===Car Index===
Before World War II, Alfa Romeo was a small automotive manufacturer that specialized in creating race machines and upscale road cars. The most notable model from this era was the 8C that appeared in 1931.
The name 8C actually refers to the company's 8-cylinder powerplant. Designed by renowned engineer, Vittorio Jano, this water-cooled engine featured the latest technology of its day, including dual overhead cams (DOHC) and a hemispherical combustion chamber. The 1937 8C 2900B, the last in the 8C line, had 2.9 liters of displacement and came equipped with twin superchargers, enabling the engine to produce 177.5 HP. Two different versions of the chassis were available, with varying wheelbases, allowing customers to choose a number of different body styles from their favorite Carrozzerias.
The Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Touring Berlinetta is a gorgeous coupé designed by Carrozzeria Touring, utilizing the company's Superleggera (Superlight) technology. Thanks to its engine, it boasted race car performance, making it one of the most heralded super sports cars of its day. Rumor has it that only five of these cars were ever produced.

Classical yet elegantly refined, this car is truly a stunning work of art. The body is designed by Carrozzeria Touring... Which had already experimented with a modern 'pontoon' shape and integrated fenders. What made the 8C2900 different... Was its classic design, which accentuated its large, sweeping fenders. Not only did it make a statement among the Alfa Romeos of its day... It continues to grab the attention of modern Italian car enthusiasts.
