The car, veteran of several important and historic competitions, is from the collection of renowned French racecar driver Bernard Consten and has won concours d'élegance honors.

Alfa Romeo's $200,000 Supercar

Meadow Brook's Concours d'Elegance, suburban Detroit's luxury car show to end all luxury car shows, will feature the return of an old favorite: Alfa Romeo. The high-end car manufacturer announced that it will bring its vehicles back to the United States, starting with the $200,000 8C Competizione supercar, then continuing in 2009 with the Brera and the Spyder.

Since the automaker pulled out of the States in 1995, numerous comebacks have been rumored to no avail. With the beautiful show in Rochester Hills as the canvas, Alfa has finally mapped out a plan. In addition to the new Competizione, Alfa Romeo will show off its Berlina Aerodinamica Technica technology on its cars from the 1950s.

The Alfa Romeo Beauty

Alfa Romeo is coming back to the States and it couldn't have chosen a more astonishingly gorgeous car than it's 8C. Scheduled to debut in Paris late September, the rear wheel drive coupe has a six speed coupled with a 4.7 V8 from Maserati that cranks out 450 horses and 347 pound feet of torque. I'll stop rambling because the pictures pretty much speak for themselves, but I would like to point out that Autoblog commenter Art pretty much sums it up: "Instant classic on the DOT."

Delta Alfa Romeo Pen


The Delta Alfa Romeo pen is created from a block of bright Alfa red resin. The pen which is available as a fountain pen or a rollerball is accented with sterling silver details. The pen features the Alfa logo and the central barrel ring replicates the car's grill and the cap crown's mimic the design of the spoked wheels. The trim ring is created in the likeness of the original tire tread and the platinum plated clip features a ruby. The fountain pen features an 18kt gold nib and there are%uFFFD 1750 of each type available. The fountain pen costs $499 and the rollerball is $236.
