James Glickenhaus is best known in these parts as the rich guy who paid Pininfarina a lot of money to create a custom body for his Ferrari Enzo, thus creating the renowned and oft-driven Ferrari P4/5. Apparently Glickenhaus is not strictly a Ferrari fan, as he has now become the first of 100 Americans to receive the keys to a U.S.-spec Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione coupe. Glickenhaus even reportedly paid enough extra for his 8C Competizione to get the Alfa Romeo factory to finish his car in the same shade of red used on his one-of-a-kind P4/5. Shortly after Glickenhaus took the keys and went for a first drive, the same dealership handed over two more 8Cs to slightly lesser mortals.

 

Its just one of those cars, you have to see in person in order to judge.
Whatever the case is, I ain't droppin $300K on it...
Congrats to him. I love his NY-DonaldTrump-esque cockiness

 

looks more like a 60k coupe. im looking forward to seeing this in person

 

I love these things... not sure if they merit the cost but I guess if there will only be 100 of them inthe country it makes sense... beautiful cars either way

 

thanks for sharing
IMO it worth every penny it looks gorgeous sounds amazing and is limited to 100 cars world wide what more could you ask?

 

Im sure it looks sick in person, and from what I have heard, it also sounds the part...

 

Clean lines. I dig it.

 

Dayumm! I love it

 

They have one at The Collection, driving past it the other night it didn't really catch my eye as I expected. Looks very regular imo even though its a beautiful car.

 

Neat looking car. Think they used one in the new James Bond film.
