The lines on the side are designed to be undulating. The roof arches flat and curved over the passengers.

However, according to rumors, the new Alfa 8C is not powered by an eight-cylinder like its predecessor. Instead, the mid-engine model is powered by a V6 twin-turbo engine developed by Ferrari. The six-cylinder is currently in use in the Giulia QV and the Stelvio QV, where it generates 510 hp. An electric motor on the front axle - this drive train also comes from Ferrari - should be able to achieve the output of over 700 hp specified by Alfa. As an alternative, the next generation of the twin-turbo V8 from Ferrari could also work in a modified form in the 8C, this drive train is also designed as a hybrid and would do justice to the series name.
