Our December issue, officially on sale today (1 November), includes an 11-page feature on the new supercar, with breath-taking images of the car shot in Alfa's old Arese plant.
CAR Online has told you the 8C basics, that the supercar has a 4.7-litre V8 packing 450bhp, and that the lightweight beauty can devour the 0-62mph sprint in 4.0sec, before blasting onto 185mph.
But in the latest CAR magazine, we can reveal the feel of the controls, the sensation of its acceleration, and how sharply it handles. And in Georg Kacher's world exclusive, we also reveal how much input Ferrari and Maserati have had in the 8C.
Ferrari helping to create an in-house F430-botherer...who'd have thought it?"
