Alfa Romeo 8C 2,9


The 8C 2,9 is considered the fastest car between the two World wars. Just the engine of his predecessor is kept; otherwise the design is completely anew. Quite a few features of this car are far from common at that time: for example its
Transaxle principle, independent suspension and the hydraulically operated brake. In the version shown above, the car may have reached an enormous and unusual drag coefficient of clearly under 0.4. This car is successful for the
brand Alfa Romeo. From 1936, it wins in three successive years the Mille Miglia and in 1936 the 24 hours of Spa. And what is even more astonishing, it wins the Mille Miglia once again after the war.
