds and top speed is 181 mph (292 km/h) but we expect the convertible version to be slightly slower.
