Sydney show: Alfa debuts 8C, Spider

A BEVY of new models headlines Alfa Romeo Australia's exhibit at this year's Sydney show, led by the Italian brand’s latest (Brera coupe-based) Spider two-seater convertible – sub-$77,000 pricing and full specifications for which were revealed last week.

Appearing as a concept in Sydney two years ago, the rear-drive 8C Competizione super-coupe also made its Australian debut for Alfa in Sydney – direct from its global production debut at Paris last month.

Though it will not be built in right-hand drive, the limited-production Porsche 911 rival has already attracted dozens of interested Australians and will spawn an open-topped Spider version powered by the same 336kW/470Nm 4.7-litre V8.

Alfa's new 159 sedan and 159 Sportwagon range is also on display, alongside the GT and Brera coupe offerings and the brand’s upgraded 166 Ti sedan flagship.

Alfa's sister brand Fiat also presented new DuaLogic variants of its Punto light hatch.
