In this configuration the length of the camshafts was cut in half, making them less prone to flexing. With the help of two superchargers, one for each block of cylinders, the 8C engine produced bhp in road trim and a hefty bhp in competition specification.
Another advanced feature of the 8C was the use of a gearbox that was fitted in unit with the rear differential. Like most high performance cars of the period, the 8C featured hydraulic drum brakes. The rolling chassis of the car weighed in at around kg pounds. The coach-builder of choice for the cars was Touring of Milan, who produced light and very slippery bodies.
It is believed that all five 8C B competition chassis were originally clothed by Touring with open bodies for the Mille Miglia. Four cars were entered in the gruelling mile road race and Alfa Corse recorded a clean sweep of the podium.
The success in the Mille Miglia prompted Alfa Romeo to prepare one car for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, a race the 8C won four years running between and The Spider body was stripped from the chassis and replaced with an even more aerodynamic coupe body. The large panels directly behind the front wheels could be removed to allow the mechanics better access to the engine.
All this work was done to optimise the 8C for the long straights at Le Mans. Their life was made an even easier by the retirement of several of the quickest Delahayes and Talbot Lagos. One of the cords of the tire ripped the fender apart, requiring repairs. Still with a healthy lead, Biondetti went back out. Unfortunately the car ground to a halt after only a few laps with either a broken valve or gearbox failure.
There were still several hours to go when the Le Mans Berlinetta retired but it had nevertheless completed more laps than the Delahaye that eventually finished fourth. Although there are different reports on what broke on the car, most agree that the blow-out was the cause of the problem. Sommer most likely attempted to slow the car down without touching the brakes, which undoubtedly would have ended in disaster. While slowing down the engine probably over-revved causing damage to either the gearbox or one of the valves, or both.
After the car was completely repaired, it was sold to a gentleman in Rome. It eventually disappeared from the radar until it was discovered in Rome during the late s by Count Giovanni Livorno and Corrado Cupellini. The Le Mans Berlinetta was complete and original condition but did need some work to restore it to its former glory. With a fresh coat of paint, it was sold to the famous British broker Colin Crabbe.
The subsequent custodian of the unique machine was Lord Doune and finally it passed into the hands of Mike Sparken and Caroll Spagg. Under their care, the car was carefully restored to full running order. Understandably, Alfa Romeo was more than a little interested in reacquiring the ill-fated but still hugely impressive machine.
Since then the car has been prominently displayed in the museum but also made numerous outings. In recent years it has been repainted from a rather bright red to a more period correct deep red. One of the runs up the hill was made by Goodwood supremo Lord March with his daughter in the passenger seat. Of the pre-war Alfa Romeos put into production, the 8C B can be considered the maximum expression.
It derived from the 8C A, winner of the Mille Miglia. Регистрация мои любимые Мои заказы Профиль. Товарно-экспедиционные расходы. Carmodel code: CAR Материал: смола. Year: EAN: Availability: not available. Exchange rate: Select currency USD The currency accepted for payments is only in Euro.
